24 Heures du Mans | +00:37:00
Victory for Audi. Deutschland über Alles. Heartbreak for Peugeot, & looks of such devastation on their faces that my heart goes out to them. Vive la France! Victory for Chevrolet in both G.T.E. classes, the factory Corvette Racing squad in Pro. & a privateer Corvette in Am. America, fuck yeah! A grand achievement in the 100th anniversary year of Chevrolet.

I'm going to steal another quick nap, but first I'd like to leave you with a bit of wisdom from The Guy, reflecting on the glory that is Le Mans: "I love that finishing is an achievement." The 24 Heures du Mans is the most grueling auto race in the world entire. It is the grand prix of endurance. "By endurance we conquer." Finishing is indeed an achievement.
