Luck is when hard work and preparation meets opportunity.

Suppose that's why this is reputed as the greatest test in the world. Peugeot had the quickest car, but being the quickest doesn't necessary make it the best.

I would have preffered a Pug win just for something different, but well done Audi. You can't say anything against a flawless 24 hout performance.

Alex, luck? "You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means!" I think the word you're looking for is 'skill', not 'luck'.

Stunning performance from Audi this weekend, running against a car that was consistently 4/5 seconds per lap quicker and still coming out ahead is nothing short of superb. Peugeot thought they had it in the bag, but they obviously have a lot to go yet. I think it was a bit naive on their part to think they could beat Audi in 2 years (seeing that Audi has a decade of experience racing Le Mans) by just pouring more money on the development of the car. A fast car does not Le Mans win, as it was prooved today yet again.

Proud Audi owner.

Peugeot were better in the dry and Audi were better in the wet, simple as that Alex. It's hardly Audi's fault that the Peugeot's were so poor in the first couple of hours of wet running.

Wonderful race and a stunning performance from McNish, Capello and Kristensen.

Again, it's not luck, it's skill. The Audi package was, in the whole, more consistent, and that's not luck, that's skill and foresight. Peugeots were blistering fast in the dry and almost undrivable in the rain, and that is their fault alone. It's not like it doesn't ever rain during the 24 heures du Mans, they should be prepared for all eventualities. So, they decided to cut corners and don't develop the car to be efficient in the rain, and that is Audi's luck? Again, it's nothing but experience and good race management on Audi's side, to be prepared for each and every race condition possible. It also shows an amateurish poor planning and judgement on the part of Peugeot. [continues]
