Two into one through the second part of Tamburello doesn't work, if anyone has to take some blame on that incident it has to be TK.

And Bernhard is about to go a lap down as well very soon at this rate.

Well then the Audi was even faster.......Im not sure that davidson is telling it alll...Read this excerpt from Mulsanne Mike....i don't remember the Peugeots excelling at night....

Meanwhile the Audi, which has higher downforce, is better in the twisty bits. Finally we know from our source in Peugeot Sport that the 908 has a very narrow operating window. This has a lot to do with the wide fronts. As the temperature dropped the 908's all lost pace – whilst Audi just motored on. Simple: come 9 am and the Peugeots will start catching up again. That is, if there are any Audis to catch up to.

im not making this up...

The lap times are not backing this up though, Peugeot was strongest during the night and the very early morning hours when it was cool.

MitchZ06 · 3 Jul 2011, 13:09 (Ref:2917359)

Old news....gives a perfect explanation for the traction I'm talking about, the Pug is just simply better in the heat than the Audi.

Tom908V12 · 3 Jul 2011, 13:09 (Ref:2917360)

I like Davidson very much, wht a fantastic show at Imola

Thats what i;m saying ....tell Acid09 this...He says the Peugeot excels in the cool conditions

Audi Racer · 3 Jul 2011, 13:11 (Ref:2917362)

Davidsons about to lap Bernhard...

Acid09 · 3 Jul 2011, 13:12 (Ref:2917363)

I think Peugeot could stomach Wurz leaving but they better do everything they can to keep Ant happy.

MitchZ06 · 3 Jul 2011, 13:12 (Ref:2917364)

I hate the guy, hes a pompus **** that acts like how he drives is perfectly reasonable and everyones out to get him.

Mike wrote that before the race. During the race it turned out that the opposite occured.

Peugeot was a lot faster than Audi during the night when they switched to the soft tyre compound. Peugeot could not keep the temperature in the medium tyres during the day because the 2011 cars run with little downforce and because the track temperatures were pretty low (compared to Sebring and Spa).

Ever since Le Mans last year he has slowly become the fastest Pug driver though... which means something if you have Stephane Sarrazin & Franck Montagny on the team as well.

JMW 458 spin

Victor_RO · 3 Jul 2011, 13:14 (Ref:2917368)

Both Audis have gone a lap down.

Rebellion 12 off with Prost behind the wheel.

Yep...He and Franck Montagny summarize Peugeot's sportsmanship...It looks like Peugeot is firing all of the clean drivers....And keeping the dirty one

Acid09 · 3 Jul 2011, 13:15 (Ref:2917371)

Bernhard is a lap down... this is shaping up to be quite the Le Mans revenge

MitchZ06 · 3 Jul 2011, 13:16 (Ref:2917372)

Rebellion to break the 9min barrier at Pikes Peak in 2012.

I'd agree with you on Montagny, his driving is always quite reckless and his attitude is difficult to like. With regards to Davidson I can't say I've seen a lot of dirty driving from him?

JMW 458 back

Is the MIK car running with the hybrid parts in operation?

DavyC412 · 3 Jul 2011, 13:25 (Ref:2917381)

if only BMW was able to field 3 cars, maybe it could be a BMW 135 ba-dum-ching

Audi Racer · 3 Jul 2011, 13:30 (Ref:2917382)

Can someone explain to me wth is going on with Audi........Out of nowhere both guys run 1.34's

Acid09 · 3 Jul 2011, 13:31 (Ref:2917383)

Looks like they left their mojo in Le Mans..
