24H Le Mans

Anybody watching and who you pulling for?
Im in Corvette corner and watching specifically the GTE PRO’s. Ferrari 488’s, Porsche 911’s and Corvette C8’s run in class although I enjoy watching all the classes battle.

I always watch the start and keep up with the leaderboard throughout the day! I would love to attend one in person; definitely a bucket list item. As my avatar may hint to, I am always in the Porsche Club and hope that they take the LM GTE Pro!

I got up this morning and watched the start and like you I check a couple times a day and will watch the finish tomorrow. I was telling the wife this afternoon we have to make it to the race as I have before but one day….

This July we’re heading up to Limerock to see the prior GTLM cars and now the GTE PRO’s run. Been going up there since the early 2000’s to see the GTLM cars and now the GTE PRO’s. It’s not Le Mans but still a great day.

You’re sitting on top right now but there’s a lot of laps to go yet. Good luck

Great race, and an awesome finish!

Sorry about the crash for your team…. That’s really stunk.

It was a great race. In Pro it went back and forth with all the teams leading at points but the wreck, that’s racing, what are you going to do. Im sure glad the F car didn’t take the checkered and leave it at that. Good win for Porsche they earned it

Always an exciting race, even on the very last lap(!). Congrats to ALL teams and thanks to all flag/corner staff, promoters, and organizers.
