NASCAR at LeMans

[halligan1201]

I'm going to have to find this race so I can watch it. Love LeMans and the GT cars. I would love to see this old school stockers running side by side with 911s and Ferrari!

Today's cars? It's the current car they are racing. OP just linked to an article about when they did it in the past.

But its happening in the 2023 race

I believe this is one of the most exciting thing in the last couple years. Never figured we’d see the day a stock car raced against a different class of cars, let alone at Le Mans.

And those are road going cars. The GT-Pro and GT-AM cars are those numbers but the LeMans Prototype classes are bonkers quick.

i feel like anything faster than 2 or 3 seconds to 60 is nearly instant. crazy.

1. 1999 Chevrolet S-10 NHRA Pro Stock Race Truck – 1.1 seconds
2. 2016 AMZ Grimsel Electric Race Car – 1.5 seconds
3. 2015 Infiniti Formula 1 Red Bull RB11 – 1.7 seconds

Just got back from Universal Studios and the Hulk, Velocicoaster. Crazy fast acceleration. The new Haggard ride isn't as fast but you're sitting upright on his motorcycle so it was cool. SeaWorld has even faster coasters and Busch Gardens has some that are bananas.

So they are coming back.. Awe yeah
