Agree with you, even if the last part of the 99' race was hot, with the Toyota trying to catch the BMW and suffer a puncture in Les Hunaudières...

A chance : certainly ! But all the chances ? Certianly not : see what happend in Sebring...
I'm still not confident on the fact that a car could be as easy as the Audis to drive on a long range race ; and the tyres are definitely too narrow on Bentleys (due to ACO rules).
I wwas wtaching 2001' first laps race yesterday : the Bentleys were matching well with the private Audis and Mopar Dallaras Oreca cars... but nothing to do against work Audis...
We could have a real open race this year. I wish a dry weather and no problems in the first hour (remember the burning Cadillac in 2000)...
