I will be there of course with my Audi RS6 MTM... Another friend with RS6 should also be there.
Race will be very interesting this year between Peugeot and Audi...
Frederic
nice, i hope i will meet you.
the race between peugeot and audi, i think peugeot has the better team this year. Audi is not a factory team anymore, so their budget is less then before.
also keep your eyes on the Aston Martin LMP1.
Officially, Audi is not there....
Unofficially, it is a different story !!!
I can't wait to see the Aston Martin LMP1...
Of course we will meet there...
Frederic
Can't wait for this years Le Mans. Last year was amazing...
Won't be able to get their to wath in real life, tv and internet will have to due. As Frederic I'm interested in the Astons Martin LMP1.
I'm away in the USA on Business... Hope I can find it on a TV station or Internet
I intended to be this year as I missed last year because of work and the same the year before. Well guess what, I won't be able to make it this year either. I fly to Florida for a famliy holiday on the 18th and need to sort everything at work prior to going so things runs smoothly.
Maybe 2010.
Search and you will find the truth.
Quite interesting: Tom Kristensen said in a danish interview that Audi engineers had calculated that with present regulations on diesel-powered engines it would be possible to make a petrol powered LMP1 racer which was as fast (throughout the race) as their current diesel. I think it's going to be nerve-wrecking this year
Audi - Vorsprung Durch Technik
My little finger heard the same at Audi Sport.
Basically the first team between Peugeot and Audi who makes a mistake will not be able to recover...
Expect a Formula 1 Grand Prix for 24 hours...
Pilots on the Audi side are much more senior and experienced compaird to Peugeot. Rain will help Audi because the Peugeot will not be as effocient because of dirt on the windshield
Frederic
so are they implying next year's car could be petrol- they have to debut a new car with closed cockpit per regs in 2010 no?
Past- A4, TT, S4
Present- R8 V10
I read that during some races the top team drivers from Peugeuot didn't even speak to each other...Originally Posted by Mr Balsen

So guys, it's that time of year once again. So for those of us who cannot see the race on the TV because our cable operator thinks we are more interested on watching some Argentina auto program(wich are VERY good, but come on....it's Le Mans) here's some free streaming.

So, best of luck to Audi and let's see the race eating a BBQ and drinking beer.
Saludos guys,
Javier
Those of you who are lucky enough to be there PLEASE take photos for us...THANKS!!
Bring it home Audi 1-2-3!!And we'll all toast to that!
This is the year to tie Ferrari and become legendary. The Audi Jaggernaut continues!

This year will probably be the closest Le Mans ever, can't wait!
Good luck to Audi!
Well, so far it is starting out like last year with the Pugs smoking the Audis by 3-4 seconds per lap. It is strange to me that the Pugs are so much quicker? I mean, the R15 is all new to exploit the new rules and yet, still struggles for speed like last year.
This may be the year Peugeuot finally does it. It is their race to lose.

Yeah, it's disappinting really a new car being smoked by a 3 year old car. I really thought Audi was going to be on top from the first moment but then again if Audi does play good like last year they might win this one and make history.Well, so far it is starting out like last year with the Pugs smoking the Audis by 3-4 seconds per lap.

With 15 hours left, there is only ONE Audi in the race! TK is 2nd and the other two Audis are 19th and 20th!!! Not looking good... this really could finally be the year for Bourdais. Kid deserves it if he gets it, it is his hometown after all.
