Next year, the good Lord willing, I'm not going to let church commitments keep me out of the house on Saturday morning, serene in the horribly mistaken hope that the devious tricksters at Fox Sports are true to their word. I'm going to cast a jaundiced eye at American television. I will be on-station before 9:00 A.M., awake & alert, prepared to spend the whole of the next day—with perhaps a few brief stints spent away in front of Philo Farnsworth's greatest invention—hunkered in front of my Macintosh clinging to Radio Le Mans. (I'm presenting listening to the YouTube "Studio Vision" feed, rather than listening to the streaming radio feed.) "This is classic, classic Le Mans…"
In L.M.P.1, the № 6 Toyota still leads from the № 2 Porsche, but the sole competitive Porsche appears to be slowly reeling in the leading Toyota, while the hopelessly-far-behind № 1 Porsche is engaging in psychological warfare via the radio. The № 5 Toyota runs in third, still on the lead lap, while the № 8 Audi run two laps down in fourth place, eight laps ahead of the fifth place P.1, the non-hybrid № 13 from Rebellion. The № 7 Audi is on the same lap as the Rebellion, having been plagued by problems all day, but fighting on resolutely.
In G.T.E. Pro., the Risi Competizione № 82 Ferrari 488 is leading the Chip Ganassi Ford GTs, № 69 & № 68. I'm no fan of Ferrari, but I am firmly in the "Anybody but Ford" camp. I regard the Ford Motor Company with a horror much akin to that with which I regard Il Duce. Anybody but Ford!
