I'm totally shocked. This is a great gift to Audi at Le Mans, unless the ACO make a huge leap in matching the performance of the petrol and diesel vehicles.

Quite sad as Peugeot and Audi pushed each other all the way, and made for some very exciting racing.

Yeah totally surprising, they had good competition going with Audi and with Toyota joining in it would have been a good fight... I guess the announcement that Oreca would be working with Toyota was probably an early sign of this.

Whoa! Shocking! I hope Toyota builds a winner as the Audi vs. Peugeot rivalry was always great to watch. The car looks nice.

Oh my... the perfect weekend as the GF would be away and we were planning on doing an all-nighter next to the live TV coverage, with a 24h GT5 race going on.

And now they pulled the tension out of it.

It's going to be funny if Toyota beats Audi. lol

The R18 is a pretty mean car though.
