Deep down I am hoping the Ferrari's win. The Vette crowd will become intolerable if they pull off a win. The last I checked Ferrari was up by only 3 laps.



Audi is way out in front as usual in LMP1.



There have been a ton of accidents lots of cars hitting each other. This has to be the most sloppy 24 I can remember lots and lots of driver error and they havent even hit the 1/2 way mark.

Boooooooo.



It's like rooting for the Yankees.

Well Audi took the whole thing.....finished 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

dvls-7 06-13-2004 09:33 AM

Also....be prepared for the gloating from the Chevy guys.....Corvette won their class.

Dysfnctnl85 06-13-2004 06:47 PM

Maybe rotaries will be added into the fold again with the new rules announcement this week...

Turbomark7 06-13-2004 06:49 PM

Corvette needed the win. Audi, will they ever stop winning? Go VW. Beat the French, the Japanese, and the Italian marques. Go VW.



However, I am sick of M. Schumacher, all of NASCAR, and the NHRA. Go SPEED World Challenge.

Dysfnctnl85 06-13-2004 06:50 PM

Does Shumacher have the Championship locked up yet? LOL.

Turbomark7 06-13-2004 06:54 PM

Yeah, he did after the first round of pit stops - arrrgh. He's just too damned good. He needs to go to NASCAR and teach dem good ol' boys a lesson or two.

Bump



I went there with 10 other guys, best racing event I have ever been to.

You gotta promise yourself to go atleast once in your life.

Looks and sounds really good. Need to work on the cam work though, little bit shaky.j/k.



Thanks for the footage, maybe I will start watching Le Mans now. I just have to figure out the P1,P2,GT1,and GT2 settings. They confuse me.

I'll post some more tonight. Since I was right across from the pits, I had the opportunity to get some footage of it and bouncing off the insanely high rev limiter.



You can find some good info here.

Thanks for the vid and info, I've got the vid continously looping in the background.

I'm having a small problem with codecs but *should* have the rest of my video up tonight.

Dysfnctnl85 04-19-2005 07:04 PM

Okay I've discovered Sorenson Squeeze and it's amazing.



You'll need Quicktime to view these files, but it's worth it...here's a quick flyby. More later tonight.
