    Mondays rain is now expected earlier, with heavy rain expected for the last racing hour on sunday.
    That puts Peugeot under extra pressure. They'll need a solid lead or Audi will use its wet performance to take the end.

    Great links in this thread. Thanks guys.
    Unfortunately I won't be there this year so a combination of radio le mans, limited TV coverage and these links will prove very useful over the coming weekend

    Cheers guys

    Sad to say I turned off the radio le mans commentary last night and listened to the video commentary.

    Hindie has taken one too many sips from the Audi cup imho. The free long term test cars etc have turned the guys into one-eyed audi supporters and its spoilt their commentary.
    Henri's 908 and petrol Judd powered cars ran 4th and 7th throughout. Might as well have been invisible for all John and co mentioned them.

    Porsches looking fast in GT2. Fingers crossed the red teams can claw a bit back with slick pit work.

    Anyone know about the protest against some Ferraris?

    Great drive by McNish, I'm always happy to see Audi's on top. :) This is going to be a great race.

    Second session starting now.
    Wonder if they'll fight for the pole this time?

    Looks like the lambo wont qualify. Pity.
    Would've liked to see it run some at least.
    Go Pescarolo!!

    Woot lambo back on track

    Well nice one by Sarrazin. I'm getting so pumped for the race, now. :)

    Should be a good one!

    A clear track makes such a difference to their chances with pole.
    Could've both been faster.

    Amazing lap bij Sarrazin. At one time he was 0,0072 seconds from pole! Big gaps from number two on. Perhaps both Audi and Peugeot are using a car to set an early pace.

    Really the only two clear laps.

    Yes, Riks guys have just the #84 with Leo Mansell, Pierre Ehret and Roman Rusinov.
    Starting 50th overall.

    Oreca protesting A-M for their direct-injection engine?

    This year is having as much protests as the vietnam war! :(

    Warm up sat 8:30 and the race 1500 hours.

    Both sides said that but both set their fastest guys up with a min fuel load a new set of rubber and the emptiest track they could find before turning them loose.
