Default 24 Hours of LeMans

What did everyone think. I personally thought it was a great race. Congrats to Peugeot with the overall win.

It was entertaining, but I wouldn't say competitive. Peugeot won by six laps, I believe, but that's okay. Their car LOOKS way cooler It's also nice when somebody who has won eight years in a row finally gets knocked off their perch.

Corvette also won by miles. They went out with a bang. Cool.

And how could Ferrari not win with ten cars in GT2? Seriously, though, Mika Salo has skills. The best Ferrari won.

I need to start drinking some of that Finnish water ... or even Brazilian water. Those places churn out great drivers.

True as the old saying goes if you wanna win get a Fin. But I knew Audi was gonna be slow cuz of their lack of testing for the R15

Well Audi may of done better if they could of kept the cars on the track..
Agree that ties directly into testing and getting the new car set up.

I am glad that some one Else won.. Also that the Top cars are no longer Gas powered..

good to see peugeot win, got to see those cars up close at sebring and its a work of art, and corvette goin in a more production type class its better for them and the other clases really dont make much sense.

Did anyone really expect the corvettes to not win? All I've seen over the last few years is domination by the C6Rs.

It isn't hard to dominate when you're the only one in your class, which has been the case with Corvette in ALMS for the past five years or so. LeMans had six entries in the GT1 class this year. Pathetic and sad. Hopefully the economy will turn around soon and maybe we can see a respectable number of cars in every class.

eh, aston did run a full season or two within the past 5 years and one of the years (I think it was 2006) aston gave them an asswhooping throughout most of the series. however, I agree. corvette has really been the only car to compete fully, its hard not to win.

the vets have been the only cars in their class in the ALMS. Prodrive did have two 550 Marinello's and then two Astion Martins the next season.
