LM being a 24-hour SPRINT race, since years now, is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

The MASTER regulation changing for 2016 and beyond, I predict Audi’s BRAND NEW car will be more competitive than PORSCHE is this year.

Not to take anything from PORSCHE, since they have been preparing diligently again ever since the end of the Le Mans race last year, by building a BRAND NEW CAR to begin whith and testing it relentlessly, fastest lap makes but a nice headline in Friday’s paper. But a lot can happen in a 24-hour race. Therefore, what…

Thank you for your compliment.

Hate to say it, but the inevitable happens - we all get older...

WIN is a win!

Thank you Dr. Ullrich and AudiSport for hiring Mr. Joest and JOEST Racing, plus all the personnel behind these two great men, for all those incredible accomplishments and memories. Long live AudiSport and JOEST Racing!

Still think Matra’s veil was THE VERY BEST SOUND __EVER__.

So, to show that we actually had 25 cars in the making, we put the rest of them on beer crates, borrowed from…

Ah, got it. Thanks for Peter’s last name correction as well. Sorry I did not get the spelling right.

Must have not been paying attention when those happened... Thanks for your clarification.

It was the other way around, actually.

Allan’s accident was at Road Atlanta, in a PORSCHE GT1, on the straight atop of the hill, which had a slight downward step in it. The founding member of the exclusive Road Atlanta “Flying Club” was Mark Donohue (I believe) in a 917-10 Turbo while testing a very special chassis. It was the substantial increase of his…

Too aggressive trim to get MAX speed possible combined combined with the sharp crest of what used to be a significant hill (buldozed after those accidents) at the end of the long ‘straight’ were two factors in Mark Weber’s accident. Peter Drumback’s flying accident, in addition of those two factors, have had an…

In other words, BMW M1, a nice Italian car - Dressed by Italdesign and Lamborghini commissioned to work out the details of the car’s chassis, assemble prototypes and manufacture the vehicles...
