Audi Wins Big At Petit Le Mans

...but Peugeot got in the middle to thwart a 1-2 finish by the two R10s. It was the No. 1 Audi driven by Allan McNish that took the win, after having started the race from two laps down following his crash during the recon lap this morning. If you watched the race, you saw the No. 1 and No. 2 Audis and the No. 07 Peugeot swapping the lead back and forth all day, and you got to witness that vicious dogfighting between the three cars the race's final hour, but in the end, the McNish's Audi finished ahead of the Peugeot by four and a half seconds. While McNish both started the race and cruised past the finish line, the car was driven at various points by teammates Emanuel Pirro and Rinaldo Capello, and the victory marks the 9th straight win by Audi at Petit Le Mans—apparently, they've never not won this race! That's totally great, but think it might be time to shake things up a little. A lot's going to change between now and the 2009 Petit—stay tuned.
