Spa Francorchamps was the venue yesterday for the opening skirmishes in the 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours. Three factory Peugeots against three werks Audis…………..plus some 44 other cars on the grid……..a stellar line up at this stage in the global economic cycle.
Peugeot took a convincing win but who can predict how things will pan out next month in France? It all looked pretty impressive as the Green Flag was waved. Cars as far as the eye can see.
Sitting in a hotelroom at the Nurburgring I can hear a car at full throttle down the Dottinger Hohe, the fans were assembling this afternoon, pitching their tents and chilling their beer in anticipation of the Nurburgring edition of the race twice round the clock. SpeedHunters is on site and on the case.
More later………..first some refreshments…………………Pistenklause here I come.
