24 Hours of Le Mans

This week is the 2009 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Yesterday was the scrutineering process, tomorrow is the 6 hour open practice section, Thursday is qualifying, Friday is the drivers parade through the town of La Sarthe, and Saturday at 4PM is the start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It is the biggest sports car race in the world and one of the most prestigious races in the world. I'll definitely be watching it for most of the 24 hours between Speed TV and online.If anyone is interested more about the race or endurance cars you can download Truth in 24 for free on iTunes. It is a documentary about Team Audi at Le Mans last year. A must see and you don't need to know much about sports car racing to watch it. Everything is explained. Here are some pictures of Le Mans runners over the years. The pictures are of slot cars and are graphically altered. Enjoy and go Corvette and Audi.
