Bentley Finishes 1-2 at Le Mans
Didn't get a chance to catch the race over the weekend, but was cruising around the web and saw Bentley finished 1-2 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans over the weekend. The first time they have won there in 73 years, although their program did cease to be for awhile. A great result! The lead machine driven by Tom Kristensen, Guy Smith and Rinaldo Capello also set a new record of 377 laps over the 24 hours. The previous record was 375 set by Audi last year.

Drag racing is for fast cars. Solo 2 is for fast drivers.

what bentley won it?
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

The Audis running this year were not factory-backed.

They used some of the knowledge Audi acquired in their program, but the car is quite a bit different from the Audi's. It does use the Audi 3.6L V8 for power though.Originally posted by fast95pony

I can't believe I had to miss the race this year. Anyone know if Speed will be replaying it at all in the next few weeks or so?
You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

They aren't really though. The Audi and Bentley are competing in two different classes. Besides, guess who picked up the third place trophy?Originally posted by hjr
