Thanks SplitVision8, simple as that...

I wonder if Bentley are going to release this model now. As a celebration of their victory at LeMans.

I happen to know that some Belgian drove a Pagani Zonda at LeMans. Anybody seen any pictures of that one. (They didn't finish)

Anthony kumpen, didn't even finish? Shit, I would like to know what happend to him. Ok, I didn't think the pagani would win, it wasn't even fare if you compare it to the Audi & Bentley. A shame they didn't finish.

Correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't the Bentley car just a modified Audi?

i seem to recall that mentioned somewhere?

Nope, completely different class. Closed cockpit, different engine, as well. I don't think there was any sharing of engineering at all.

Just for giggles, if you want all of the gory details about the particular cars running around in the Le Mans series, a good site I've found to be pretty handy is www.mulsannescorner.com. The site is chock full of pictures and commentary pointing out the various details on many of the past and previous racing cars, and gives you a bit of a basic overview of how certain features affect the car aerodynamics.

I visit that site on a regular basis, it's a damn good read.
The explanation of how the Merc CLR flipped over is pretty good. It's not the exact truth, but a very educated guess.

Here is a nother site I like(it's my homepage).
Lots of good info and very good pictures.

Yes, I love that site, too. The car pictures are especially good on fastdetails.com. I have a lot of the wallpapers from that site cycling on my computer.
