24 Hours of Le Mans

[Adrien C]

As some of you may know, I moved out from Mexico and now live in Le Mans.
Each year, Le Mans has a famous 24 hours endurance race. The 2007 race will be held this week end. The city has been invaded by Brits, Dutch and beautifull cars. They seel beer en every corner for our northen friends.

Today was the parade, every super car was present, lambos, Astons, and even Buggati Veyrons. The pilots were present too, I got a autograph from Sebastien Bourdai ( champ 3 champion and future F1 pilot) he'll race for Peugeot.

This year favourites are last years winers Audi with their diesel car and peugeot with their new 908 car. I'd really like to assist but the tikets are 65 euros...

Hope peugeots wins...

No offence, but French cars suck. Would be cool to have an event like that in my town. =/ Wish I could be there!

As for French cars, the high end models are verry good but the crappy 7000 Euros cars are well.. crappy.

And remember the Veyron is made in France.

I've been downloading an HD torrent from the Le Mans. It looks like footage of really hot looking race cars - close ups video of the cars parked... Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, etc. Drool factor five. in HD, it looks like you are there almost (on a PC monitor). Pretty rare that it's recorded in HD you know?


It looks amazing (watched the short video preview clip) Perfect weather! The video is widescreen and fills the width of a high resolution monitor with eye candy.


It's a 2.4 Gigabyte Torrent file. Any torrent downloader should work.

One of these links should set you up in case anyone is interested. You'll finish downloading it eventually.

I should have it by tomorrow or something.

Torrent (don't even click here if you have dial-up, I suggest photos instead)

Corvette...*gag*.

Anyway, never heard of this, what's the point of it?

"The C6.R was unveiled for its first race at the 2005 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race of the American Le Mans Series. It came in second and third, just behind the new Aston Martin DBR9 racecar. It was put on display a week later at the New York International Auto Show next to the Z06.

Later, in the 2005 24 Hours of Le Mans, it made up for Sebring by placing first and second in the GT1 car class after a lengthy duel with the Aston Martin team's DBR9 racers by finishing 5th and 6th overall, a considerably high finish for a GT1 class car given the extraordinary performance of the Le Mans Prototypes cars (LMP1 and LMP2).

Corvette C6.R went on to win its class at every race it entered in the 2005 ALMS season. It defeated the Aston Martins again at Road Atlanta and at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Olivier Beretta and Oliver Gavin took home the drivers championships.

In 2006 Corvette C6.R won both American Le Mans GT1 Championships: Teams and Manufacturers. On March 17, 2007 it won the GT1 class in the 12 Hours of Sebring.

For Le Mans 2007, there will be four C6.R's on the entry list, as the two Corvette Racing entries will be joined by single entries from the Luc Alphand Aventures and PSI-Motorsport teams.

The heart of the C6.R, its LS7.R motor, was crowned as Global Motorsport Engine of the Year by a jury of 50 race engine engineers on the Professional Motorsport World Expo 2006 in Cologne, Germany . When you consider the breadth of global motorsport and the number of outstanding engines competing on circuits week in and week out, the award becomes even more significant."

You may "*gag*" at it, but that car owns your mother.

Corvette is actually out of the race. Audi is leading.

I find that odd considering that the official lemans website labels the Corvette GT1 team in second place currently...

Audi won again...
