Well, there's a good chance I'll be covering it the year after next, so most of the expenses will be covered/tax deductible, it's just the matter of actually getting a free week or two to go to EU. It's top 10 bucket list though, for sure.
There is a good chance I will be able to go to this year's US WEC in Texas though, which will be super awesome. I am totally stoked. But there is nothing like the 24Hr Le Mans as you know.
Really glad that you got to be there. Get some rest and enjoy the rest of your holiday Sir.

A great race overall (I wish Toyota could have won though), sadly Fox and the US Open screwed over the US audience for many parts of the race. Thankfully I was able to change all of my recording schedules but my friend on vacation was not so lucky. He is not going to have the first 2 hours nor the final 2 of the race because of the poor decisions of Fox sports and the US Open.

The only GTE's competitive at Le Mans were the Ford's and Fezza's, Am was at least slightly more fair.

It's one thing to deliberately deceive the rule-makers by sandbagging through every pre-event race or test but then to tell the stewards to penalise the 2nd place car over something so trivial because it dared to keep up with them is beyond bad sportsmanship. Ford may have finished in first place but they are not winners.

fun fact: I never rooted for Toyota and not really going to as I'm somewhat biased against Asian car manufacturers for no rational reason

I hate BOP. And I nominate Toni Vilander for hero of the event, for ordering his team to IGNORE the flags. Risky move, but when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
Shame on you ACO for manufacturing Ford's win through BOP and for even trying to make it a 1-2-3 at the very end. Thankfully someone was clever enough to find an honorable way out of the mess you made of the GTPro class.
Gutted for TOYOTA, I was rooting from them since the start. But you can't blame it on Porsche. They did what they had to do to keep the TOYOTA pushing, and it paid off at the very end (at the end of the 23rd hour, and 23rd is the new 11th as we all know)
