Default Audi 1, Peugeot 2 & 3!

Tom Kristensen's 8th victory at Le Mans. McNish's first win with Audi.

What a great race!

Great race... Peugeot made a great run at it. Did anyone else see the graphic comparing the number of stops needed and time spent in the pits? There was over a 9 minute difference between Audi and Peugeot. Won the race for Audi.

Default Watched most of the night--->

feel like I should mount one of my Audi flags from Sebring on car window and drive around with it like the Nascar crowd here in the South does. ---- Errr.... maybe not :-)

Excellent race! And I'm very happy for Jacques. It proves he can still drive with the best.

Default He would be only the second person to pull off a tri-frcta...

Indianapolis
Le Mans

The only other person to do it is Graham Hill.

Yes it is a very limited club. I hope he comes back to Le Mans and gets the win.

Default Yes. It is disgusting to see that, and to see how much ***-I mean Atherton chokes

the Audis over here. About a 9 min. diff in pit stops even over the Peugeot. It was a bit of a nailbiter none the less. I also watched most of the night.

Default I'm not a big JV fan, but he did account well for himself. He's still got it, no doubt.

His interviews were pleasant too. He was really scratching his head over that last pit stop by Manassian.

Default Just what the hel was Pewjueax thinking letting Manassssssiassssiannn stay out on slicks?

and then changing over to full wets?!??!

That made zero sense. I know Nick made the call for staying on slicks, but c'mon somebody had to overrule him on that one.
