I didn't get to watch as much as I would have liked but it was still exciting. Congratulations to Audi on 11 out of 13!

while this years race was great,

last years battle between Peugeot and Audi was so dramatic and exciting that the Le Mans `11 remains unbeaten,..that was epic

1998 was the high water mark for me; coincidentally the first time I watched (I was 9 years old), and I had the opportunity to see many of the same cars at Petit Le Mans a few months later.

Agreed! This year was kind of boring with the race basically given to Audi.

Long live the epic battles that Audi and Peugeot gave us! This is the end of a very historic era of motor racing.

I feel terrible for Kristensen and Capello, they deserved better than 2nd this time around. Lotterer is a beast behind the wheel though, I'd like to see him take Capello's spot in that car...even though there's zero chance of that happening.

Wow, they gave it all they had even though they weren't technically competing for anything.

There was some good action at certain points in the race, but for the most part it was kind of boring. I'd have to say the Deltawing was the coolest part of the race and it is to bad they where taking out by one of the LMP 1 cars.
