Le Mans

did anyone see the 24 hr race? Tom Kristensen made history by winning 4 times in a row, needless to say he's a dane.

I'm more of a F1/Cart/IRL watcher myself but I saw highlights of it, pretty good race. And how ironic...Bently's won again..

[nampigai]

yeah well I'd prefer it to be Audi but what the hell...

[GhostHunter]

Bently's been there what, two years? Damn succesful so far, unfortunaly I really do despise series where one team/guy wins (I.E - M.S in F1), that's why I watch CART.

[nampigai]

actually I believe it's the first year since I don't know when Bentley was in Le-Mans. I just love Audi, however they didn't have any company team in the race this year. However I agree on Schumacher, I don't like the bastard but he's the best driver no doubt about it.

[GhostHunter]

Uh he's sure as Hell not the best, Jaun Montoya is way more skilled, but alas, no Ferrari! Same with Jaquas Villenuve, unfortunaly, his career is totaled...

[nampigai]

I agree that the Ferrari is an awesome racer, but he has to be a good driver as well.

[GhostHunter]

M.S is no doubt a good drivver, but he is not the best in F1, Villenuve could beat him if he had the car, Montoya can beat him if he had a Ferrari (Hell he's beaten him with the unreliable Williams countless times) and a few others. What I enjoyed was watching Da Matta fail in the Toyota when the car was making unbeleivable success for a two year car.

??? I'm confused the Bentley driver Dindo Capello was racing in the 24-hour Le Mans is Italian not Danish.

_{sort of off topic}

While we are on racing Qatar could become the first Middle East nation to stage a MotoGP next season. While Formula One is staging its first Grand Prix in Bahrain next year.

[nampigai]

there are three drivers for each car

[GhostHunter]

Yeah and Mark Blundell was on one of the Le Man Teams that placed second in last race, which is odd because he never did good in CART of F1 ???. Also, Max Papis, former CART driver, nice guy who could never get a reliable car, but he was good, damn shame...

[quoudam72]

Ok I understand now I thought the driver you mentioned Namp was on another racing team. :-[

[Cybopache]

Bentley did win their last victory in 1930 I think

[bryorama]

[gryphon]

What did the first Porsche to rank come in at? I used to be a fan of anyone in a Porsche, but unfortunatly, that company is as good as dead since they mostly make roadsters and SUVs now..

How the mighty have fallen... :'(

EDIT: Not to mention their anemic performance over the past few years...
