Alright, yard mowed, weeds pulled, guests entertained, raccoon not caught after brief attempt, friend debriefed from date with new girl, dinner cooked.
I can actually watch the race — just in time to see Capello stuff the leading Audi into a tire wall.
it looked like the wheel may have, and I know it sounds wacky, come off prior to the car's apparent spinning.
They've just carted the Audi away dangling from a tractor.
...
no, wait, Capello's trying to figure out how to drive the 3-wheeled car back to the pits...
Yep, looks like the wheel fell off, causing the crash. That's a hell of a note.
Well... this is Audi, so it'll take them what- like 10 seconds to repair the whole damn car, and they do have a 8 lap lead over the Peugeot...
It's not looking good for Corvette now- 3rd in class with one car down. They need a miracle. Like for the English reliability to kick in.
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 think the #2 Audi's done for. Go Peugeot! I've heard talk that the 908s might be playing possum; hiding their true speed until the final hours. It sounds a rather silly strategy to me, but if so, now would be a good time to pressure the remaining Audi, thanks to the numerical odds being suddenly and miraculously in Pug's favor.
I heard one of our commentators say the Aston have historically had trouble in the final hours.
Well...the Audi reclaimed the lead, and will most likely keep it, because there's a rather large lead over the two Peugeots.
Fortunately the Corvette claimed 2nd place and the only thing separating it and first is the 009 Aston.

Either the Pugs are pushing, or one of their drivers had a 'hiccup' - one of them just had an opposite-lock moment heading to what i think was the start/finish straight.
Pug's team director also just said their strategy has not changed. "we're waiting," he said with a little smile.
One of the American commentators said if Peugeot wins, it will be the result of weird events... Two Audis going awry certainly sets a precedent for weirdness.
