I didnt get to watch the end, but what I watched all day Saturday....this race is becoming boring at least the LMP1 class. With the Toyotas out, there was no real contender. Audi ran away with the class.

I love this race too, but until someone can contend with Audi.  :-\

Was fun watching the vette's and Ferrari's go at it.

I guess it depends on your POV. True, it was only Audi's up front (like the 80's when it was only Porsches) but WHICH Audi would win was still enough to keep me watching. The "old" guys vs. the defending champions from last year who needed to prove they deserved to win. The battle between conventional diesel and diesel hybrids (I'll be honest, I expected the hybrid to break and the #3 or #4 to win, but apparently Audi built a decent system).

Audi has won 11 of the last 13, nothing new. The other teams cannot compete with them, even though the car has changed at least 3 different times. [evil]

That they did and I thought they might take over, but Audi came back strong. The TSO30 looks promising.

I'm still stubbling through the race on the DVR.


I've been avoiding the internet, cause I didn't want to know results...but that only worked for so long. Spoilers got me eventually  [laugh]


Sucks that the yotas were out...and they took out the delta  [laugh]. It was almost comic the way he just pointed at the wall and it hit it. I'm sure it would of been the same with any other car...it just looked funnier with the delta.

The Audi hybrid is cool. The sound of the flywheel in the cabin is very interesting  [thumbsup]

just goes to show TDI/hybrid system in a car would be the cat's meow  [thumbsup]
