What a race !!!!!!! I watch it every year and I actually stay up all night to watch it run live. This years battle between Audi and Toyota was closer than I think many thought, including Audi. The GT class as always , was great to watch since its all production based and we can see our favorite super cars going all out in a battle against one another . All in all it was a great race although there was a fatality. During the 4th lap of the race 34 year old driver on the Aston Martin team had a fatal accident when he exited a corner and hit the rumble strip and dropped a tire. The tire that dropped literally steered the car right in the wall at his exit speed.

Just wanted to see if anyone else was watching and loving it as much as me.


Great race, great cars, awesome technology, and amazing team work all mixed with a grueling 24 hours of endurance racing

Didn't watch it but caught the Aston accident :/

 

what was nuts is that it didnt look that bad. I have seen cars burst into pieces as the cart wheel down the track and the drivers escapes with no injury. Odd that he died but in the end you never know what the impact did to him. Sad he was only 34 and had kids
