Pretty amazing if you ask me. Glad to see a manufacturer "pushing the envelope."

Your thoughts?

Le Mans is no longer at the sharp end of the stick in their upper classes....in fact, there is no sharp end of the stick anywhere in the prototype classes and I see no end in sight.
GT 2 & 3 is still some good racing.

Once again with no competition, Audi wins by spending a lot of money.

Fair enough, but its still a diesel and they did more laps than any other victor before. So they were not racing against the field, but against history.
