shaping up to be a good battle overall between the diesle audis and peugouts. and a good fight in GT1 between the Astons, Saleens and Corvettes. was a Lambo Murcielargo in there too but it was written off in qualifying.

[Mr Revhead]

the ACO has allowed the Lambo team to use another shell

[Mr Revhead]

audi going well, same with aston...

the lambo didnt make a lap....


is anyone else following it?

[A.D.D.]

Yeah I was up at 1am to hear the start of the race. Dumb Peugeot on pole went straight into the gravel on the first corner! But at least he was back up to 3rd by the end of the lap.

I've been searching everywhere for a live stream. Will post a link if I find anything

[Mr Revhead]

has more up to date timing
the le mans site is a bit erratic

That was definitely worth not studying for my exams!

That last remaining Audi was just too good. Peugeot 2nd, Pescarolo 3rd.

The DBR9 was lucky to beat the Corvette in GT1. If it wasn't for the safety car, it would've been a win for the Corvette

[Mr Revhead]

damn having work..... i had to go to bed!!


well done audi (again!!!)

i dont think the corvette wouldv caught the aston, finished a lap behind and the aston was pacing itself just right, if the corvette got closer, theyd have jus tspeed up, and the aston is faster than the vette.

next year im taking the monday off work so i can watch the end!!

[A.D.D.]

Think I just failed my exam this morning because of watchin it all Sunday afternoon till the end But I think it was worth it. And I'll do it all again next year.

I reckon the corvette could've done it, because it was the only car still driving competitively in the rain with an hour to go. It was catching the Aston at average 30s a lap! I would've easily unlapped itself and gotten very close without that safety car. Even the Aston pit crew were writing up signs pleading for the safety car They were worried.

[Mr Revhead]

i have to disagree there, i say aston had the pace needed worked out, and if the corvette got on the same lap, i bet a large amount the aston wouldve picke dup the pace
and its one thing to catch up, and another to get past

rumour has it aston is looking at a prototype in 2010

[Audi]

Go the Audi!
