This Is The Best Way To Survive The 24 Hours Of Le Mans
This Is The Best Way To Survive The 24 Hours Of Le Mans-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:21

Ford GT driver Harry Tincknell just one-upped even the 24 Hours of Le Mans with by stripping down to his nomex undies and hopping into a kiddie pool earlier in the race. This is how I’d want to enjoy Le Mans. You win, man. Regardless of how the race plays out, you win.

It’s only in the upper 80s (Fahrenheit) at Le Mans, but it’s also usually pretty muggy there. So, if you just came out of a car, I get it.

Le Mans race cars are mostly air conditioned (surprising exemption: the leading Toyota TS050), but it’s nowhere near like the ice-cold winter storm that blasts your face inside your mom’s Cadillac. Race-car air conditioning is just enough to alleviate a bit of sweat inside the rolling sauna that is a GT car, and it’s there more for drivers’ survival as opposed to comfort.

So, the smart thing to do is to seek comfort once you’re out of the car, as Tincknell brilliantly demonstrates here.

I don’t know what’s the more genius paddock feature: this or Nissan’s of 2015. On one hand, that tube slide was perfect for waking yourself up late in the night. But this kiddie pool looks delightfully cool on a warm day, and has little duckies in it. Those duckies look convincing.

The GM IndyCar Aero Kit Looks Like A Big-Boned F1 Car From 2008
The Chevrolet IndyCar aero kit for the DW12 is, uh, angular. Lots and lots of angles and flaps—so much so that it reminds us of the Formula One racers from almost a decade ago. Moreover, we're still not really sure why this is the big issue the series chose to...
