You know, as much as I'd love to see Tom and Audi win, I don't think it's going to be likely this year.
The only thing that makes me feel better is that we still have over 12 hours left, and it's not over til' the fat lady sings.

#9 is off! But nothing too serious, it seems.

One of the Courages is off I believe.

Peugeot is taking too much time with their pitstops and stopping more often, but on outright pace they're better than Audi... This will be interesting.

with 2 safty cars is this gonna give McNish the advantage?
 
Well he'll be able to close the gap with the safety car period, but as soon as they go back to green I think the 908 will just start to walk away again.
 
This is great racing, after the crash at the start, I'd given up on the Number 10 Charouz Racing Lola-Aston Martin, but its come back all the way from 44th+ to 15th after the Dome ran into trouble.
It seems that GT1 Aston V12 engine has come in handy.

Uh oh, the Dome is falling down the field rapidly.
 
#8 908 is in the pits with battery trouble. The Villeneuve fan in me hopes it won't happen with the #7, but the Audi fan in me hopes it does...
 
I missed most of the first few hours but I saw some highlights and the one that sticks out most of how the 908 blew past the R10. I knew they were running a few seconds faster than Audi but I didn't know they were that fast. I wish there was a 908 running in the ALMS. I would be good to see Audi, Peugeot and Porsche battling out.
 
ok gang,

it appears to me that 2/3 Peugeots have had this liquid nitroegen treatment where the car is sent inside the garage.

Im pretty sure this will be done to the lead #7 car and im pretty sure it will give enough time for the #2 Audi to catch up.

UPDATE!!!!

Just like i predicted we are seconds apart.......Go AUDI!
