Default Le Mans

Anyone watching it? 908's are kicking Audi's ass so far. C6R's kicking ass again this year. And I thought I spotted a GTR running around but havent seen it back on the screen yet.

Looks to be a good race this year. Only about an hour and a half into the race so far and not too much carnage which is good.

I cant wait to watch the night portion of the race.

there are no GT-Rs competing at Le Mans. if there was one it maybe was either a safety car (what I realy doubt) or a promo run.

I might of been an aston. I was in the kitchen and thought I saw what looked like a GTR. It was probably the light blue DB9R. I just saw a large opening in the front bumper, the sorta looked like a gtr a a quick glance

Great Race! The Peugeot's were so fast, but it's endurance not a sprint. I would have liked to see Jaques V. win though. That would be one hell of an accomplishment...F1, Indy, and LeMans!

heh, I'd love to see more f1 over here, almost all they show is just stupid fucking nascar, OVER AND OVER AND OVER. out of the 500 races they do monthly they air EVERY one.

wrc is almost nonexistant, and like once a year they show the dakar, though i dont know if they even have more than one dakar rally yearly...
