[DTM] Round 10 - Le Mans (FRA), 4/5 October 2008

King of Le Mans, Kristensen, takes pole.

Title rivals di Resta & Scheider will start 4th and 5th.

Not a bad race, and huge implications for the title-race.

But DTM should really consider either
1) Make a flooded track mandatory at every race
2) race only in months and places were there's a high probability of rain

Fantastic race, but once again Audi fails to lay out a strategy that works in changing conditions.

Great work by Eki, Premat and Paul di Resta!

BTW: Who was responsible for removing TK´s front?

err, IMHO - F1 should also consider this idea...

in fact, my idea is that all new circuits should be fully covered, with a sprinkler system controlled by a computer ....

Great race.
I always says that all races must be held in mountain or coastal regions)) Like Ardenns... Or in rainy season, like autumn... Or in evening))
Mercs make a big mistake with their rain tyre, but Audi make another mistake with rain tyres on the last pit, so they were equal except point Mercs were faster on wet track.
I think, di Resta must be happy for his second place - if he won, he would take 10kg more for Hokkenheim race)))

True! Those were the exception to the rule though. This year and last year have been the wettest I can remember for a very long time. We've just had a fairly dry spell but that looks like it's over already!

Spa, Nürburgring and Zandvoort should be okay as well. Hockenheim in October, might be also fine.
