Rinaldo Capello :
The best place on earth for any racing driver is up here on the podium of the Le Mans 24 hours. After we had to retire last year, I really thought that our chance had gone by and that we would never get the opportunity again. Audi did everything they could for this to become possible this year, and they made it happen here, before your eyes."
Allan Mc Nish :
"We did it! The race was difficult, we went through all sorts of trouble, anf so it's marvelous to be on the highest step of the podium again. We had very strong opponents, and just like in 1998 we weren't the fastest in one lap, but we made no mistakes. On the other hand, I have never raced in Le Mans at such a high pace. It was a difficult challenge. But we did it again!"
Tom Kristensen :
The whole Audi Sport Team has been fantastic and supplied us with a potential winner car. We went 100% all the way through, and I really have to congratulate the team on the choice of tyres which allowed us to maintain the high pressure we exercised on the Peugeots. It paid off to give everything during the night to take the lead. More than the fact that this is the 8th win for Audi, I'll remember the outstanding efficiency of the team in this fantastic race.<ul><li><a href="http://www.lemans.org/24heuresdumans/pages/som_articles_gb.html">article taken from here</a></li></ul>
