Are the R15 and 908s sandbagging, or did the ACO really manage to slow the diesels down this much?
Looks like Albers is up to his old tricks again
The Aston might not be the fastest car in LMP1, but I do think it's the prettiest car on the grid. It doesn't look as aggressive as the Audi, and not as edgy as the Peugeot, but instead it has some beautiful sleek lines. Not to mention the wonderful livery 👍
What similarities are they then?
What I'm wondering about now is the reason for the lack of pace coming from those private R10s. Sure, they aren't giving anything yet, but it's the same car that won the race last year. What makes that those R10 cars are not amongst the R15s and the 908s? Tyres? Drivers? Set-up?
Remember these things though.
- Most of the drivers havn't driven at Le Mans before
- The R10 wasn't really very fast compared to the 908 last year
- The other P1's have got faster, this R10 hasn't been developed, just modfied to 09 aero rules
Anyone know why JLOC are missing?
The PescaPug is impressive, is and the factory 908s and R15s look very closely matched.
It'll be a game of strategy and luck, and both of these play in Audis favour if history is anything to go by.
