You really need a new computer.
I suggest stealing one.

Flat Out
the race was pretty solid, almost as good as last year. there was a great battle that went down to the very end with the lizzards, corvette and M3 crossing the line nose to tail. the LMP was a good fight for most of the race. the highcroft started from the back of the grid for reasons i missed, but made up the ground quickly. it was actually looking like the mazda might be able to win, but sadly it beached itself in corner 4 with like 20 minutes to go. sad. the only thing i was disappointed in was the number and length of cautions. they seemed to go around behind the safety car for 8-10 laps, or more. way too long.
otherwise, it was another great day spent out at a beautiful track. it was chilly and very windy, but sunny and clear. i havent looked at my shots yet, but i will start posting some over the next day or two.
Honor. Courage. Commitment. Etcetera.

The online coverage stayed on the massive GT battles 90% of the time, and rightfully so since the LMP classes are so lacking.

Hehe. That's beggining to be my new plan. Thinking of picking up a bigscreen while I'm at it.

Endurance-Info reports that Peugeot brass is putting the screws to Quesnel to come clean about the LM engine debacle ASAP. Article was linked to Ten-Tenths.com's forum, but the forum seems to be down for now.

well informed sources told me that it was actually German technology, used in the Pugs, that brought them to their knees. The Mahle pistons were at fault.

Bad batch or flawed design?

isn't the design the same as last year? Not sure, just asking.

Pushed to destruction.
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.

There should be some kind of gauge for that.

Famin said that track condtions, weather condtions, and having to make up time from unexpected problems and the pace of the Audis lead to the issues. In otherwords, a perfect storm for failure.
It also doesn't help that Audi was--per their own PR--holding back and not running 100% at Le Mans by their own admission because of reliablity and fuel consumption concerns.
It seems that Audi hoped that a competive pace would scare Peugeot in to pushing too hard. Initally, it didn't, but when the #3 retired, Peugeot started to up the ante, then they had minor problems(electrial on the #1 and collision damage/half-shaft failure on the #4). Audi kept up a steady pace that kept them close enough to the 908s that when they had problems the caught and passed them or pushed them into destruction.
In all several factors came into play as Famin said, as well as the fact that they threw their strategy out the window and perhaps pushed and hammered when they shouldn't have.
