    Hey it's Jake! I have that dude's likeness all over my house, including on my in-ear monitors !

    I always liked going to Mid-Ohio during the ALMS years. The C5r and later the C6r's would actually shake the ground on the grassy mounds around the track. Low tech, maybe, but I like my race cars loud and thunderous, and a small block V8 fits that bill perfectly.:Thumbsup:

    Took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out what they're spelling out here. The caption was "USA! USA! USA!"

    wow, that C7 is incredible.

    I am saving my pennies for when the C7 Z06 debuts....that car is going to cost some coin, but I might not be able to resist...

    From Audi:

    They're working feverishly to get the new chassis ready for the imminent qualifying session.

    Well, the taunting Audi in the video was the #1... :D

    There's been a lot of carnage so far, not to just the Audis. Here's an example that includes the recent damage the the new #1 Audi:

    It's just qualifying! There's a 24 hour enduro to come, save it for the race. I guess bragging rights are on the line.

    Great throw-down. Porsche's response will be at the track.

    They don't make it easy to watch the entire Le Mans 24H, at least not in the US. I've no idea what the coverage is like elsewhere.

    Here is an excellent helper (thanks for the tip, Nathan):

    2014 24 Hours of Le Mans Couch Kit: Streaming, All The Good Stuff (reillybrennan.com)
    He also provides links for radio and video streaming and other useful info on the major rules/regulations changes, etc; full 'couch kit' available here.

    Like it or not, there's one of these again this year. Of course, Nissan would be quick to point out that this isn't Deltawing 2, that it might look similar but it's a completely different vehicle. All new under the skin including all new running gear, just a familiar shape.
