I really am hopeful of racing series having full archives of TV broadcasts going back decades at some point. Mainly because I want to throw away my DVD collection.


(MotoGP has it going back since the 90s but some of the races are in awful sub-Youtube quality)

I'd pay lots of money for a streaming F1 service with access to old races.

Put together a WEC preseason post for Ars since the LMP1s have all been unveiled now: http://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/03/2016s-wec-hybrids-this-years-coolest-racing-cars-take-to-the-track/

The changes to the R18 sound really interesting with them switching to a battery system.

I need to put some effort into watching WEC this year.

The other big 24 hour race coming up, the 24 Hours of Spa looks like it's gonna be cool too, Blancpain just announced they're reviving the N class, which means we'll have Super Trofeo and Ferrari Challenge drivers in the race for maximum hilarity.

lol I can't wait to see all the Ferrari Challenged Driver carnage.

Le Mans plans:

Getting the streaming package, bbqing, adult libations, having some buddies over.

Going to set my sim rig up for people to do La Mans laps too.

Gunna be a good day I think.

Also Baku started right as Le Mans finished.

The only thing bernie did was prevent someone like Hulkenberg getting more coverage than the F1 race...not realizing that was actually advertising as wel...

Old media moguls need to step the gently caress out of the way, or die.

Somewhere Toyata dies, Porsche cheers, Ford and Ferrari trade penalties to see who wins, but mighty Fox Sports struck out. You go to sleep, having set the dvr, because you want to watch the whole race in the proper order...and Fox Sports decided to show golf for the last two hours, unannounced. Ruined the greatest finish in Le Mans history. It was Heidi all over again.

Most painful if you wanted a Toyota win! But Ford won, so it balances out.

Wow, so every Mercedes failed inspection after qualifying and they've been given a 5 minute stop/go penalty that must be taken under green. So of course as soon as they all come in a Ferrari bins it into the gravel and we get a full course yellow so they're all in the pits serving an extended penalty.

Of course Ferrari wrecked!

Any idea what the mercs failed on?
