#399 The Spirit of Le Mans. The 2020 Le Mans 24 Hours was run with no supporters in the grandstands, we explain how were there in spirit. We catch up on F1 news. Fountains DC sing It’s All About The Vibe, and big news on a special edition of On Speed.
Fountains DC - It‘s all about the vibe.
Sunday morning’s really boring
Unless you’re at Le Mans
Coz Formula One
Doesn’t get going
Until about ten past one
I get dismayed at the track parade
It lacks spectacle and glory
If I’m honest
I’m frankly dismayed
At drivers on the back of a diesel lorry.
CHORUS
They’ve gotta work harder
To earn my dollar
It’s all about the vibe
It’s all about the vibe
It‘s all about the vibe
It’s all about the vibe
It‘s all about the vibe.
Maybe I’m just getting older
In the past this sport was much, much bolder
V10s, V12s in the mix
Not just the monotone drone
Of V6 after V6 .....(after V6).
It makes me sick
I think they’ve missed a trick
I liked the noise whren it came fast and thick
These rules were written by a dipstick.
CHORUS
They’ve gotta work harded
To earn my dollar
It’s all about the vibe
It’s all about the vibe
It‘s all about the vibe.
Think for minute
How does it look?
How does it sound?
Holy fook!
Do something about it
By hook or by crook
Take a leaf out
Of someone else’s book.
At Le Mans you get a range of sounds
V8 Corvettes shake the ground
Flat 6 Porsches
Sound like bees
Even turbo Toyota
Please my ears
And it’s been like this for years.
F1, change gear
Change gear F1
Or we’ll be gone
Or we’ll all be fookin’ gone
It’s all about the vibe
It’s all about the vibe
It‘s all about the vibe.
