Way to go Audi! Amazing performance, no engine failures, great driving. What an amazing effort by Audi. Take notes, PAG.

I wonder why the TV coverage spent an disproportionate amount of coverage on the LMP1 class, and second-classed the GT group this year. Barely much coverage through the night on Porsche. They also seemed overwhelmed with the Corvette vs Ferrari fight. Congrats to Corvette as well - nicely done. What was up with Ferrari this year?

Hats off to Patrick Long and the Petersen/White Lightning/Porsche team for first in class win. He did quite a recovery job himself!

996Yayo is infamous around these parts
the same thing happened at Sebring earlier this year...

- Audi took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd overall
- a C5R (1st in GTS class, 4th overall) beat out a 575 GTC (2nd in class, 15th overall)
- there was only one 360 Modena at Sebring, and he got his @ss kicked by finishing 7th in the GT class (bested by 6 Porsches i might add...some were RS's, others RSR's)

it sucks that they didn't show more GT footage at Le Mans. just the fact GT3's usually over-populate the races makes them that much more competitive and fun to watch.
