The only petrol powered opposition, as shown in the Le Mans 24 during 2006 and 2007 was Pescarolo Sport. It is hoped that the first 6 places will be diesel super cars (Audi and Peugeot). But, clearly the Peugeot Sport Teams want them to be first, second and third to show the Audi R10 there is diesel opposition that can beat them. It will be awesome Saturday to Sunday.

As a fan of Audi for many years, there is only going to be one winner come Sunday afternoon. I wouldn't disagree SATAN. Either way diesel power will show the competition their legs, assuming their reliability stays as shown during the last 2 years and nobody crashes out in any of the 3 cars each team are using.

Official Webside Ohhh, I had totally forgot about the Le Mans race, thanks for reminding me. :-) I read in a newspaper a few weeks ago that it was questionable if Tom Kristensen would drive this year, so I'm happy that he's in the race. So far the Peugeots are doing the best, they lead in the three leading places so far in the initial races. "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me ID: 767130 ·

Audi raced there for the last 2 years, as a warm up before the Le Mans, and I had assumed Peugeot would be there as well? It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues ID: 767305 ·

The last diesel Peugeot was currently 7th. So the lead petrol is TeamOreca Matmut, at 6th, and the Pescarolo Sport in 9th place. But, very early days and all to play for!!

So, at the moment Tom Kristensen is driving Audi 2, only 65 seconds after the leading Peugeot. Go Tom, go! "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me ID: 768273 ·
