David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH)

You need to fly a bunch of people around the world and buy expensive equipment and so forth.

So you need a bunch of capital.

And I had some through the success of the company.

So I could do it, which meant that I could get to Le Mans.

So I set that as my goal.

I want to get to Le Mans.

And I started racing in real competition 2009.

And three years later in 2012, I was at the grid of Le Mans for the first time.

There are three drivers, mind you.

So it's not like one guy just driving for 20 hours, 24 hours straight.

But still, it's a pretty tough race, both physically and mentally, especially mentally.

When you've been up for 24 plus hours, you're not quite as sharp...

That's when you first wake up.

And this is funny about Le Mans, too.

It starts at around four o'clock in the afternoon.

So you've already been up for half a day by the time the race starts.

And then there's 24 hours to go before you're done.

And you'll be in the car for anywhere from usually an hour and a half to a maximum of four hours.

The regulations say four out of six is the max you can do.

I've spent perhaps two and a half hours in a single stint at Le Mans.
