French Loosers: we are "so sórrry" for another failure of your magnifecent, enormous, huge HDI technologie! Get back to reality, go to rallys, and let Audi play seriously.

Well, considering this is the 908's first time at Le Mans, I'd say kudos to Peugeot! Their car was faster in the qualifiers and had faster lap times in the race, but unfortunately for them, Audi's R10s, despite lower performance, had less fuel stops due to lower fuel consumption.

I watched the race and I can tell you that this time if it wasn't for a great strategy Audi played they had more luck winning this race then ever. Peugeot was awsome. Buy the way it is the second time they race. Peugeot accelerated faster because it has more power around 800 hp vs. 612 on Audi however not as reliable as Audi. But I can tell you Audi needs a new car for next year or they won't win. I adore both cars and the technology they have. You can't put Peugeot down for not winnig you should be amazed for what they were able to do. It is just going to get better. The Power of diesel, who would ever think.

Next year Audi should bring out a closed cockpit like the 908 because of rules change. This was an incredible race... it will only get better.

I presume that the audi is a more tractable, driveable car than the Peugeot (due to less power), nevertheless, a great result for both teams.

I think audi will come with a closed cockpit E85 car with higher boost pressure because of the E85's ability to handle it and more power. Should be a good race with the top cars running on alternate fuels.

Ofcourse both these cars (Audi and Peugeot) are impressive but don't forget that one of the reasons diesel wins, is because the regulations are kept favorable for them. Porsche already proved in the US that without artificial changes in the regulations, their little LMP2 beats the LMP1's on some tracks.
