For the first time since 1993, a Peugeot prototype has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Congratulations!
Having been a bit disappointed by the sorts of legality quarrel that seemed to arise before the first practice had even started, I found this to be an interesting race, once again, this year. It was great seeing the Peugeot, with its front end somewhat flattened out, the new Audi and the Lola/Aston Martin cars on this classic circuit. On top of that, TV coverage was once again great in quantity and acceptable in quality this year, unlike the three-minute interval "Die grrrrrrrüüüne Höllä"-broadcast, interlaced with certain manufacturer commercials, at the Nürburgring race last month.
