I just can't help myself... I as a self proclaimed motorsport luver.. I shall not miss this EPIC event of endurance...
Compare this to anything, Anything, it won't have the history as much 24 Heures De LeMans. In English, its 24 Hours of LeMans.
Yes, you read it right. 24 Hours of racing. 24 HOURS OF NON-STOP RACING IN EXCESS OF 220 MPH !!
These cars are just plain crazy.. Some of the cars in LeMans have an unspeakable amount of horsepower in them. The fastest car I known in LeMans was the Porsche 917, rumoured to have gone more than 270 MPH in the Mulsanne Straight. The blue car you see is the Almighty Porsche 917. AND THAT WAS MADE IN THE 80'S FOR GOD'S SAKE !!!!
The 24 Heures De LeMans is currently at the Circuit de la Sarthe. Circuit de la Sarthe is more than 13km long. One of the longest circuits in the long for sure. Most of the year the circuit is a normal road used by road users but on the second week of June, this road will be savaged by 220 MPHs beasts for a straight 24 hours.
By the way, I think this is a good thing for lazy people in LeMans 24 Hours, 85% of the race is full-throttle. So, that's like what? 20 Hours with your foot down to the floor at more than 220 MPH ? And doing it in the night? With the longest straights in motorsports' history? What?! With 50 cars at the start of the race ?
No wonder this race is epic
