At the end the only question was which Audi would win. The Panoz ran well until it started developing problems.
And thank a merciful God that the DAMS Cadillac pilote was not hurt - if you could have seen the way that car burned until it was nothing left but a gutted shell, you would have marvelled that anyone could survive it. The pilote was scared witless, but he was just about unhurt. Cadillac put in a heroic performance and I think their pit garage deserves a round of applause for getting two of the four cars home.
The weekend belongs to Courage No. 16 though - and sucks to Nissan - bet they wished they'd been more polite now. Finishing 4th behind that Audi squad was just the same as a win.
Stupid Prize for the weekend: the two Porsche pilotes who smashed into each other on the final lap trying to finish first, and ending up with one of them DNF. Idiots.
