2018 24 Hours of Le Mans


Ran into some cool folks during the pre-race grid walk. Surprised to see Frank Pikul here...he's shaved his mustache. Also said hello to Raj, Chip Ganassi, and Derek Bell.

David Rowan just text me and said the GT Forum Group was at the Hotel resting! He said “Don’t forget LeMans is 23 1/2 Hour Strategy Race and a 30 minutes Of Real Hard Racing”. He’s been there many times,
 
Now that was funny!!! Well done

Super pics Ajai!!! Pikul never looked so good...
 
Loving the behind the pics! Go blue, hanging in there 68. I still don’t understand the bop for Porsche, happy 60th indeed...
 
#68 up to 2nd place...
 
That Piggy Car!!! Time to make some bacon....
 
Things looking up! Sun is about to rise too, good morning 🇫🇷
 
That Piggy Car!!! Time to make some bacon....
So this image flashes into my mind: One pink pig Porsche on top of another one "makin' bacon!"
 
Watching on Velocity Channel. Not the same as in person, but glad I could be there two years ago.
 
All my work in a race simulator really paid off. Got a few hot laps in before race time. Mastered clipping the apexes at the Porsche curves.

Good Move now go get the Pig!
 
3:20 hrs to go. Currently “The Pink Pig” is up 2:30 on the exciting P2 battle between the Rothman’s Porsche and the #68. Those 2 are going back and forth. The Pig’s lead is courtesy of a slow zone yellow or safety car situation that occurred right behind it earlier in the race. Pace between Porsche and Ford dead even.

The Ford Performance web cast is pretty good. All four car webcams and overall standings. No Velocity here in motel.
