For me it was the Le Mans 24 Minutes. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm getting on and need my rest. :oops:

Pretty much all of it, but I did miss a little bit for various reasons - hanging out with the girlfriend, going to the store to pick up some allergy medication (at the risk of sounding like Nigel Mansell, I was sick all race long), IndyCar racing, and the Underbone race.

In that case, then i missed bits of it aswell. But i had it on all 24 hours.


Same, I voted all, but I did missed some for similar reasons. I sure don't regret watching the Underbone race.

Watched all of it. Never left the house, and apart from toilet breaks and helping the family with a thing or two, I didn't leave the couch :p

Must have been around 20, took a nap from 4 to 7 AM. And I also switched to F1 and IndyCar (first race only), but kept watching Le Mans on a second screen.

Was in town between 20 and 01, thereafter never left the couch except for the usual. Watched about half of the IndyCar race though.

I would say about 14. Work and such meant I couldn't see it all.

I had about two naps (during the Audi safety cars periods) and slept in my bed (trying to get my son to get some sleep!) So I would say about 3 or 4 hours of sleeping time.

I managed better this time compared with the 2004 Le Mans when I slept from 5am until 9/10am. I never forget my experience of being on my own at Arnage (while my other two mates slept in the tent!)

I pretty much stopped watching the live coverage when it was obvious the McNish crash was going to cause a long stoppage. Just followed the rest on here, turned it back on for awhile after Rockenfeller's crash, waiting to hear word on his condition, then stopped again until the last 45 minutes or so.

I had the stream on whole time but I did all kinds of stuff (went to a grocery store on saturday evening, even did some cleaning (priorities?!)) and took a 30 hour nap on sunday morning. Maybe I didn't "watch" it all the time but definitelly "followed" at least 20 hours of it.

I slept in, so I watched the first segment Speed aired on DVR delay, and fast-forwarded the safety car. The stream didn't work so well for me and I was still catching up so I skipped the online bit. Third segment I watched. When they went back online I watched the IndyCar race, and actually stuck with it to the finish, even when LeMans moved back to SpeedTV (I convinced myself that at some point the drivers would remember they're at Texas and a race would break out). I napped for at least an hour and a half around 5AM EST.
So... 13 hours?

less than 1. I had to work first time during a Le Mans weekend :( So I watched half an hour live after F1 qualifying. Heard about the big Audi crash and then fast forwarded through my recording of the first hour. Then on Sunday morning I watched 20 minutes at 4am while having breakfast.

I watched all 24 Hours. I woke up just before 9am (Eastern time US) and turned on the TV RIGHT as the cars crossed the line to begin the race. I watched SPEED for what it was on and then rushed to the Internet to watch the gaps. I went to bed right after the race ended at 9am (EST) and didn't wake up until like 4pm.

A little bit later, I realized the F1 race was delayed, so I turned it on and watched about the last 20 laps or so.

I was still incredibly tired, but I think it was the best motor sport weekend of my life.

Unfair to ask this year...
45min Bar Tertre Rouge after McNish's crash and SC period
2 hours walking out of sight and out of the spectator areas to get to the Mulsanne
minus 2 hours saturday evening BBQ from 7:30 to 9:30
Watching at night cut short due to Rocky's crash and the long SC period - we were at the campsite at 11pm instead of 2am
so that's 16 hours at the track

My record at Le Mans is 23:15, I took a nap at old Tertre Rouge on the outside at around 3am in 2006 - the last year of the "real" Tertre Rouge
Alltime record is the full 24h which I did at Spa being an accredited snapper

Could you give me a cup of tea before I fell asleep?

Just thinking, this was 2 months ago. Wow.
