Hey cool Hector, now we have a front row seat !

It always amazes me how they speed along nonstop like this
and the night Racing is just as beautiful as seeing them in the
day. And although I don’t know a ton about it, or watch
a ton of racing, I still think it is extraordinary, so thanks again
for posting this up for everyone !!! 🏎

No worries mate! It's a great race and it really is something that is never certain until the end. 24 Hours take a heavy toll on a car, and the drivers (usually 3 per team who drive in shifts). This particular race is called "The Green Hell" (Die grüne Hölle) because the track itself is a enormous challenge, and then you add the night time driving and the fatigue to both driver and car.

24 Heures du Mans will be coming up soon too (10-11th of June). More exciting endurance racing!

It’s actually fascinating Hector, and I didn’t know a lot of the info
you are giving us at all. Just the changing drivers aspect
is ultra cool, along with something neat to find out about. Oh
and by the way, I looked for the race on TV today and could not
find it, so thanks a ton for having this here for everyone !!!

Glad to help!

If you are interested in Endurance Racing, the US also offers a lot of these sort of races, 24 hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring and more (which were already held for 2023). You can find out more info here: Calendar - FIA World Endurance Championship

Too cool Hector !! It’s amazing all the types of racing there are
right sir?! Just the endurance racing is something one can pay real
attention to and follow. Because it really is epic, not to mention very
beautiful to watch like you guys are saying.

It’s like watching a movie, but real life ! ..Thanks a lot !!!
