My Pics from the 2008 Petit Le Mans
Here are a few of the pictures I took last weekend at the 2008 Petit Le Mans 1,000 mile endurance race at Road Atlanta.
Enjoy! __________________________________________________________________ Pole Starter Peugeot 908 #07 Nicolas Minassian, Marc Gene and Christian Klien The diesel powered Peugeot looked unstoppable when it broke the track record in qualifying and lead most of the race. It's raw power on the straights was amazing. Only in the final laps of the nearly 10 hour race did it fall victim to McNish in his Audi. __________________________________________________________________ Winner P1 and overall winner Audi Sport #1 Allan McNish, Rinaldo Capello and Emanuele Pirro McNish got off to a terrible start when he crashed and damaged his diesel powered Audi R10 on the way to the starting grid. Repairs were made and he started the race 2 laps down. Absolutely unbelievable driving by the whole team but especially McNish allowed them to catch and pass the pole sitting Peugeot in the final laps of the 1,000 mile race. __________________________________________________________________ Winner P2 Penske Porsche RS Spyder #5 Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe Helio was glad to be in a race car on Saturday after spending all day Friday in Federal Court facing tax evasion charges. He showed his joy by leading the P2 class most of the day and finishing with a victory. __________________________________________________________________ Winner GT1 Corvette C6-R #3 Johnny O'Connell, Jan Magnussen and Ron Fellows Another strong run for Johnny, Jan and Ron in the Corvette C6-R. They had already wrapped up the championship in GT1 for the season. __________________________________________________________________ Winner GT2 Flying Lizard Porsche 911 GT3 RSR #45 Joerg Bergmeister and Wolf Henzler Another strong run for Joerg and Wolf in the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR. They had already wrapped up the championship in GT2 for the season.

Very nice! That Audi has been winning for 15 years straight or something! I remember when they figured out how to change the transmission in 45 seconds flat. That was jaw dropping.

To watch the P1s from overhead and see the speed difference is amazing. Really puts it in perspective. sine non of the cars are slow by any measure. Fun to watch them race at Mid-Ohio too.
