    with not much to loose, quick Nic has taken the bit between the teeth, 3.24.3 as the fastest lap so far. Watch his progress, (if number 7 stays alive)

    Anyone notice that the works Peugeot has xBox 360 sponsorship on its side while the Pescarolo Peugeot has Playstation? All that's missing is a second privateer car with Nintendo sponsorship and we'd finally see which console is superior.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    I'm kind of disappointed now that I can't see an epic battle between Audi and Peugeot for overall victory like last year, but there is time left so hope remains.

    #3 Audi and Indianapolis' gravel pit have an affair me thinks...

    They like each other a lot.

    I think the #3 should have gravel trap bulldozer duties.

    It's not a German race. Audis have problems, only one 997 is still running in GT2. Just LMP2 Porsches are OK.

    The Audis are just too new. They should have had more testing.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    That's clear. Only one race done before and so on. But the guys make mistakes too, which is rather surprising.

    A couple of the phrases from our broadcast:

    'You can now see a #13 Lola-Aston Martin which was entered last year by Antonin Charouz and is now driven by Alexander Wurz'
    'Colin Collins...'
    'Last year Audis had a 12-cylinder V8'
    'Lamborghini Muciegralos'

    Hahaha, 12-cylinder V8s, those are the best kind.

    Audi didn't ahve much choice re the R15.
    They had to come up with somethign that was competitive with the 908s.

    I didn't catch Sebring, but did Audi experience any problems with the R15s, there?
