No . Better watch it on TV , so you're not obligated to see it all if it gets boring .

Maybe I'll visit the 24h of Spa Francorchamps and/or the 24h of Zolder.

never been boring at either race and ususaly meet up with old friends andn you get to know some of the teams, have had a coke with frank biela and andy wallace before. One of the teams in germany stay in the guest house we use so theres lot to talk about over a beer or seven. Had also had beer with the mechanics from sekal motorsport in the hotel car park, boy can those guys drink

Aww, you're very lucky, i wish i could go there, it should be very fun and exciting to watch. Over here we don't have much 24hr races, there is a Bathurst 24hr i think but i'm not really sure. Just make sure you take some pictures when you're there!

Cheeky, why are you not going?

leka-S; you are so wrong. Watching TV, you might sleep through good stuff.

I checked only a few pages; but what great old-school race pics! I'm sure the Ferrlighini fanboys got lizard-eyed before a whole page, but I like them. A few comments:

#8 What the hell is it? Ford? Fiat?
#13 A BMW '02, a Renault R8(looks like a bath toy)?, R11?, and no idea...!
#23 MB 450 SLC GT = LMAO!
#28 Classic Ford Capri II.
#30 Gotta have a Mustang!
#35 Classic Bertone bodied Alfa Giulia/GT.
#52 Bad E30 M3. How could you say no?
#61 Not looking good for the E12...

I said on another thread that the 'Ring 24 was "diverse."
