Anyway, reflecting on a number of earlier posts, I get the strong impression that some see a victory by Audi as a proof of their intrinsic strength (Vorsprung durch Technik) while a Peugeot victory is often dismissed as being a lucky one, and hardly a result of their own qualities. |

Seems like Eurosport isnt even able to show the highlights on time - its on my EGP and the website, but they show rally?

Did anyone else show up at Spa, apart from Audi and Peugeot, that is?

yes, we might want to discuss that the absolute slowest car in the field, (even slower than the three year old Paul Daniels Porsche) ended up on the podium in the FLM class. In other words, are these required additions to the field or just bringing in some money for the organisers?

If Audi had won, would you have also called it a test race? |

Yes the Kutemann car did not achieve its podium because of its own strength
There seem to have been fuel problems, which heavily affected the Corvette engines. Otherwise, they were a great nuisance during the qualifying session for the LMP class. |

More proof to back what ALMS teams and and fans have said for months: that the FLM cars need more power, since they can hardly get out of their own way down the straights with the GT2 cars?

Unless they're planning to cut the GT2s back to 350-400hp next year, I don't really understand how the new LMP2s are going to be any less of a bother come next season. They're only supposed to have 420hp, and the FLM/LMPC cars already have 450hp.

To touch back on the Audi lighting issue, TK confirms that they're running a split LED system for the inboard lights: http://www.fourtitude.com/news/publi...cle_5919.shtml
