Watching paint dry is more interesting than car racing. I have wasted so much of my life, and money.
I have HBO max, the only streaming service we currently pay for, so I took a look. It seems to be raining, how does this affect things?
Anyway appears it will be finished around 10AM Eastern tomorrow, so if I am around I may watch the end, see what I learn?

~Five hours to go, and the sense of urgency grows as the margin for error shrinks. The safety car period was painful, and hopefully the rain forecost for around noon will prove false.
Thank goodness they made the deal with Max this year and spared us from having to watch Motor Trend, with its commercials.
Sports car racing is the only category that still evokes any sort of romance for me. And it's the ultimate expression of a team sport in motorsport, with multiple drivers per car, many of whom race in multiple series, or disciplines. Racers.
But it's also the most cyclical category, and the reliance on the volatile OEMs makes the fallow periods that inevitable appear hard to endure.

Oh yeah. I do. Also enjoyed a few movies about it. Steve McQueen's LeMans and James Garner in GranPrix were very well made stories to bring out what those types of racing are all about. One has to be a real fan though to sit thru the much too long LeMans film. GranPrix is a much more viewer friendly film with a good story line behind the racing. Both actors actually did lots of the driving fimed for the movie and raced part time.
Dicky Smothers was also a very good part time racer as well as a funny comedian.

The two brothers also sponsored a real good drag racing team for many years. He may have done some drag strip driving too?
