It's an endurance 24H race, speed doesn't matter much. Peugeot went for the speed route and neglected other aspects. Well, it's their fault and their fault alone, and not anybody else's luck.

If you want to talk about luck, what about last year? If it wasn't for the rain none of the Peugeots would have lasted past 18 or 19 hours because the race pace would have been much higher. The only car to cross the line did so with no oil pressure and a severly overheating engine, after being stopped in the track (not the pits!) for the best part of the last half hour, just waiting for the final lap because if it didn't wouldn't be able to finish!

Hope they do better next year, sincerely.

Absolutely great race but pity about the toilet blocks packing in after only 18 hours.

The only luck Audi had was when TK hit other cars and got no damage out of it!
That is luck to have 2 accidents on such a high speed circuit and suffer no damage. Yes i know neither collision was at speed but if they had of been the race would have been over for the No. 2 Audi.
Congrats To the Drivers and team, it was almost the perfect race for them. And thats what got them the win....
Up the mighty Aston for bringing home David Brabham for back 2 back win in GT1, It was great to see a fellow Aussie on the top step last year! Wish i was there to see it again this year.

Did "Pigout" spend any R&D time on wet conditions?The little bit I saw of the race,it appeared that once the rain came,they would do just as well to park the cars in the garage?Surely they spent a lot on rain development?But not nearly enough obviously.
Congrats to all.G--out.
