I had that impression for years now but I always thought that was because they weren't used to deal with pressure and made mistakes because of that.

But what happened today is inexcusable, from hour 7 on this was a walk in the park....4 works cars against helpless privateers.

Narac is pulling away from Canal quickly might even have enough time to pit and get out in the lead.

I'm sure Audi will bring 20 R18s next year just to make sure they sweep the podium yet again.

If under safety car, it makes no sense, since you have to go to the rear of the next safety car queue anyways.
I'm not sure, I'm going with I've seen on the TV, and nothing else means to be mentioned of it...

Also, the 20 Audi R18s they race next year will probably bee under the banners, "Audi Sport Team Joest", "Audi Sport North America", "Audi Sport China", "Audi Sport Russia", "Audi Sport Brazil" and "Audi Sport Zimbabwe"

Heidfield better pick up the pace if he wants to keep 4th by the end of the race.

The bright side to this is that possible new manufacturers see that Audi is very well beatable, they don't have that aura anymore that they had when Peugeot first stepped in.

Starworks Motorsports in their first Le Mans and Peter Baron is kicking Scumbag Motorsports and Scott Tucker's a$$ with the same type of car despite losing Sarrazin.

Rain was forecasted for the final hour.

Looks like Gene is determined to prove he's more than a reserve guy.

Level 5 has always been a complete joke of a team considering their resources, their life span for a car is typically about that of a carton of Milk. The sooner Level 5 is gone the better, and hopefully more American privateer teams like Starworks see P2 as an option.

I may be wrong, but I have a feeling you might see more American DP teams trying out P2 at Le Mans next year after the run Starworks has had.

No problem if More DP teams were to move to LMP2 or GTE or LMP1, what i do have a problem with is the way Tucker made his money, but thats not for discussion here.

Wayne Taylor and Ricky Taylor are at the race supporting Jordan, maybe they will get the buzz and enter a family car in the future?

Armindo in the #67 and Lamy in the #50

#97 losing fluid
