Of course, given that WEC races are 6 hours (apart from the 24 Hours of Le Mans) it makes sense that this nutshell is 52 minutes 43 seconds.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The highlights from the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps were awesome. A Ford GT and Ferrari 488 going side-by-side into Eau Rouge can’t not be awesome.

I also hate that Toyota failed again at Le Mans. Last year really was their year - it’s ridiculous that their car broke down in the lead on the final lap. Fucking hell.

I think they do 52 minute wrap ups after every race.

That’s also not surprising.

However, the 52 minute season wrap-up (which I’m nearly finished watching) seems to have all of the good stuff. I love WEC but can’t spend so long watching it, apart from Le Mans which I make a point to watch.

I have not sat through 24 hours of racing. It usually takes me a week of watching a few hours of a race here & there or Saturday morning.

I don’t know if I’ll buy full season next year as they are uploading full races.

Was only like $40 though. Might as well.

It is neat seeing highlights and thinking “ I was watching when that happened live”

I haven’t sat through the full 24, but I think I’ve sat and watched at least 1/3 of it in multiple sessions. I’ll catch the start and watch for a while, then start watching before the finish (depends on how early I wake up since I’m in Canada). There are hours watched in between as well since the race is over the weekend, but it’s the only time where I would watching this much racing in such a short timeframe.
