    I was in the pits during the night for about 2 hours without a pass and after the practice sessions we went also to the pits and talked with the mechanics.
    but in generell you're rigth, for the pits you need a pass, but luckily on the Ring this is not controlled so much.
    And not to forget that everybody is allowed to go on the starting grid before the race starts :) so you can get very close to the cars and drivers.

    BTW Jim, do you have any plans to bring some of your cars (maybe 0846 or 0854) for display to the Ring this year? Or is this not possible because there's not enough room? We talked about it last year and you said you couldn't get more space back then

    Oh yes, you're right. This is at the Ring. But things are different in Le Mans.

    It just gets too crowded in our pit to bring them.

    I was wondering when we would see pics of 'the pair', nice backdrop too. Then the next post has some action pics.... Jim, is that now what they mean with playing hard? Certainly looks like you're enjoying yourself in there and out there!

    What you really need is a winter-break in South Africa next year, just bring the whole lot ocer and participate in the Springbok-races:)

    Awesome stuff Jim. I assume you were pedalling (?).

    We need details please. Was this a race or just lapping?. Standing start with qualifying? and how did she do?. Not pressuring you for lap times or results as we all understand the need to look after such a great car, I'm more interested in the fun meter type results :).

    Hi

    Yes I was driving "24 Minutes of Daytona" before the 24 Hours. I was having a lot of fun and trying not to do something silly.

    Jesse took this photo in the pits after the 24 Minutes. You can see just how emotional seeing this car is in the faces of the guys standing next to me. One of them told me he had seen her race there 44 years ago...

    Thanks for sharing. This car/model has become one of my top 5 favorite cars and I wasn't even born when it raced.

    Congratulations on Bloomberg.

    they took risk to be as close to each other. because none of the three is out of place compared to the checkered flag


    ils ont prit des risques, pour être aussi près les unes des autres. car aucune des trois n'est à sa place par rapport au drapeau à damiers

    At the end of the long endurance races, in those days, the leaders were more than a few laps ahead. To set up these finishes the leaders backed off and formed up, and the last few laps were basically "motoring" around in more of a parade. I was there and they weren't going that fast at the finish the last couple of laps were just cruising.

    It was kinda nice to savor the finish. Today they often race to the checker, which is more racing, but it doesn't give the driver a few minutes to savor his win.....

    True, True. They still do this at the finish of the 24 Hours of Nurburgring.
