    what driver wouldn't want to race the 24 hour event? this is without a doubt, one of the 3 major races in the world, with the Monaco GP and Indy 500 as the others.

    I'd kill just to go to see the event

    Cool

    Agreed. The 24 heurs du Mons is arguably one of the most prestigous races, in my mind MORE so than either the Indy 500 or Daytona 500, and possibly even more than Monaco just because Monaco is over in 2 hours or less.

    For me, the Le Mans 24 is THE race, none others even come close.

    Mikey has been racing sports cars with his partner for a couple of years now. They've run in a couple of races in Dubai. I hope they do well.

    Mikey is doing what Dale Sr. wanted to do. Try something new. Good on him....

    There is NOTHING like Le Mans, nothing....
