Should be streamed at below link, race starts Saturday morning European time:

Even if not a fan, still interesting to watch the effort throughout the night.
Many common car features came out of endurance racing, historically.

EDIT: Note that there are no hypercars and hybrids entries (wait for Le Mans in Sept.), but still a nice way to see 91s, Mercedes AMGs, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Audi R8s, a single Bentley and Aston Martin, some McLarens, BMWs. I think I got it all :D

I must say, even though the Audi sedans are known to annoying and costly failures, if Santa would bring me an R8 I would gladly take it! I see one driven often near me, and I nearly always jump in my seat when it shows up around the corner! Plus it is not a "monster" like a Lamborghini or McLaren, you can park at the supermarket without a crowd around the car.
The other farm cats didn’t super love him but the chickens thought he was alright so he became a chicken.

The British female grid reporters a re so on, it is fun to see them get drivers to open up!


F1: getting a bit bored or jaded, losing interest even though i love following the young ones there - eliminate LH, MV, VB and let's race! We keep SV because he is a real person with a soul.

Hope you watched the Hungarian GP today! The wildest one in years!
At one point Hamilton was in last place with Verstappen only a place or two ahead of him!

And Ocon won!!!!!
