Overnight, each team lost a car and, this morning, the race finished with Audi winning and Peugeot 2nd.
One of the greatest endurance events in motorsports has finished its 75th running. The latest chapter - transformed the past couple of years by diesel power with more torque and better fuel economy - continues to improve the breed.
The “official” website of the race should be in the running for Worst Sports Website Ever. I won’t even waste your time by linking to it.
The most fun was the blogging from the circuit by the crew from the Guardian Unlimited.
AFAIK, the Audi TDI diesels were running on Shell biodiesel!
