The ability to hear if something is wrong will always be one of the things that make attending a race better than TV converage, I remember the year of the Toyota at Le mans so vividly, it seemed to be unstopable and then it came pat us at arnarge limping pitifully and making a noise that to me sounded like the cries of a wounded animal. All of those people standing between indianapollis and arnarge knew the toyota dream was over, long before the Radio or TV had reported anything. After 23 hours of listening to the cars going past you any changes in engine note or exaust are quickly picked up long before changes in lap times are noticed.
