Ok, to be honest, I dunno what to write. I just wanted to vent my joy and excitement about the 24 hrs. of Le Mans which are going t be held today and tomorrow. Will be interesting to see whether the Bentley boys can finally win after being beaten twice by them. But Audi withdrew it's manufacturer support, so all Audis are private cars.
In the GTS class it will be interesting to see how the battle between the Ferrari 550 Maranello and the Corvettes will go.
Ahh, well. IN my eyes LM is one of the few real races on the planet, most of the other races are fake and I dunno................ bring back the old racing times *sigh*
Enjoy the race friends, it will be on Eurosport for several hours.

Things not looking good for the #50 corvette (Ollie Gavin/ Andy Pilgrim/ Kelly Collins) - been brought into the pits twice already (20 minutes in) and now been pulled into the garage to allow more people to work on the car. The Ferraris are still leading the class - Peter Kox (+Enge + Jamie Davies) heading Darren Turner (+Anthony Davidson + Kelvin Burt).
Radio le mans has now died on me again! NO more info... grr!

hey Senninha! Yeah the race is really cool. Unfortunately the Audi of Biela/Mc Carthy and Salo has run out of fuel. AFTER 2 hours!!! D'OH!!!! So the two Bentleys are leading two Audis and a Dome. In the GTS class I'm happy to announce that the 550 Maranellos are leading the whole way but well, 24 are pretty long..... Well, folks, Senn and me will keep you updated

Well, folks, Senn and me will keep you updated Umm, some update! Hey, just kidding! Results were pretty much as expected, with the Audi Coupé/Bentleys winning. I agree with Glendo though, those cars are indeed beautiful!!
