Re: Fifth Victory for the Audi R10 TDI ([email protected])
Sweet vindication!
Yeah George, I watched the race. It was on "live" in the Eastern time zone on Speed TV. I quote live becaues there was about a 5 minute difference between the TV feed and the on-line ALMS provided "leaderboard". To make a long story short, I knew the finish order before the broadcast concluded.
Too bad I couldn't convince anyone to take a bet on an Audi 1-2 finish.
Speaking of Audi 1-2 and vindication, how sweet was that?!?
I thought it was a great race to watch - not just P1, but the GT classes as well. P2 is a little weak as a class, but the Penske team runs well with the Porsche.
You're right, Weaver was a little too aggressive. Wait, he was simply out of his mind! This is a 2 3/4 hour race, and he tried to win it in the first turn. WTF?
Actually, my suspicious mind was screaming foul. It almost looked lke he was trying to take the Audi's out of the race to clear the road for the other Dyson car.
Nah, couldn't be..
(Remember, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.)
What an amazing drive by both of the Audi cars. McNish just walked away from the field during his stint and Biella and Pirro snatched victory from the jaws of defeat under almost unbelievable circumstances considering the relative short duration of the race.
Obviously, the track suited the R10 perfectly, but the allowances given to the Dyson Lolas kept them more competitive than they would have been. Having said that, it was clear that the only thing that really kept them close were the Yellow Flag laps. In fact, the last yellow made the final 10 minutes a little too close for comfort. Weaver was poised to win it if the Audi team had bobbled at all.
Fortunately, the R10 remains undefeated. On to Mosport!
