Never saw Le Mans? Really? I've followed Group 6, Group 5, IMSA GTP, Group C, WSC, (Why do they keep changing the names?) since Ford unveiled the first GT40. I love 'em. Ferrari Dominated this class in the late '50s and early '60s, and had moments in the '70s and '90s.

LeMans is normally the same weekend as the Canadian GP, so that's where my attention is sportswise.  I can't really dedicate a day to watching a race though.

My history with LeMans is very similar to Lonny's. I've missed much of it for the past several years because the AMVETS State Convention here in Ohio was the same week-end. This year they moved the Convention back a week.  :yahoo:

One year I followed it on twitter while I was working at the hotel.  It turned out to be more fun than I thought because people would post replays all the time, so I think I ended up watching most of the action but didn't have to dedicate too much screen time.

I will watch as much of the race as my router allows (it seems to not like being on the internet for more than about 8 hours at a time, these days). If the weather is bad, I may even get to watch the last bit at my parents' house and see video for a change.

Perhaps, in combination with a more coherent video strategy, Ferrari + WEC could be a winner. (I'd like to see a "segmented race replay" put on free-to-air/high-reach channels, where the 6-hour races were split into 6 1-hour pieces and shown in the same timeslot each evening across a week - perhaps a few weeks/months later, when casual viewers have forgotten who the news stated had won the race and devoted fans don't have any other races to watch. The Le Mans could be shown in the same style across 4 weeks, maybe during the winter. Anyone wanting to follow along live would still need to get pay TV or (free) Radio Le Mans).

Also, I'll be cheering on Ferrari. Forza Fisico in the #54 GTE-Am Spirit of Race car!
