Might as well make a thread. Probably not a lot of overlap between car racing and lemmy i guess but i’m sure there’s some people out there who like car racing (still on that fuckcars bandwagon though, cities should not be reliant on cars).

Interestingly, there’s an unofficial yet tolerated i guess youtube stream of it (linked). Anyways its my first time watching (I’ve always been interested in the race, just never got round to watching) it’s pretty interesting so far even if i don’t know a lot of the teams/drivers.

Also, they, for the first time, have a literal nascar (heavy, no aerodynamics at all, designed to go in a circle) running alongside LMP (Le Mans Prototypes, cars literally designed for running 24 hours of this circuit, running centimeters off the ground, extreme amount of downforce so they speed around corners). Just completely different cars in the same race lol

Also its raining right now so watch, already getting spicy.

Edit: 3 cars in a row just spun out and crashed (at low speed, total aquaplane)
