Kinda random thought but something to ponder amidst the energy bingeing. What if Netflix were to cover/carry the race in the future. Simply stream it in full, with either limited (to help cover costs I guess) commercial interruption or uninterrupted and upon the conclusion of the race simply keep it up temporarily (1 to 5 days tops) and then replace it with a slightly edited cut down reel for highlighted viewing. It would be brilliant.
 
I'm back. The live blog on here was a very nice, quick way of being able to catch up on what I missed while I was asleep. 👍
 
Was always going to be that way if none of them had a catastrophic mechanical issue.
 
The Porsche LMP1 wheels have 6 paddles. 2 for shifting, presumably 2 for clutch like F1, maybe, but what are the other 2?

Edit: Found some pictures, maybe the bottom two are not actually paddles but just metal for show??

And Monster or other energy enhancers. Did just that one year and made it to 4 AM. ET.

I'd love to stay up and watch it all but it's just not interesting enough to hold my attention. Every so once in awhile some cars are close enough track to have a battle. It's not frequent enough. And all I have to watch it on right now is a big phone screen with the Fox Sports Go app.

Join a live discussion it makes the track seem vastly more active!

I found a picture and edited my post a bit, seems both of those are on the front face as buttons. Still not sure about the switches.

Edit: I'm awful at this not double posting thing. Post faster guys!

Quick release to remove the wheel is my guess.

Top paddles adjust traction control if the need arises under braking.
 
Rebellion in the wall at Indianapolis. Prost at the wheel.
 
We aren't having great luck here.
 
Looks like he's having a hard time restarting the Rebellion.. what a sad day.
 
Dane Train still in it, Nygaard at the wheel. 👍
