As the wife and the kids are out this afternoon, I decided tio treat myself and imerge in the Le Mans ambiance ; I BBQ some chiken wings - the weather is wonderful right now - and watch the tape of the 2000' race I recorded on TV, as it was live (much more fun than the usual summary they sale).
The start and the first hours is quite exciting, as the Panoz was able to follow the Audis, and we don't know yet if the Audis are able to hold 24 hours... quite good, and wonderful cars on the grid, including some that are gone now : Panozes, Cadillacs, Vipers...
Good fight between the SMG Courage, the Johansonn Reynard and the second Panoz... Judd engines were fragile those days...
And what a dogfight with the Vipers and the Corvettes ! I forgot that !
