Semi-off topic: Petit Le Mans TV coverage



A few things:

1) Road Atlanta kicks ass! I love that track...  :)

2) Once again Toyo does the Veedub and its Teutonic brethren right.
Commercial on during the race coverage featuring a
BMW/Mercedes/Audi/Jetta (Vento) GLX. This in addition to the spot with
the black BMW and Golf VR6. It's just cool to see VW's prominently
featured on TV!

3) Anyone see that GT1 911 do the full backflip with a 1/2 twist? The
car caught a *little* bit of air on a straight, the nose started to
lift, then the whole car took off doing an almost 1 1/4 backflip before
smashing the rear, losing the hood, and going nose first into a barrier.
The driver was in street clothes doing interviews just a few hours
later.
