WTH, is with that rule about "You can't spin the tires leaving the pits, or it's a 3min stop-n-go penalty?"
That's just nuts

Tell me about it, what is the world coming to when you can't spin tires at a motorsports race and the leading car(s) are turbo diesels and you can't even hear them coming!!!!!!!
AHHHH YES, how times change

Man, whose smart idea was it to hold the Zurich 24 Hours @ the Nurburgring Nordischliefe and Le Mans on the same weekend? There happens to be another Subaru team this year, with Chris Atkinson being the contributing SWRT driver.

oh boy... Le Mans is being shown on speed.. the ONLY other auto racing event other than NASCAR versions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
I love Le Mans, but Speed channel never shows the field of cars, only the from 3 or 5 drivers. I watched it once and only saw 6 cars for an entire 30 minutes.. (felt like I was back at the F1 race in Indy)

Speed having testicle difficulties - they have VERY poor audio right now with NO video. Supposedly bad weather right now, not sure if they had a lighting strike or something.
Either way, it sounds like AM radio quality and a frozen splash screen.

Speed isn't in charge of the coverage. They're capturing the feed from a certain production crew, and dubbing in their own commentary, much like they do for F1. As far as I know, David Hobbes, Bob Varsha, et al, are at the SpeedTV studios in Charlotte.

Loeb's putting in some pretty impressive times while running in second. 3:42's.
Lammers is hanging on to 3rd. If it wasn't for those two extra stops it would be a great battle for second.
#8 Audi is walking away, 4 laps up so far doing 3:35's.

#17 (Loeb) is now down to less than a lap - thanks to a tranny problem on the #8 ;-)

This is the longest period of continuous coverage that I recall Speed doing. 14 1/2 hours (!!!) straight this stint, all the way to the podium celebration

Did the Prodrive cars break yet?

Just to balance out the complaints, THANK YOU SPEED for showing 20 out of 24 hours of Le Mans, something nobody else has ever done. Is there more complete coverage anywhere else in the world? I really have to wonder.
Great race, I watch a lot of it and left it on while I slept on Sat night.
Audi did a great job with the TDI, I really hope they can apply what they learn to the street cars. That said, I'd much rather see Pescorlo get a win, he really deserves it.
Great to see such an exotic mix of machinery, I wish they could be more of these cars over for the ALMS races and Sebring.
The lower classes were great, too bad for the Aston, but the Vette is hard to beat. Great to see Luc Alfan doing well in the 2004 car too, how cool is he? World class skier, Darak winner, Le Mans driver. Damn I'm jealous.
