/DRIVE Driver's Eye - Corvette DP @ Watkins Glen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Big7flLz8vo
next weekend is the 2014 Le Mans Classic, and it will be broadcasted
Let's found a University Motorsport Team and get it a rotary engine. Where does it end up? Apparently in LeMans: http://inmotion.tue.nl/wp-cont ... s-Release-August-2014.pdf
Well, that idea has been in my head for a long time, obviously I expected Mazda to go for it (either like this as a range extender or as a hydrogen version).
What I don't like is that they get the whole story of the 787B wrong already in that first paragraph. The Wankel wasn't outlawed because Mazda won with it, the whole reglement was known to change (to that 3.5 F1 formula) for years already. Mazda just set everything on one card and won that last year on the old reglement. A Wankel enthusiast should know that. And FIA "banned" it rather for the complicated equalisation with piston engine than superiority.
And don't expect the car to sound like the 787B, its engine will run at constant speed like in a generator (500+bhp still seems like a lot
)

wonder if they manage to run the full 3 hours left, as conditions get worse every minutes (raining hard, and getting foggy)

Does anyone know a good stream(-source) for this weekends Petit LeMans yet?
+ onboards: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7648795/
And here's a VLC playlist file with all of them (save the file, open in VLC and Ctrl+L):

none of those streams works for some reason
Wait until there is a race going on (or support race, they usually come from this too)
Oh, I was thinking that countdown on this page (http://www.roadatlanta.com/petit-le-mans-road-atlanta) marked the start of the main race.
That counter seems to be broken. Start is 3 hours 4 mins from this post.

I would be interested in seeing the start of that incident as well as the end.
