so far that I have seen, zero coverage or even scoring of the lower classes.
I go back to it every now and then for 5 minutes... nothing

100 year anniversary this year, Ferrari in front for now. Impressive to keep something that highly stressed together for 24 hrs. Unfortunately, along with Dakar and other epic events, overshadowed in the media by cars that can only turn one way and other bollocks…
I remember watching it in the 50's on a little B&W TV. It wasnt in real time because ot time differences and sometimes coverage would be interrupted by glitches, but it was new and WOW. Same with the Olympics.
^^^^Toyota was #2, but for the last several years they dominated LeMans until Ferrari pulled this off, but Caddy took 3 and 4 positions and Corvette won their class for the 9th time and this is the end of C8r. I like the fact I can watch it for hours then go to bed and finish in the morning LOL........
One of the favorite races I ever went to was 24 hours of Daytona. For just that reason.
What a total blast!

Yaow, don be mispronuncin my car...it beez a 'Crack a Lac'.
Sebring is the same for me I live a couple hours away. Drive there watch for a few hours, leave the track and have lunch followed by a few hours into the night for the red hot pipes and brakes light show and then home to finish the race. Good times for sure........

I love the Sebring 12hr race. A friend and I went a few years in a row when we lived in Ft Myers. Some day I want to take my kids to meet up with him and his kids. Hopefully we’ll be able to make it happen at a time when all our kids are interested in something like this
I'd like to see a 28-day race with all women drivers.
