Erik, no you're not. It's going in that direction... But it looks good, very good.

The R10 ran under different rules, 2009 rules give diesels less boost and a smaller restrictor compared to 2008 rules.

another debut at Sebring (after R8 & R10)
another victory :wo:
Watched a part of the race - was a very close one till the ~9th hour.
Most of the time you could see the Peugeot and Capello / Kristensen / McNish Audi No.2 within few seconds.
A sprint race over 12 hours :MTM:
Look forward to LeMans :hahahehe:

Great video with some agressive driving from Audi, amazing really. Those Pugs are FAST, makes me think that the R15 is not such a breakthough after all...this year's Le Mans will be one hell of a race that for sure.

Can't agree with you more, this years Le Mans will be out of the scale.

The McNish manouver when laping the 911 :MTM::burnout:
I knew it was a close race, BUT that close :applause:
Love to commentary: "... what a shame that we will not have a full season of Peugeot and Audi battling together, although quite clearly my stress level could not cope with that, probably neither could my vocal cords..."
Now i start to understand soem of Peugeot's comments:
Sebastien Bourdais: "McNish drives, as if he came from another star"
Bruno Famin, technical director 2008 Le Mans: "We lost against McNish"
It is the combination of Audi & McNish, Kristensen,... that make them such a strong force.
One last thing: the R15 is at the beginning of it's racing career, the Peugeot 908 in it's 3rd season. Wonder which one has more development potential :hahahehe:
It looks as if we will get a hell of a Le Mans this year. Potential for an epic race.

The Pug seems to be holding up VERY well agaisnt the R15, hopefully by the time the R15 get to Le Mans it will have a few tweaks in it, Sebring was WAY too close for a new car.

It depends - Mc Nish last stint (vs. Franck Montagny):
extended his lead by 24 seconds in 20 laps (from 40 sec to 1 min 4 sec.) :burnout:
- allowing them to make a "splash & dash" stop in the last stage of the race.
