Napoleon Bonaparte, a man who conquered most of Europe during his prime, knew a thing or two about warfare. However, being a pragmatist at heart he declared "I do not want a good General, I want a lucky one". That expression could easily serve as a motto for the 2010 Sebring 12 Hours. Several parties used their 'get out of jail free card'
"Blow,Winds and crack your cheeks! Rage! Blow! You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout til you have drenched our steeples, drown'd the cocks!" I did not actually see King Lear out in the storms that hit Road Atlanta during the middle of the Petit Le Mans last Saturday but I saw plenty of candidates for the role of the Fool, me for one. Sitting
" A Rainy Night in Georgia, A Rainy Night in Georgia, It seems like it's Raining all over the World" We had dodged the monumental thunderstorms for most of the day but eventually the monsoon hit Road Atlanta and turned the track into a lake in places. The lightning was also an issue as no one wanted corner workers and other personal working
When two tribes go to war, one is all you can score.............................. Well they finally did it, Peugeot won the Big One. The 2009 24 Heures du Mans. The Lion has roared. The number 9 Peugeot 908 Hdi-FAP driven by Alexander Wurz, Marc Gene and David Brabham covered 382 laps of the 13.629 kilometre circuit, 5206 kliks in total or 3,235 miles
Day 2 of the 2009 Le Mans 24 Hours and Day 2 of the scrutineering process. This is a form of torture for the teams who hate the disturbance to their preparations for the race. The idea is that the cars are taken from the pit boxes on the circuit by road to the middle of the City of Le Mans, which is nightmare of traffic jams and tram related hold ups
Any colour as long as it is blue..................that's how qualifying ran at the LMS Spa race today. Not entirely unexpected a Peugeot was fastest, in fact it was debutant, Simon Pagenaud who snatched pole position. 2:01.056 was good enough to nose ahead of Alexander Wurz in the other Peugeot, so an oil burner front row. There is a feeeling around
We'd like to congratulate the four class winners from the 2009 12 hours of Sebring, no doubt one of the most grueling motorsports challenges on the planet. First in the P1-class went to the number 2 Audi driven by the all-star cast of McNish, Kristensen and Capello, in what must be a dream debut for the R15. The lone surviving P2 finisher was the
Less than 2 hours to go and this race is still wide open.... The Radio Le Mans commentators think that this car may be in a slightly better position when it comes to pitstop timing, to the end of the race... we'll see.... in the meantime we can enjoy this photo from earlier today.... care of John Brooks. :Rod
Earlier this week, famed Sportscar author Janos Wimpffen presented the epic battle of Sebring 1970 , one of the most famous runnings of this Florida endurance classic... well it appears that we have another story for the history books. At the seven(ish) hour mark, the top two cars are separated by only 1.6 seconds, with the Peugeots and the Audis perfectly
What does the expression Hybrid conjour up when applied to cars...........politically correct, save the whales, eat Muesli etc. etc. Well with typical French style or elan as they would say Peugeot have blown that cliche wide open At Silverstone last evening they unveiled their take on "le concept Hybrid".........combining the stunning 908
