Looks like I missed this... this would be pretty awesome to see... I assume this is the 24 Hours of Lemons? and not LeMans?
Any idea how I can watch this after the fact?

I've always watched the Lemans race, well as much as I can on and off over the 24 hr period. it's always amazing to watch the different classes missile down the straights and rip around the corners at unreal speeds.
This year was something amazing, being someone who is not a Nascar fan and no interest in that, what a treat to watch the Hendricks car absolutely destroy the GT class and hang with the LMP2 cars on acceleration down the straights and thunder along like the freight train they made that car be. As I learned about the car and team leading up to the race, I took more interest in this years running than ever before. They accomplished so much for the racing world by bridging the different disciplines, it was certainly Epic and treat we may never see again.
It truly was something special.[This message has been edited by jelly2m8 (edited 06-13-2023).]

Ah ok... I misunderstood RayB when he said "P-Car"... I thought he was talking about Fieros.
I've watched it on TV before, but never been to the race in person. To be honest, I've never been to a 24 Hours of Daytona, or even watched a race in Seabring... I literally live next to two fantastic areas with real race heritage, and never bothered to go. Though, I DROVE at the Daytona oval track for a short while, while I was making my way onto the concourse for the car show in 2000. Lol...

P would have stood for 'Prototype' The top classes in Lemans were traditionally LMP1 and LMP2 ( Le Mans Prototype ) in 2020 the LMP1 class was replaced as 'Hypercar'
