Some day I want to see them try a land rush start....or even a Le Mans start. That could get interesting.
2016 Porsche Cayman GT4: Can The Cayman Finally Beat The 911
AeroMechanical says...This is just uninformed supposition, but I could this mean they're going to field a Boxster at Le Mans in the coming years? That seems unthinkable. The 911's are currently disadvantaged because of the big rear diffusors the 2016 GTLM regulations started allowing. All the mid and front engine cars can stick them on there, but I understand the drivetrain is in the way on the 911. It will be interesting to see what happens.
Nissan GT-R LM NISMO - Jay Leno's Garage
oritteropoJalopnik report that all three cars failed to meet the 110% qualifying time and got a penalty, they therefore start at the back of the grid:

At least for an endurance race it's not such a big deal starting last. 24 hours is a long time to make it up, although it is hard to make up time if you're the slowest car out there.
Nico Hulkenberg On Driving In F1 And Le Mans
ReefieEver since the Hulk opted to do both F1 and Le Mans this season I've been meaning to take a closer look at Le Mans and see what it's all about. I keep hearing Alan McNish compare current generation F1 cars with Le Mans cars and it's made me curious...
The History of Le Mans
9547bisProbably because this is a *Commercial.
On a funny-but-not-haha-funny note, this race had enough accidents and casualties that there is a Wikipedia page dedicated to this topic:
List of 24 Hours of Le Mans fatal accidents.
And yet no mention of the crash in the 1950s that killed more than 80 people.

Porsche at Le Mans: The Definitive History
TrancecoachBack in film school, a classmate of mine wrote an interesting screenplay set in 1955 at Le Mans, the year in which a crash lead to the deaths of over 80 spectators.
Race car on the road - "Welcome back"
ZawashAnd that Le Mans race car is supposed to be road legal?

oritteropoCool, thanks for the link
I watched "On the beach" (1959, the original one) for the F1 car, for Fred Astaire, and as a related film to Dr. Strangelove (in that order). The dvd cover of Grand Prix looks familiar, I have a horrible feeling I may have bought it and then never watched it... and if so, I will fix that over the christmas break!
Le Mans (1971) was a reasonable film for racing cars, particularly if you ignore the tiny bit of story and just watch the brilliant car scenes
Yeah, it was meant to be F1 cars; but Bernie Ecclestone (F1 commercial rights holder) decided against it, as he thought Stallone would give F1 a bad name.
He was right: It earned seven nominations at the 22nd Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Screen Couple (Burt Reynolds and Sylvester Stallone) and twice for Worst Supporting Actor (Reynolds and Stallone), with Estella Warren winning Worst Supporting Actress (also for Planet of the Apes).
List of F1, Indy car and CART drivers in the film:
Jean Alesi
Michael Andretti
Kenny Bräck
Patrick Carpentier
Cristiano Da Matta
Adrian Fernández
Christian Fittipaldi
Dario Franchitti
Luiz Garcia Jr.
Mauricio Gugelmin
Michel Jourdain Jr.
Tony Kanaan
Juan Pablo Montoya
Roberto Moreno
Max Papis
Oriol Servia
Alex Tagliani
Paul Tracy
Jimmy Vasser
Jacques Villeneuve
Here is an Excelent Racing movie: Grand Prix (1966)
It won the Academy Award Oscar for: Best Effects / Sound Effects, Best Film Editing, Best Sound in 1967.
It's the only Official F1 movie. The sound is quite incredibly. There is a scene in the movie; as they race around the streets of Monaco, with a Panavision 65mm camera strapped to the hood of the car.
All the best,
ZDM
