Good battle on the sharp end b/t the Audi and Peugeot. Interesting forced error by Fessler in the Peugeot - the Pug has straight line speed to burn, but Davidson in the Audi rode his ass in the corners until Fessler overshot an apex. Good to see that even the pros feel the heat!

Robert Kaufman, the driver of the Ferrari that almost killed Rocky has been ejected from the race.

Fassler is the Audi driver. Davidson is the Peugeot driver.

Why? The 24 is WAY more interesting. I DVR'd it, but will likely fast forward through most of it. According to the twitterverse, it was a pretty crappy pair of races.

So Dumas makes a comment about the large amount of untalented drivers and then his car (driven by Rocky) is totally annihilated by one. I can see an ACO rules change for GTE.

I don't think there will be many rule changes. They may increase the speed of the GTEs or decrease the speed of the LMPs, but I doubt there will be any rules brought down on the Ams.

The speed differential is the big problem, but that is what Le Mans is all about.

In reply to Maroon92: Watched the last couple of laps. Be sure to watch the Will Power move on the apron.

Holy crap, the surving Audi just posted a lap quicker than the fasting qualifying lap.

Driving-Miss-Bourdaisy is pretty quick in the Pug, but Lotterer has him on fastest lap of the race by a thousandth or two.

Corvette won't be returning.

Pretty poor day for Felbermayr also.

That was a big hit.

The Corvette is definitely out; way too much damage to the rear of the car. The Porsche took several hits on the driver's side; hopefully he's OK.

Wurz out of the running. Staying out of the pits is the key to victory.

5 hours left, who's gonna take it?

By the way, neither Audi incident involved an Amateur.

Beautiful cars as well. Had written them off and they sneak into third. Good to see a Ford GT on the podium.
