Dreaming of snow.
Not too far away is the beauty of the winter. Find a friend with another Bugatti Veyron and a brisk drive through the winter boulevards and twisties!
This photograph is beautiful and ridiculous at the same time—-but still wonderful!

IEDEI bids farewell.
It is with a heavy heart that i’ve decided to discontinue updating IEDEI. I have thoroughly enjoyed posting over the last nearly 4 years and have enjoyed talking and meeting many of you. I am only one person, and simply do not have the capacity to go on posting. It is unfortunate at a time when the blog has been rapidly gaining popularity—-however I simply do not have the time, emotion, or capacity to research and update as I would like. Many posts I make are not simply uploading a photo or linking to outside places. To find that content takes time…..it takes passion….and it takes effort.
With all of this being said…it’s possible that in the future I may re-start this site, however at this time I am not thinking about it. I’ve loved cars since the age of 2…however I’ve also realised that over time—things change.
As a fitting final post….i would like to leave you with a simply wonderful video of 2 cars I love—-and one of which is the center of which everything on this blog was inspired by: the Alpine A110.
Please feel free to email me at IEDEIblog@gmail.com if you’d ever like to collaborate on any projects, or if you’d like me to write an article….or if you just want to talk. The IEDEI site will remain online for the time being, as an archive for people to find and enjoy.
Much love to the gear shifting brothas. This video is for you.

Fantastica. See the full set of donut photos in sequence of the brilliant Renault Alpine A110-50 Concept at Le Container.
video of the day. Ultra Motion at Le Mans 2012.
This video is beautiful. Epic bite the back of your hand beautiful. The essence of Le Mans in 2012——i’m still buzzing over the race, and this slow-motion “Ultra Motion” video that Eurosport was using during their coverage really shines through when set to shoegazing background music.
thanks to Don for the tip!
1969 East African Safari rally.
An adventure and its documentation. An event which is still alive today as more of a nostalgic event!

Audi now have 11 victories in 13 years, and one of those being the Audi-in-disguise Bentley Speed 8. Total dominance! The last few laps were taken with 4 R18s running side by side, making for some phenomenal atmosphere! More pics as they are released…No other team has ever shown this sort of dominance at Le Mans in such a short period of time.
Today, the 1st and 2nd place finishing cars were the Audi R18 e-tron quattro hybrid, making it the first AWD and Hybrid car to ever win the greatest race in the world! The #1 R18 e-tron quattro finishing the line in 1st place.
As an Audi fan and as a Le Mans enthusiast, I watched 18 hours of this race. I hope some of you enjoyed the coverage using the links I posted here last night. It was a hell of an adventure! I hope to make it to La Sarthe one of these days. Congratulations to the entire Audi Sport program!

nearly 7 hours done. Standings…
The Toyotas started off fantastic, running 2 and 3 for quite a while. As seen before, the #8 was in a terrible crash with a crappy Ferrari driver, and the #7 Toyota had contact with the Deltawing, causing major damage as the car has been stuck in the pits for ages now. The #3 Audi R18 Ultra which was crashed is in 14th position right now, and the #7 Toyota is still in the pits, currently in 24th position.
That leaves Audi in #1, #2, and #3 with the e-tron quattro taking the top 2 positions thus far. There are still 17 hours left to go, so nothing can be said about what is still remaining to happen.
The LMP2 category is solidly competitive at th emoment, with the #48 Oreca Nissan up in the lead with 2 Morgans less than a lap behind! Great to see Morgan back in competition here!
The GTE pro and amateur classes are solidly led by the C6 ZR1 with nearest Aston Martin (my personal favourite in this class) a couple of laps behind (pro).

#7 Toyota takes out the Deltawing.
The Deltawing was an interesting concept, albeit not really competitive in any way….if anything it was getting in the way of most cars on the track. That being said, it got nailed pretty hard by the #7 Toyota.
Crash, remove, and drive!
Romain Dumas crashes his Audi R18 Ultra into a tire wall, then proceeds to get out of the car and basically remove the entire front bodywork from both sides, get back in the car and drive it for 5-6 minutes back to the pits! Amazing bit of effort and determination from Dumas! Great to see.
As of right now, the #3 R18 is back in the race! Many laps down….but still in the race!
Here’s the video!
Blame Ferrari.
An awful crash which just took out the #8 Toyota TS030 today in Le Mans. A damn shame…..amateur privateers driving Ferraris ruining the LMP1 class race again this year.
Meantime, Toyota have done superb today—until this terrible accident. Anthony Davidson is apparently OK after the accident. The driver of the Ferrari is also OK.
Where to watch Le Mans online! (streaming)
I will be updating this during the course of the next 24 hours. Unfortunately I am not able to embed any of these sources directly onto here, so the best I can do is link to some sources. If one of them fails, use the others as alternatives!
Edit @ Noon, US EST: I now have a great French-English Le Mans TV live video feed embedded in this post! Just click the play button. This feed should be reliable for 24 hours. If you don’t like the bilingual feed, my suggestion would be to play this video feed and listen to Radio Le Mans (linked below) at the same time.
These are not scams! these are good, hopefully reliable sources to stream the best race on earth!

video of the day. evening onboard amazement.
TOMORROW is the day! Here’s some amazing onboard footage from the Audi R18 e-tron quattro. A hell of a warm up for tomorrow’s 24 hours of madness. A must watch!
video of the day. Night Action.
A short minute and a half video of the first night of Le Mans practice. The atmosphere is glistening….less than 2 days left til the glory of Le Mans!

video of the day. R18 e-tron quattro onboard.
This is Spa on May 5th. Totally gets my blood rushing. The bizarrely wicked frequencies of the Audi R18 e-tron quattro! I’m so ready for Le Mans!
video of the day. GT-R.
The latest in the Depth of Speed series, and in my opinion the best video in the series by quite a margin—Eric Bauer and his KPGC10 GT-R. Beautiful. Eric seems genuinely gushing over his purchase, and rightfully so!
Nice video too—with no overdramatic cheeseball piano music like most of the ‘new’ car videos are inserting!

A lovely sketch by the talented Rob Ijbema, which i’ve enthused about many times here…
