  1. Yeah - I have always loved endurance anything from my earliest days. Ran 5ks in high school, and then went straight into much longer distances and even Ironman triathlons. Also, I used to compete in online and in-person 24h chess tournaments where you get a point per win and just the person with the most points win. Choice between a 300pg book and one with 1k? That's right, give him the mammoth novel. People always assumed I was a bit off, and maybe I am. Alright, time for google!
  2. I feel like my love of Motorsports is so similar to my love of Football. Football, or soccer, being a sport that isn't popular here, but was brought to my attention thanks to the '94 World Cup and my Dad getting into to, and from then on out, I kept watching the World Cup...Years later I got introduced into European club football, and my life was changed. I feel in love and find club football so much better than World Cup, even though the popularity isn't there (at least here). Grew up with Nascar, yawn, and a few years ago got introduced to F1, and now I'm finding out about endurance races and again, I feel like my sports life will never be the same. This is absolutely brilliant.
  3. @nudge - What would you do if you could drive, or ride, in the Porsche 356 SL? Just watched Episode 1, and that got me excited about these 24h races, and also, can't believe the stories of them driving the race car to Le Mans, racing, and then driving it home. That is absolutely class.
  4. Yeah certainly unlucky in Q2 as it was a mad house and the red flags came about at the worst possible for the majority of the field.
  5. Yeah missed #22, but that's good. I want to drive a 911 right now after watching that.
  6. 1 Porsche? I thought they dominated this race...?
  7. Certainly understand that. As in an ultra where runners start slow and just get slower, so I am quite familiar with this racing philosophy.
  8. So does that mean Super Pole for #21? That was a clutch lap there to finish it.
  9. So it's the exact opposite of F1 where it can literally decide the winner of the race? That's good to know. Is the race going to be on YT also?
  10. But better. Still not a good showing as this is my first Quali for a 24h race.
  11. 5 seconds slower the the Lambos... They keep saying that Porsche's have dominated this race in recent memory, but they aren't doing too well in today's quali.
  12. I know, but doesn't stop him from putting it in 2nd gear.
  13. Estre does a 5 and a half minute S1... Stewards should check to see if he's walking the damn thing.
  14. Nice! Plus with drivers of Bam, Cam, & Jam, how can you not like that?
  15. No kidding. #22 Porsche looked good though
  16. They just all head to the parking lot during a red flag?
  17. Lietz with a good S1, but this S2 is ugly.
  18. How do you do pits with that many cars?
  19. Decent lap there from Lietz. Also nice to see Aitken in the top 10.
  20. @nudge - Do they have a cap on cars? 58 is just too many it seems. Just frustrating for everyone.
