Kinda obvious, but I'll change it nonetheless.

I wonder why they brought the Stig along this time? Do you think it's because they want to try and win and give James as little of the driving as possible?

IceBone · August 23rd, 2007, 02:18 PM

Or maybe cause it's a 24 hour endurance race and 6 hours per driver is a lot less stressful than 8. images/smilies/wink.gif

REALLY looking forward to this one. It's gonna be great!!!

Will it be televised?? images/smilies/smile.gif

Donington · August 23rd, 2007, 02:19 PM

I'm certainly going!
I saw Britcar at Castle Combe earlier this year, awesome series with DTM, V8star, Le Mans, BTCC and modified road cars all racing each other.

It was televised last year, Icebone, so it might be this year too, depends what channels you get.

IceBone · August 23rd, 2007, 02:22 PM

None british, so i'll have to rely on web casts and/or rips.

But a 24 hour rip will be over 11 gigs. D:

Weren't they growing their own petrol/diesel as of last season? *hint*hint*

Do Radio LeMans cover it? And is it streamed anywhere?

Yeah, bringing it up again for those to all think about it..

But during the season they mentioned it would be "delicious petrol". Mistaken?

Edit; 59:37 on the VUk Rip @ 09x05

Adunaphel · August 23rd, 2007, 03:06 PM

they grew rapeseed, which can be used to make Biodiesel.

watto · August 23rd, 2007, 04:00 PM

BRILLIANT!!

GraemeH · August 23rd, 2007, 04:54 PM

Damn, I might try to get a little trip down to this if it isn't too late images/smilies/smile.gif

WirelessMonkey · August 23rd, 2007, 05:00 PM

Mopar Man · August 23rd, 2007, 06:50 PM

Fifth gear should be in there too, a battle of the gears! I'd be rooting for TG of course!

Peter3hg · August 23rd, 2007, 06:51 PM

Damn, I am away for those dates. What a bastard.

Yes Hindy will be there and there should be live timing too. You can still download last years event. There will mentions and previews on Globecast. Listen to Midweek Motorsport on Wednesday's or subscribe to the podcast which they eventually put up. Send in questions to ask Jezza at 3am in the morning images/smilies/tongue.gif

While I think of it, worth checking out the LeMans start on the Radio LeMans site images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Steve Levin · August 23rd, 2007, 07:33 PM

It's almost interesting enough for me to fly over and watch...but I dunno on this little notice.
