THIS FORD IS ON FIYAHHHHH

on the 12th why di GT cars and Prototypes race at the sametime on the same track

#67 in problem again……

My favorite part: seeing ford get destroyed

When you want to get an autograph but you get distracted by the battle between #2 and #7.

They need to let the footage go to US shores. I mean we get F1, WRC highlights, WTCC highlights, rallycross, I think it’s time someone in FIA gets the idea “hey wait a minute, aren’t we missing a few countries?” I’ll bet you 12 bucks Canada gets live coverage of the WEC, just saying.

In Germany the races are broadcasted in pay tv or you have to pay for the international broadcast. I guess the tv coverage is quite poor almost everywhere.

I can tell their not that big because they arebone oglf two halves of the ALMS when it folded (WEC and Weathertech Sportscar Championship). But I was only talking about the tv coverage of the races, not actually visiting the races.
