Go Brundle!
GO Brundle and GO Barbosa!!!
****ing Max!

Brundle down to 4th because of the mad prick.
Sloppy move for sure, but Scott was going to get around him anyways, as he is now in the lead with 45 minutes remaining.
dont have a clue whats going on anyways, just watching since 2 hours. i like the commentators, they are more into it and commentating more excited about the action than any other german tv commentator there is

btw, there is/was a Diaz driving, thought about Phil Diaz from ineX
Only in my dreams.
Sick. SICK! Finish. Holy shit that was simply amazing.

Unlucky Brundle. Oh well, he gave it a good old shot. Still an amazing perfomance.

Good stuff! What a year to start off 2011 racing!
anyone have a video? i was out to eat and didn't get to see the finish
I'm happy. BMW Riley 1-2. Couldn't be better.
excellent race.
2011 is gonna be a good year for the race fan, I can feel it in me bones.
Barbosa just made it to the top 3, so us the little Tugas have something to brag about (even if last year's win wasn't repeated :X)
Gotta feel sorry for Brundle though, he didn't even want to wait for the fuel to get in the car he wanted this one so bad
Yeah 3rd place for the old man team would have been would have been a thoroughly deserved result.

Ahahahahahaha!

Think I saw that guy at least 5 times the hour

And the freaking commercial made me hungry all the time!


Was interesting to watch, but I asked myself what happened to the #40 Mazda, he led with 1 lap and then was suddenly 3-4 laps behind... At least on the podium, sadly the Mazda with the most chances got Porsche-Camaro'd

And Said/Auberlen's BMW had gearbox trouble I heard when leading the GTs...

one of the drivers spun and stalled if I remember right.

Dempsey isn't Paul Newman as of yet, but his team is getting pretty respectable. If you had told me that an actor from Grey's Anatomy could finish third in the 24 hours of Daytona, I'd have taken that bet... and lost. Good on him for putting in all the effort required to get to this point despite another career.
...and I heard their Mazda had electric problems towards the end, that may also be a reason.

When I heard "Patrick Dempsey", I thought "That actor?", because I didn't know that he'd drive there.

Well done
It was one of the best 24 hour races that I've ever seen despite the long period of fog over night. I think 24 hours is too long for exciting racing anyways :P

So, Paris-Dakar is about exciting racing? Tour de France? Iron Man?
No, I know that's not the attraction for everybody, and I respect that, but I'm more likely to watch a race that is more exciting.
