The announcer just called Diesel the "Fuel of Satan".  LOL!

I love watching the sun come up at Le Mans!  Get to see a sunrise twice in one day!  Plus it gives me a little boost of energy . . . at ~12am EST!   ;D

Le Mans is on the bucket list along with the Isle of Man. I can't emphasize how awesome it is to attend a 24 hour endurance race. It is a true event. Watch some racing, go get something to eat. Watch some more racing, drink beers, watch more racing. Get a little sleep, wake up in the middle of the night and stay up until the sun rises. The coolest moment though is sitting around a campfire at 3AM looking up at the stars and hearing the race cars.

Still some good racing remaining!  The P1 and GT-Pro races are fairly close!

Great race. Congrats to Audi Sport. Great to see Nissan go 1 & 2 in LMP2 and to see Corvette take both GT classes.
