24 Heures du Mans 2017

Front wing?

Oh, got it. Just remembered what "wings" are across the pond thanks to "Wheeler Dealers"... (Fenders to us 'Muricans.... )

 

yes! the Porsche just sounds wicked!!

 

Dang. Whenever I'm watchin races and where it's available I like to watch live T&S to see who's runnin' where and at what speeds that aren't bein' shown or announced. Fer some reason, I can't git any of what I've used to work. Great time for comp letdown. Sheesh.

 

If it somehow started raining right now, the first of the Vaillantes would be a contender for overall victory.

 

Porsche's mid-engined piece of crap has to be the ugliest car to have ever raced at Le Mans. It looks morbidly obese.

 

So the WEC app keeps freezing after about 10 minutes so I gave the FOX app a try. What's awesome is when they go to commercial they play the world feed with no commentary and you get all the engine sounds. I wish you could select that the entire time haha.

Wec's stream is down and even my own Eurosport is down.

I thought it was just me. I was getting super annoyed with it.

 

Okay.

(btw, what are Vaillantes?)

 

That mid-engined RSR looks like a pregnant whale. Toyota's mechanics will try and harpoon it before the race is over.

 

I think it's time for the aluminum foil hat.....

 

While it's annoying to have to use an app, with a Roku box or AppleTV, it's not too bad. The App works well, and, yes, commentary-less car noise FTW!!

GARRA used to do that. BORING!!! 'Can't at least stick a mike out the window for atmosphere???

 

So you keep saying, although it has exactly the same body as a rear engine one .

 

Heh-heh. 'Just what I wuz t'inkin'....

(I left it alone 'cause I git in enuff trouble around here already for my wisecracks.... )

 

The rear diffuser looks different to me. This is the most boring 24 Hours I have ever watched. I will read about it on Monday instead.

 

A real fan.
A sign of the times, I'm afraid.
I hold my breath for the 24 hours as I know what can/does happen. (Is 365 days ago already forgotten??? Apparently.... )

(There...I did it again. Bring on the tongue lashings. I can take it. )

 

Rolled my ankle playing tennis this morning. Guess I will have to rest it...on the couch..with Le Man's on...darn..

 

What, and such, a shame.

Good man !!!

'Just need some Taco Viva.....

No! Wait! Better yet! A sack full of White Castles!!!

This is the first I think we've agreed 100% on something. I watch almost every minute. Though I've been known to pass out from 2-4am est. lol
