My OperaHere we go again - 24 hours of race !
Friday, June 15, 2007 8:38:46 AM
Tomorrow Saturday at 15:00 to Sunday 15:00, the race is on again in Le Mans, France.
Personly i think that this is one of the few REAL RACES in the world, where the cars and drivers really get tested
And Denmark has these drivers up and running :
Let's se if Tom Kristensen can do it for the 8.time !
Update Sunday
Car nr 2 (with Tom K )
07:33:00 CAPELLO R Indianapolis Curve (96) GRAVEL PIT + HIT THE TYRES
08:05:00 CAPELLO R Paddock (0) WITHDRAWAL : OFF THE ROAD
Great drama at 07:35, as the leading No.2 Audi Sport North America Audi R10 TDI driven by Rinaldo Capello lost the left rear wheel and crashed head on at the high speed Indianapolis corner. It buried itself front first into the tyre wall and Capello was removed from the car by the marshals. He was reluctant to leave the car, but the marshalls appeared to give him no choice. The tow truck arrived to remove the car from the wall and after 4 minutes Capello got back into the car and attempted to return to the pits. Capello then got back out of the car and walked around it in a very animated manner. He appeared absolutely unable to accept that the car was so badly damaged, and at times was seen pleading beside the car.
There were anxious faces in the Audi pit, led by Dr Wolfgang Ullrich, while they watched the footage of the very second hand looking Audi.
As the laps clicked by, it seemed impossible to believe that this car could continue. The No.1 Audi will take the lead from the two Peugeot Sport entries.

Somebody was moving a bit too fast in the pit, and the car lost a wheel.
I think I´d better stop asking my car repair man to hurry up.
