Alright guys, I'm out. I'm going to get some rest so I can wake up early to watch the finish.

 

A lot of these drivers are looking absolutely spent. More so than I remember from the last few years. Even the Speed commentators sound like they're exhausted.

 

Now the IMSA Matmut RSR is out of the running in GT2 as well. No good for a Porsche guy.

 

Corvette battle is very entertaining and Peugeot is looking set to take it, but which one?

 

it was a good little battle but fresh tyres are usually a safe bet

it would be nice to see bourdais take it, it's literally his home race and his F1 season hasn't had many high points.

surprised the audi guys had so many errors, although their lack of pace made the result fairly clear early on as long as the weather cooperated with Peugeot

i think we are the only ones that have been up all night watching, this has been a tradition of mine since before i could walk

 

Its been a tradition of mine since I was in high school. Speed has only been showing 8+ hrs of coverage for the last ten years or so (that I had access to at least).

As far as the Audi issues, I think its down to the fact that they didn't run the car this year besides Sebring. Yeah, they beat the lions there, but the Peugeot has been perfected primarily for Le Mans over three years.

I'd prefer Bourdais to take the win, but I really like Wurz and Brabham as well.

 

I wanted an Audi to take LMP1, but I'll settle for Brabham since I like him as an ALMS driver as well.

 

^ We'll see, with this caution the two Peugeots may be bunched up with an hour to go. Will team orders play a roll...probably, but lets hope not.

 

Big congrats to Peugeot and Team Corvette! The interview with the Corvette chief was touching.
