    I'd rather have a Ferrari but I can afford a Ford. Ford couldn't beat Ferrari so I bought a Chevy.

    Attended LeMans in 1971...pit pass and a carnival in the infield. What an adventure for a 19 year old kid. I’ll never forget how everyone turned their heads when the vetoes pulled into the Pitts. Everyone turned their heads....of course they didn’t last 12 hours.
    Quite a summer, spent 10 days in Paris, except LeMans and didn’t see a museum....did see a lot of sights though. :p

    LeMans gets the publicity, but for an intense driving challenge, it doesn't come close to Nurburgring, which is next week. Here's a lap on the cross country section - for the 24H they use this part and the grand prix circuit combined, for about 8 and a half minute laps.

    It would be fun to do a few laps on that track in a Porshe or Ferrari.

    So go do it.

    On public driving days, anything street legal is allowed on the track, and they do not take responsibility if you wreck it.

    What's that speed translated to miles per hour?
