what a bloody NIGHTMARE for Audi...!!!!!!

steveb · 14-06-09, 11:33 AM

Sure is at least it looks like we will get 3rd also argh eurosport and adverts !!!!!!

quattrokid · 14-06-09, 12:42 PM

19 mins to go and still in 3rd place.....as we finished in 1999 !!

oh well beaten fair and square this year. R15 aerodynamics too complicated with ingestion of debris blocking cooling ducts etc...!!

next year perhaps after another years development we will be back on the top step.

PeterB · 14-06-09, 01:17 PM

What happened then?, for us plebs without satellite.

quattrokid · 14-06-09, 02:25 PM

we lost.

steveb · 14-06-09, 03:53 PM

It was on the web here, http://www.justin.tv/tomcio6 We lost to the french No 1 audi ws the closet in 3rd but had probs with overheating (rubbish in the air ducts) and suspension rose joints

Booty · 14-06-09, 09:40 PM

I can smell deja a vu here , back to the mid eighties when a certain French mid engined rally car with big wings whooped Audis as big time, and then kept on doing it. Pedestals are great but every now and then you have to get off it to clean the damn thing.

quattrokid · 15-06-09, 11:02 AM

nice summary there.

good to see Aston finish forth but WHERE did the 2 R10's end up!!! they should have been up at the front of the field but seems theyre driven by private teams with novices at the helm...

did you see under the safety car, one of them STILL managed to pitch it into the wall

roll on next year.....

5live lady:"hi Alan, how are you?"
Alan:"Im great thanks, le mans has a great atmosphere I love being here"
5live lady:"I can imagine, didnt you win last year?"
Alan:"Yes I did, it was my 2nd win infact"
5live lady:"So are disappointed to not be racing this year?"
Alan:"erm, I am, Im racing for Audi in the number 1 car, Im qualified second"
5live lady:"Oh god! Im so sorry I should have known that! of course you are, sorry"
Alan:"Thats quite okay"
5live lady:"Its a long race, how do you stay awake for 24 hours? It must be very tiring driving for that long"
Alan:"Theres actually 3 of us driving each car, we take it in shifts of about 2 hours or more at a time, basically the length of a formula 1 race at a time!"
At this point 5live man came into the interview to try and save it from total failure

5live said:
5live man:"So Alan, how is the weather there, you must get very hot? "
Alan:"Yes its pretty warm here already its going to be very warm during the day time parts of the race, I only really drink at the pit stops though"
5live man:"Yes I can imagine it gets very hot with 3 of you in the car!"
Alan:"...We're not all in the car at the same time! we swap over at the pit stops and inbetween stints we try and sleep a little..."

Im so sorry I should have known that! of course you are, sorry" Alan:"Thats quite okay" 5live lady:"Its a long race, how do you stay awake for 24 hours? It must be very tiring driving for that long" Alan:"Theres actually 3 of us driving each car, we take it in shifts of about 2 hours or more at a time, basically the length of a formula 1 race at a time!" At this point 5live man came into the interview to try and save it from total failure 5live said: 5live man:"So Alan, how is the weather there, you must get very hot? " Alan:"Yes its pretty warm here already its going to be very warm during the day time parts of the race, I only really drink at the pit stops though" 5live man:"Yes I can imagine it gets very hot with 3 of you in the car!" Alan:"...We're not all in the car at the same time! we swap over at the pit stops and inbetween stints we try and sleep a little..." __________________ [FONT] '76 Leyland Princess 2200 HLS '79 Scirocco storm '84 WR '89 coupe quattro '01 A2 1.4 TDI SE '14 A3 1.4 TFSI COD [/color][/size][/font]
