Le Mans 24 Hours 2009

[996GT2]

2 of the Audi entrants have already crashed and are pretty much out of contention. The #2 car is officially retired, and the other #3 car is some 42 laps behind.

#2 Audi R15 TDI Crash

#3 Audi R15 TDI Crash

The Only R15 in contention right now is the #1 car driven by Kristensen, McNish, and Capello. It's currently in 2nd place, with the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP in 1st, 3rd, and 4th. The Peugeot is about 2-3 seconds faster per lap than the R15 TDI, which is kinda disappointing since last year's 908 HDi FAP was also 2-3 seconds faster per lap than the old R10 TDI.

Peugeot was going to contend for the championship regardless, but man Audi is making it easy for them aren't they?

Too bad Peugeot can't make cars anyone wants.

Yeah, Audi is much better at making lifeless blobs and mass producing them

lifeless blob, you say?

I'm rooting for Aston Martin anyway... for a podium at least.

Rain is predicted around dawn. Should be interesting.

I want to know what kind of cleaner they use for the windows and body. That's some super bug/grime remover.

I saw an R8 yesterday, it wasn't as impressive as to... say... a porsche.

Peugeot seems to have 100 more HP then Audi. I was looking and it said that the R10 was 700hp, and the R15 was 600hp. hmm

Audi #1 came in 3rd not too bad. Not as good as 1. but hey lol. They said they had some issues. and don't really know why #2 crashed.

 

[PlasmaBomb]

Car #2 seemed really loose under braking and lost the back end.
Car #3 ran a bit wide and being out on the dirty part of the track couldn't brake sufficiently. Looks like a fairly low speed crash though.
