I am kinda rooting for Flying Lizard, and with Seth driving a GTE Am car, they might have a chance at the victory, but their luck has not been the best this season...

Daytona

Sebring

Long Beach...

If you get tired of the Speed broadcast, Audi is promoting themselves in a rather expensive way by hosting a live feed of their in-car footage.

I want their web budget. Just for a little while.

ROLEX IS MUCH BETTER! The crowds are better at Rolex! Much better car turn out at Rolex! Continental Challenge is THE best racing in the world!

Sorry just had to regurgitate the pablum that's been spewed out when anyone mentions ALMS or the 24 hours.

I can't wait cause, while I don't dislike Rolex or Conti, I prefer the LMS series.

Gonna have to try me out some in car Audi coverage on the web.

I don't really prefer Le Mans over Rolex, but Rolex is only a 10 hour drive from me, while Le Mans is too expensive...

Loving the live feeds, hopefully they keep them going through the rest of qualifications. By the way, the official schedule lists qualifying as tonight, tomorrow evening and tomorrow night, as three separate sessions. How does this work? I know qualifying here is basically for shakedown and bragging rights, as its a long long race, but what is the deal, do they take the best time from any of the three sessions, or is it somehow combined or averaged?

Fastest time over the 3 sessions takes pole. You could go out there and set pole on your second lap in Q1 and park it in the garage until Saturday.

It would be pretty cool if they took the sum of of the fastest lap from each qually.

LeMans

Isle of Man TT

Baja 1000

To me, these are the coolest races in the world.

So, Audi has the speed to qualify pole and second pole. Do they have the reliability to make it to the end in the lead?

TK could take a 9th win this year... Ga Dansk!

Yeah, I bet that part of the track changes a LOT before next years race. That could have been as bad as the Jag wreck over 40 years ago.

Sad to see some of the best drivers out so early in the race. Of course being an Audi guy made it hurt even worse. Amazing to see him get out and walk away.

Incredibly optimistic attempt by McNish there. Especially for not even an hour into the race.

Two more reasons to hate Ferrari! berkeleying shiny happy people! They took out Bergmeister yesterday and McNish today. Down with Ferrari!

Somebody took this with their phone pointed at the tv, but still good enough quality to tell what happened.

Certainly wasn't the Ferrari drivers fault there.

The car was very close to going over the tire wall. Some very fortunate officials and photogs.

In reply to racerfink:

Sounds like McNish is taking the blame. Kind of a shocking late move on his part- very unlike him as an endurance driver... SO glad he's ok. That was pretty amazing in the ferocity of the destruction.
