This is like a dream come true. As a designer/art director/auto racing enthusiast, this is the epitome of greatness! Thomas Baekdal is an amazing thinker, creative and visionary.
When I say a dream come true I mean it in a way that this is where/what I want to be doing in my career today. Taking all the above interest and combining it into a product that I see is needed out there in the online world.
Everything is in place and it takes people like Baekdal to execute on them. Yes, I could have attempted this but he is so more advanced 
I am not that particular interested in sport. I mean, I like sailing and skiing which I do when I got time for it. But there is one thing that has always intrigued me - the 24 hour endurance race “Le Mans”.
I watch Le Mans every single year - and not only occasionally during the day - no, I watch 24 hours of Le Mans. I know how this sounds, every single woman in the world now thinks I am a geek - but who cares, it’s Le Mans, it doesn’t have to make sense.
What does this have to do with this website?When you put so much effort into a single task, you want to have great tools to work with - and the Le Mans website isn’t one of them. So, for the last 6 years I have been making a web application to solve my need for information.
I wanted a single and usable location to get:
* Live News
* The exact le Mans time
* Lap times
* Lap position
* Race events
* Picture, web cams
* Background informationI want to know more than the TV commenter’s - or at the very least - just as much. When they says; “I think that is the leading Audi with a punctured tire”, I can say “No, on my screen it clearly says that it is the second one with McNish in it”.
…and this is how it looks:
