A typically dominant Joest-style victory. Good for them.

Good to see that even with the 10% air restrictors all cars ran with this year, the Bentley's beat the Audi's record of last year (375 laps) with 377 laps. Nice job guys!

Banteley did it with poise and style- i have not seen a more beautiful nor menacing car since the Panoz roadsters 'batmobile' the first time it was at lemans- Simply the best guys finished first. good stuff
shame that the panoz couldn't break a podium- I think they neeed a little evolution. |

Excellent! Glad Bentley really got what they wanted on the 3rd year of their programme - was today the last time we may see a Bentley at Le Mans for a while?

I'll tell you what, we just saw the two dominate cars of the 21st century, C5-R and R8, get the ol' foot put securely in their ass. I was hoping the r8 would get it's fourth straight to match the GT-40 and 956, but it's all good still. Congrats to Kristensen on another record, but I kind of wish he would have had to spread his five wins over a longer Le Mans career.
Can you beleive the pace of that race?! Just blasting hard from start to finish! Kickin's ass. Sadly, I beleive that an Audi GTP will mean no more Bentley. However, if Audi makes another car to win overall, it might draw out Porsche, unless they are happy to be the old German performance badass. That goes for BMW, too. |

A good victory, and a total one too: they topped the times sheets every hour there.
