Aaron CartwrightJun 13, 2011 Awe how cute, it's got a little Aston Martin front grill on it :)
Description: Both teams brought three cars to the race, presumably in the hopes of securing a 1-2-3 finish, but Audi had two cars knocked out of the race fairly early on. Both accidents came as a result of the Aud...Add Comments6
Phillip FitchewJun 14, 2011 But if the straights got shorter, that means you should be able to increase downforce as your straight-line-acceleration time is shorter, even if acceleration is more frequent.
Andy RogersJun 13, 2011 They're running less downforce because of those long straights if I'm correct. Sure it isn't the HUGE straight it used to be, but still enough to get the prototype cars to get past 200mph still (I think)
Aaron CartwrightJun 13, 2011 The Ferrari driver did exactly what he was told to do, and that was to stay on the racing line. The fact is the p1 cars are running very little downforce, if this happened in the older Audi he wouldn't have crashed. drivers not at fault here..
Trevor BrownJun 13, 2011 the Ferrari driver still didn't give him enough room.
Trevor BrownJun 13, 2011 In the first crash I agree that he should have been more careful, that was not a good place to try and overtake. But I think that the 2nd crash was the GT drivers fault, the Audi flashed it's lights and tried to pass the Ferrari on a straight, and
Jesus GuerraJun 13, 2011 Oh man that was awful when Audi crashed. Tire flew chasing the camera man
Kevin WatsonJun 14, 2011 It look like a f1 car now. He's safe and that what counts the most with me, to race another day.
Aaron CartwrightJun 13, 2011 Mcnish saw a slower Audi over the crest, he reacted, went around the slower Audi, not knowing the gt car was even there. not anyone's fault really, guess that's why they call them accidents. Oh and that's not a slow corner, great place to pass!
Will ConoverJun 13, 2011 Andrew. You couldn't be more wrong. The first crash was just a worst case scenario and the second was the Ferraris fault
Michael PalazzoJun 13, 2011 pieces of that car were flying everywhere, glad that guy was alright.
Adam JoeJun 13, 2011 I do not blame this accident on the GT driver. The Audi should not of passed where hes was trying to pass.
Description: They both conduct themselves in a sportsmanlike manner, and neither team would want to win simply because the other team had some bad luck. The remaining #2 Audi fought hard for the remainder of the r...Add Comments2
Lukas LebsJun 14, 2011 Haha same here goo vettes even though they didnt do so hot
Andy RogersJun 13, 2011 I actually wanted the 908s to beat the R18 partially because of the Audi fanboys here, but overall I didn't really care. No American teams competing up there. But congrats to Corvette Racing!
Kevin WatsonJun 14, 2011 It's racing guys.any corner or straight is a opportunity to pass someone. But good judgement wins the race.
Lukas LebsJun 14, 2011 I was going for the ZR1 didnt care much for these... Well ya i did but not as much
Jesus GuerraJun 13, 2011 Blind spot. It was no ones fault. Audi saw what seemed like a good opportunity and took.
Description: Audi didn't get the 1-2-3 finish they had wanted, but if you're only going to have one finish, it's not so bad to have it win. Peugeot will have to step up their game if they want to co...Add Comments7
Kevin WatsonJun 14, 2011 +1 this or NASCAR? Enuff said! Lol
Matt RobbinsJun 14, 2011 Yea my bad guys, I was talking about GT, which like Andy, is the only one I really care about.
Andy RogersJun 13, 2011 I think he meant to say who won in the GT categories. Which is really all I personally care about
Trevor BrownJun 13, 2011 Audi won the LMP1 category, and Chevy won the GTEPro category.
Ján KubeckaJun 13, 2011 I think someone needs to pay more attention, Audi won
David BrightJun 13, 2011 Uhh, Matt, it said Audi's last car won
Matt RobbinsJun 13, 2011 Way to say nothing about who won. Good job Chevy! USA USA USA!!!
Andy RogersJun 13, 2011 Both the 908 and R18 are just gorgeous!
Description: We have here a video of the #3 Audi, driven by Allen McNish, very dramatically hitting the wall. McNish was uninjured.Add Comments10
Kevin WatsonJun 14, 2011 Look at that guy with the boom mike he gets hit with carbon fiber parts at his legs and drops him,and if it wasn't for that barrier he would of died.
Alex NataleJun 13, 2011 That's the craziest crash I've seen all year! Good thing it was a Audi if it was and American car it would of bursted into flames!
Jason DykhoffJun 13, 2011 Lol the tire off the Audi was chasing a camera guy it's good that the driver is ok
Andy RogersJun 13, 2011 I'm surprised neither the driver or the people being showered by R18 parts were seriously hurt or killed
Andy KleschickJun 13, 2011 That's why you should always try to pass to the outside of a car. Even in running we pass on the outside so we dont get disqualified if someone knocks into us on purpose or not, just so that we won't get dq'ed or in this example, would crash.
John McFaddenJun 13, 2011 That wreck was very scary for Audi and the other wreck was also with a Ferrari so two ferraris took out two of three audis!
Jesus GuerraJun 13, 2011 You do have time to think but on that turn u don't. It's true it's all wat ur gut tells you
Michael RileyJun 13, 2011 I didnt watch the full race (wish I could've) but IMO Allen McNish chose the wrong time to pass. :/ and was going too fast for that corner anyways
