What a bad day for Porsche. I hate when the Ferrari's beat us. I wish Aston could have done better also.
Alzilla- what the hell went wrong for them(aston) I didn't get to watch as much as I'd have liked...

Does anyone else think it's a mockery of the race/sport when certain cars slow down to let their team mates catch up or pull into the pits for a couple of minutes just to clean off the car so they can have a photo finish? I thought it was cool, yet complete bullshit that all 3 Peugeots crossed the line at the same time.

I watched about 2 hours of the race late last night - around 1:00 am - 3:00 am.
I saw a couple of pretty severe crashes and much of the time I watched was under the safety car. But when they were racing it was absolutely breath taking.
At one point they interviewed a few of the drivers who had just ended their stint. One was a guy who was driving the Corvette that was in the lead. He looks absolutely dead beat! He said that one of their drivers had gotten sick so he had to drive double stints!
I have never watched much of the 24-hours race. But what I watched last night kind of hooked me. I will be following it religiously from now on!!
Great banter thread guys. I am glad that JC919 thought of it and asked me to sticky the thread!

That Risi 430GT is going to be a very expensive collector's car with one Sebring and two Le Mans wins.
At 8:10 this morning I had hit my wall and I just emerged from bed. Going to have trouble getting to bed tonight and my house is pretty trashed. Thanks to everyone for making this an interesting banter thread over the last few weeks. It was an interesting race with a pace and conditions that will be difficult to match in the coming years.
