Have you seen this car ? It sounds so baddass and is really fast ! 

 

The 100th 24 Hours of Le Mans is happening this weekend, and while that's important for a lot of reasons, we're mostly interested in one thing: NASCAR's Garage 56 Camaro entry. It won the race's pit stop challenge yesterday using a floor jack, and now with practice sessions under way, we get to hear it lapping Circuit de la Sarthe at full tilt.

Can a Chevrolet drive for 24 straight hours without breaking?

 

Not right off the lot.

7:47 p.m.: The No. 24 Garage 56 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has completed 111 laps — 939.837 miles. After his last stint, Jimmie Johnson said that the team was caught by a safety car deployment, losing a lap in the process. Still, the car is shown in 36th place in the overall 62-car field, as we’re currently under a full-course yellow.

……I began to try to explain…that it just wasn't …just wasn't ….what it was...

I lost interest in this race once the drivers stopped sprinting to the car, and starting it up with the key, at the start of the race.

Just another race now.

Nothing to set it apart from other 24 hour races.

The pit crew is finding moments to rest in between stops for service and driver changes. But those checking the monitors can see that stats so far — 169 laps completed by the Garage 56 car, 1,430.923 miles and showing 28th on the overall scoreboard with just one LM GTE car ahead of it — the class-leading Kessel Racing No. 57 Ferrari.

 

12:45 a.m.: Creeping closer to nine hours remaining in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Garage 56 car has crossed the 1,500-mile mark — 1,515.593 miles to put a finer point on it. Jimmie Johnson is taking the wheel from Jenson Button in overcast conditions, with weather as cool as it has been since the start.
