24 HEURES DU MANS | 02:43:00

I revel in this race! So much time has passed that the temptation to think "It's almost over" doesn't even seem like a temptation to be resisted, merely a statement of the obvious. But the time that remains in the race exceeds the length of any Formula One grand prix, exceeds the length of most I.M.S.A. races, endures the length of any IndyCar race save the Indianapolis 500 (or any similar five-hundred-mile oval race). The teams have been through so much already, this journey through a day, the night, & another day has already been so long, but a whole race is left yet to run.

Le Mans! Le Mans! Le Mans!
