After being sick in bed the whole day yesterday, I just might stay up for the whole 24 hours.

Love this track, too. Spent soooo much time on it in Race Driver: Grid.

    I started at the beginning, but then went to get some food. And then I ended up taking a drive around town. Was gone for like an hr.

    I feel like when I left it was a safety car. And then when I got back it was a safety car. Not sure if the same one or not.

    I don’t know all the rules with WEC and endurance racing, but why is this safety car so long? Just because it’s wet? They have wet tires don’t they? Or are they still on slicks?

      I fell asleep just during that time and looking at Twitter, missed the best parts :'(

      I heard the commentors say they were repairing a barrier, I guess that’s what the SC was for, but I can’t be sure.

        Raining again. It’s like an ice rink out there right now.

        And just as I was going to take a nap…

    I usually give it a watch here and there during the 24hrs. My favourite race is the GT Challenge EU Spa 24. The past couple of years, 1st and 2nd place have been finishing within seconds of eachother.

    Edit; it’s amazing watching a NASCAR roaring through Le Mans!

      I’m running !formuladank@lemmy.world myself.

      No, this is Le Mans, a thing of its own, albeit also a part of WEC, European 24H series and the Le Mans Cup I guess. The most gorgeous cars on the planet and none of the F1 reality show drama.

    I’m not actively watching but it’s on the tv and I look at it every once in a while. Now that the rain is starting again I might have to watch a bit.

      Despite me thinking I’ll stay up, I went napping 2 hours into the race and missed the best part.

      I can hardly blame myself since those 2 hours were all just safety cars and long yellows, but still… Shit.
