Audi Wins 24 Hours of Le Mans.

I just couldn't let it pass without mentioning. Audi has once again (despite an INCREDIBLE showing by Peugot), won the 24 hours of Le Mans.



This is the absolute pinnacle of auto racing... and not just because I'm a fan.

24 hours of wear and tear, pushing it to the limit, and getting absolutely no sleep for the course of the race (and hours of prep time beforehand, and celebration afterwards). It is the ultimate test of endurance for both the man (men) and machine.

Audi has won eight years in a row (counting a Bugatti win in '05 with the Audi engine). A feat not duplicated in any racing series.
