Well.... I'm just as much of a historian as the rest of us on here.
But this will be the first stiff test Audi has faced since Toyota's TTE operation when on to generally be an also-ran in F1. The Toyota could have won at least twice if it wasn't for accidents in the middle of the night that took out the lead car or tire blowouts.
The all Japanese car just couldn't lap with the Audi's when Ukyo Katayama wasn't in the car. That could have been solved with 3 front line drivers in all the cars.
Be that as it may, I also believe as the ACO does that if and when a serious player wants to run a gas powered car at Le Mans, they rules will be adjusted to help them. Poor Henri is small potatos with no OEM help and the ACO has no interest in helping a fellow countrymen as there is way more world wide media focus and its immediate. They would leave themselves WIDE open to ridicule....
So let's in enjoy the race and no worry about if the ACO will have egg on their face as we already know they could care less unless we all didn't go to the race and didn't watch it on TV and we ALL know that won't happen.
When we'll fans learn if they want CHANGE, stop going and stop watching. Hit them in the wallet and they'll listen to the fans.
