I was there for about five hours total, then drove home and watched the rest on TV. I'm about 45 minutes away from RA. I forgot ear plugs, but honestly the only cars that were really loud in person were the two white 911s.
The sensation of speed doesn't really translate well on TV. The cars going down the straight is pretty intense, and they all sound wildly different. The cars are all bunched up for the first several laps, so you'll see all of the classes go by then wait about a minute or so before they'd be going past you again. Once the field separates it gets a lot more fun to watch in person.

SO great!
Thank you for the at-the-track narrative of the race; it must have been awesome!
