Well...🤬.
What a disappointing LeMans for me, personally.
A) Ended up going to a family event on Saturday, leaving precisely when the race began...no worries, I had the first five hours set to record, so I could catch up. Come home...two and a half hours of :censored:ing golf.
B) I watch the stream for a while and as I'm falling asleep, remind myself "no big deal, I have the last seven hours set to record, surely it'll be fine this time...". Wake up...watch until they cut the end of the god damn race two hours prior to finish. Well...too late.
So, besides Fox Sports being the worst broadcast company in history...the Toyota issue was heartbreaking. I've always been an Audi fan (nice to see Wolfgang continue to be such a damn genuinely good dude) so I was a little disinterested in the Porsche/Toyota run --- but terrible for them.
The Ford victory definitely feels pretty hollow to me. The technical achievement for me is a bit marred by a vastly advantageous car backed up by loads of money, a four car effort and sandbagging. I'm glad the Ferrari stayed out but there wasn't much "race" in GT Pro outside of the single Ferrari which made for a very shallow feeling victory to me. Chip Ganassi has always been a win-at-all-costs kind of guy, but it would have been nice to see him tell the ACO to ignore the position lights on the Ferrari and just let them race. But, it's Chip. Never gonna happen. It had too much of a propaganda stunt feel for me to really embrace it.
Overall just a crap weekend for me. I'm curious if Audi will continue on (every year I wonder if they'll continue to compete) this could be the perfect time/excuse for them to move to something else.
