How about 10hrs on back to back weekends at Monza in July, ELMS July 3, WEC July 10?I want an extra 12 hours added.
30 minutes to go.
LMP car crashed it out.Can't believe both Corvettes are out. WTH happened while I was asleep? One was in the class lead with the other around 5th or 6th. I wake up, bring up the race, and they're both retired.
I was really hoping for a strong finish in this one. I've pulled for the Corvettes ever since they got back into racing in the 90s. I got to see them live at a couple ALMS races in Portland, OR. I got to meet Kelly Collins and Andy Pilgrim (very nice guys, btw) a couple times and they were always grateful to sign autographs or just talk with fans. I got some up-close pics of the Corvettes sitting in the paddock. It was a really cool experience. They were almost unbeatable back then. But win or lose, I kept pulling for them.
But this race was a heart breaker with having neither of them finishing. I know in this race it's never guaranteed that any car will finish the race, but it just feels wrong not having a Corvette at the finish.
The team couldn't take it that you'd rather sleep than watch. They gave up. It's on you personally.Can't believe both Corvettes are out. WTH happened while I was asleep? One was in the class lead with the other around 5th or 6th. I wake up, bring up the race, and they're both retired.

Same here. The past several years have been hard to watch.Hopefully next year provides more excitement with more manufacturers to challenge Toyota on (hopefully) equal footing.
