Le Mans 2008 Blog

Le Mans 2008 on Baekdal.com

The 2008 Le Mans is only a month away and people have already asked me if Baekdal.com is going to create a live tracker - like I did last year. The answer is: yes, of course!

The "24 Heures du Mans 2008" is an event where I turn into a motorsport geek, and not only watch the entire race - but also create a live tracker that combines all the information from the Le Mans website in a single interface.

I will be providing more information on Baekdal.com's coverage of the 2008 Le Mans when we get closer to the event (on June 14-15). So stay tuned...

Here are some of the pictures from last year:

Read what I made last year.
