But they did finish din't they? With all 3 cars I might add. Sad that People only remember Peugeot for their 2010 effort and nothing else.....

I think most remember them for at least beating Audi since Bentley did it.

Point is though, you mentioned it along with the years Peugeot actually won (even saying "Peugeot has actually won Le Mans unlike Toyota") and I was pointing out that 2011 wasn't a year that they won.
 
I think right now the main problem with the LMP1-L car is that Usain Bolt can run faster than it. Some say Bolt is the hybrid system in the Audi.

Not the point, you didn't have the facts, no reason to plug some trite before you did when you should have waited like everyone else. Also not talking about the #8, my issue was with your statement on the #7.

The #7 was completely off the radar for nearly 15 minutes and was reported to have stopped at Arnage. Read into that what how you will. I did and it turned out that I was right about the #7's situation.

Yeah they lost, but only by 13 seconds. It's still an exceptional finish non the less.
 
Oh great, more promotion for a stupid movie nobody cares about.

And I thought FOX had some painfully annoying promotions. Actually, this is far worse then all of them combined.

That's great, once again the issue is that others are actually reporting and making factual statements rather than hoping their predictions pan out no matter how likely or unlikey they are.

Yeah, I wouldn't call it always either, either for Toyota or Peugeot, but they surely felt prey this year to the same thing that killed Peugeot in 2010: German Panzer tanks that aren't as fast but are reliable as hell on the limit.

The Audis aren't invincible. Last year the #1 lost many laps (and probably a win) through reliability issues and this year the #1 lost some laps as well. But they do field 3 cars (or more) and their reliability is as good as anybody's, so even if they don't have the fastest car, they always have a good chance.
 
Well, there is the far less interesting fight for fourth overall between the 14 Porsche and the 8 Toyota, who are now on the same lap.

Edit: Seriously, the announcer just mistaked the Rebellion for one of the Ligiers. The hell...
 
That's unlucky about Wolfgang reip though I wanted him to do well. Just noticed he retired first which sucks.

They're putting everything back together, let's hope that means "Fixed bro, floor it!".

I would trust them to fix it quite well, considering this is the same team that rebuilt an entire rear end after being punted by Anthony Davidson a few years back.

The mere fact that they're actually there means they can fix it quite well, at least better than anyone else in the world 👍
 
Man, these past couple hours have been chock full of crazy race developments!

You're nitpicking.
 
Toyota up to 4th. They could still get a podium 👍.
 
Isn't it funny how these multi-million dolar monster machines packed with incredibly advanced technology and capable of inhuman speeds around a track...need a JCB to be put back on the road? :lol:
 
As usual, everything shakes up again as dawn breaks.. Haha!

They were lucky that they were only a lap behind the 14. A lot more would have to happen for it to even be possible. As much as I'd love for it to happen, my hope and optimism for the team just shattered after we lost the 7 car while it was leading.

As Justin Bieber says: Never say never :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
 
Can someone please summarize what has happened so far? My cable is down (I have TWC, not a surprise) and I have not been able to watch the race.

Specialization is for bugs... And incredibly expensive vehicles.
