Anime Store Adventure posted:I went to the start of the race and it kicks rear end. If you ever get a chance and haven’t definitely try to get to a track. It’s loud as hell and smells like poo poo and is exciting the whole time. the start of le mans when I went was a banger. They timed also sprach zarathustra so the climax hit and was then overtaken by the sound of engines as the cars took the green flag

pretty reasonable to do that, but the tram to the track will be rammed

the trains aren't too bad to get there, though the one out of paris to le mans can be real busy. and pray for no strikes

I love endurance racing. Just had a discussion on cordless v pneumatic tools in the pit lane, now onto advances in lighting technology. Gotta say non-led lights made for better scenes on tv, or at least I may be misremembering that way.

Yikes. Really want to see the onboard from the porsche on that one. Just seen the full speed video in the F1 thread though. The nurburgring onboards are always wild to see at night

BlankSystemDaemon posted:Also, here's a somewhat interesting fact: Jammerbugten is named that because back in the day, when storms would rage because they'd be pushed down here by the Norwegian coast (which still happens regularly today, and is why it's one of the windiest parts in Denmark), people on the beach would light fires to lure in ships. This is a story I've heard about several coastal places

Grimson posted:if they call a safety car you can safely do something else for an hour btw Like 12? Years ago I remember being absolutely transfixed by 2 hours of safety car coverage. Endurance commentators do such a good job of keeping things interesting even when nothing is going on

SlowBloke posted:If you run late on train 1 on a specific station, people think/believe that train 2 will also be so they can compensate and still get on it. Even with 40+ minutes to spare in between the official times, i still managed to lose the follow up train on the first leg of the journey to France. It seems like there is some weird poo poo going on in the south of France up to Lyon. Trenitalia and Inoui went to 50-70 km/h on areas you usually go to 120-150. Ohhhh I thought you were saying SNCF trains are on time, which, lol

Like all niche motorsports this is probably dominated by one person every race but I want to watch it anyway
