Conti cars are so fast. Hell of a race.

Someone forgot to geoblock the stream on imsa.com so you can watch commercial free with radio le mans commentary.

So far its going like a sprint race. Exciting racing for sure. It was nice to see the NSX leading its class for a bit. Hopefully they last the distance and finish on the podium.

Fantastic finish. I was rooting for the Wayne Taylor racing and while the pass for the lead was debatable, props to the Taylor twins, Jeff Gordon and what a way for Max Angelelli to end his racing career.

As always this was a great race to watch. Congrats to the #66 Ford GT as well for winning their class. NSX finished a respectable 5th, but I can't help but feel bad for the Lexus guys. Porsche and Audi were good but that was expected. What surprised me was how well Mercedes played and how well they finished.

Thanks again to AE_Racer for starting this thread up. Now I'm looking forward to the 12 Hours
