Anyone that goes to the 24hrs or LMC expecting to sleep is going to the wrong events, my friend.

How the heck are the plateaux supposed to be run, then? As is the cars and drivers in each get the same amount of time for reprep and rest between races. (It wouldn't have taken much research to work out the format and plan accordingly.)

I agree about the Porsche race, but it was a special to celebrate '70 years of Posrsche'. The Jag race presented an opportunity for lots of racers to drive Le Mans in cars that would possibly not get into the main event, and at considerably less cost! They don't get many laps, but have ticked the 'Le Mans' box..... If it was up to me- I'd lose the demos!
