What is this dude smoking, and hasn't he heard of LeMans?

Winning LeMans is a far bigger achievement than a 3 hour Indy 500,
especially with such a neutered field as over the last 10 years.

What an Ameri-centric isolationist wanker.
You're just now figuring that out?

LeMans and Monaco are BOTH bigger than Indy. Even the Daytona 500 is
bigger than the Indy 500 in terms of viewers. Brickyard 400 is close to
being as big as the Indy 500.

The Indy 500 is just a time filler for Memorial Day weekend, an American
warm-up race for the [latest sponsor name here] 600.

AFAIK Coke has been the only race sponsor for the 600. Prior to that it was
called the World 600.
