Go to "full screen"!

Picture quality is a bit poor, but tolerable. (Try to imagine doing this lap at night!)

I agree! Even splitting time with other drivers would be tough.

Back then, each car was assigned a team of 2 drivers for the race.

Oh contre - at the speeds they travel it becomes very technical...particularly so at night.

Got my heart going, and I was driving a computer!!!! I cannot imagine that at night, especially the last section before and after White House.

Pedro Rodriguez drove for 17 of the 24 hours in one of the late 60's races! Now that's an Iron man!
