2010 LeMans 24h - Audi Preview

It looks like it will be another battle of the oil-burners at the Circuit de la Sarthe this year with Audi going at it with hammer and tongs against the closed top Peugeots.  Should be some decent battles back in the GT category, but generally the GT class winner has been decided by "who can avoid battle damage from back markers," more than "who has the fastest car and runs the best race."  Should be fun

2009 24 Hours of LeMans - Peugeot Wins - Congrats to Marc Gene, Alexander Wurz and David Brabham!

Peugeot ends Audi's reign of victories at LeMans in a grand way, finishing first and second after 24 hours of hard running. Audi has enjoyed beating the Pescarolo's and other privateer teams for years, but with the factory Peugeot and possible Ferrari entries for 2010, their long held grip on victory at LeMans may be coming to a close. Congratulations to Peugeot, Marc Gene, Alexander Wurz, and David Brabham.

24 Hours of LeMans 2009 - Official Preview Video

As practice for the 2009 24 Hours of LeMans has begun, signaling that we are only days away from what should prove to be an epic battle between Audi and Peugeot.  If the 12 hours of Sebring gave us any insight into the racing game plan for LMP1, I would guess that we should expect a 24-hour sprint race between the top teams, with only a catastrophic breakdown or shunt causing the teams to stray from that course.

Likely the R15 will be a little slower than the 908 HDi DPFS, but will be more fuel-efficient and require fewer stops.  However if the Audi runs into trouble it will be harder for them to make up time on the faster Peugeot.

Here's an official preview courtesy of Crawford Photography.  Enjoy!
