But Tom Kristensens Audi is leading with a lap! YAY :excited: And next driver is Kristensen himself :D The Peugeot's can't keep up in the rain :bananasplit:

Yes, I'm happy, because the Peugeot's were REALLY fast :eek:

Nugget? I believe it was 03 or 04 where it was a Bentley that one, also driven by Tom Kristensen :D

[Eudemon]

Yeah I see that now I got confused by the Audi Le Mans website: http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/experience/Motorsport/lemans.html Going for the 8th win kind of threw me of when they included 2000.

 

Now I notice they don't have 2003 in that slideshow.

[Aquila DK]

But still, 7 out of 8 times is really an achievement.

Sticks middle finger in the air to Aston Martin's general direction :mad: !!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Yes I am a bitter, angry, annoyed Corvette fanboy :o !!!!!

 

 

 

Jeez not again :o !!!!!!!!

 

 

So both of my teams 'failed', Peugeot didn't win the LMP1 class/overall race and Corvette Racing were beaten by Brits (yet again :mad:!)

 

 

What went wrong for Peugeot ??????

 

At the start of the race they were on pretty much on fire, then dusk came and then it went down hill, I mean at one point all three of the cars were in the pits at the same time :eek: !!!! then gradually the cars were pulled into the garage and work began all this while Audi were just being Audi and eating into Peugeots lead :(.

 

Basically Peugeot proved they had the pace but reliability was the problem, if they wanna win Le Mans they have to have the whole package (speed, reliability, consistency etc etc !) something which I hope they will have this time next year :).

 

I would talk about the Corvette's but on the count I didn't see them that much I won't bother :o.

Shouldn't you be happy that the Brits have actually won something??

[Who]

so glad that AM won their group :D

 

although i must confess, that the C6R sounded AMAZING.

 

ah well, the Aston won, in gulf colours aswell. top notch :D

[Baltoman]

Im kinda angry too cause vette didnt win but its just a race and even if corvette won the race, what would I win with that?

 

but still... GO VETTE GO

[Eudemon]

Le Mans is not just a race, it is the race that everyone wants to win, it is a test of driving, reliability, pit strategy, prediction and of course stamina. Why do you think Aston Martin only race 1 race in 12 months because they know the significance of a win at Le Mans.
