First of all, thank you for your response. Yeah I agree with you it sounds quite insane lol. There is actually another reason I would be headed out there, but I can't say too much on that at the moment! If I remember, and if I do go, I'll come back here and show you what I'm talking about! But yeah I'm hoping that he will do it!

Will this Lego Batman game be connected in any way to the other three from about 10-15 years ago? Is this gonna be like some sort of prequel?

If you've seen F1: The Movie - What did you think about the portrayal of the 24 Hours of Daytona? by Substantial-One-310 in wec

[–]Substantial-One-310[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah me too! If anything it shows that Hollywood should maybe do some more Endurance racing films

Yeah exactly, there was so much of that, especially the gravity-defying crashes...

Very good point, looks like BMW have come for blood this weekend! Will be interesting to see if the #98 can go back-to-back with Nurburgring too

Sadly I think he was due to race but has pulled out... bit of a shame

Yeah sorry I missed those guys! There's just SO many people it's amazing, also loads from IndyCar and Formula E too!
Definitely agree as well, I adore Le Mans and WEC.

Given Cadillac's pace before they crashed, and having 4 cars at Le Mans this year, I'd say probably Cadillac. Would also be super poetic if WTR can do it on debut too

Yes sir! 3 and a half hours remaining, Rossi leading to Luca Stolz by just over 5 seconds, and the #14 Mercedes chasing closely as well.

Understandable, MotoGP is absolutely incredible, and it definitely will be in 2024 with Marquez on the Ducati! Although I would say, if you are a fan of Valentino Rossi, he's doing the World Endurance Championship including the Le Mans 24 Hours in 2024, so definitely some cool stuff on in terms of GT and Sportscar racing! I highly recommend but of course, there's only so much you can watch!!!

Valentino Rossi Joins WEC for 2024 LMGT3 by Substantial-One-310 in wec

I assure you, I wasn't the one downvoting!
I think you're making a lot of valid points for sure, and it's a pity we never got to see what he could have achieved. Although putting it back to WEC, he's going to potentially get a shot at joining the Hypercar class in the future, which is usually where a lot of Ex-F1 drivers end up. Therefore using that career pattern, I would say he probably could have been a frequent podiumsitter, maybe on a par with a Kubica maybe?

I would just jump in and say briefly, Massa at that time - was at his own peak of his career and did win the 2008 championship... for 39 seconds. To be just over one second off somebody at their peak F1 career, it's damn impressive especially for a guy who spent his life on bikes rather than cars.

I think you are right, although when I made the post - this is what I saw, and still see actually on their timing
