can anyone advise me on the best area to camp for general madness during the weekend and the best place to be for the actual race. Will be my first year so am really clueless

[Porsche911GT1]

the Club Arnage guide would help, but theres only the 2006 and 2007 guide. don't know when they'll release the 2008 edition. maybe a month out from the race.

whats the advantages/disadvantages of having an "open top" like the R10 or the "closed coupe" like the puegoet? ty in advance

[Porsche911GT1]

in terms of aerodynamics, the closed coupe would create less drag but also generate more lift, while the open top would have the opposite effect.

i think most teams use the open top design because its more simpler, in that you don't have to worry about the doors, windows fogging up, windscreen wipers etc. Its also easier to perform driver changes with the open top.

funny how Peugoet couldn't get their doors to close properly...

wad happens wen it rains, would de open tops get flooded?

[Porsche911GT1]

they might have some holes for the water to drain out, i don't know.

So you dont look at the fact that Peugeot started 1-2-3 at Le Mans 2008 and this was just the second time with their new car? My favourites is Audi but i respect Peugeot very much.

Peugot can't beat Audi. I'm sorry but the French don't know how to make race cars. Ok, Renault F1, but they are headquartered in England. Besides they buy most of their components from German company Bosch. So it really isn't even a French car.

Of all the motorsports I watch and enjoy the LeMans 24 Hours is by far my favorite motorpsort event.

Peugeot are serious rockets, but the only time they can beat Audi is when Audi's endurance is at its worse - i.e. '09 - that was some race of attrition. I loved the 2010 race. Kristensen is the man - loved to see him win another overall, but the French Lions blowing up 3 engines and a suspension mess up and Audi 1,2,3. Can't beat that with a stick. Love to see how these coupes are going to kick ass.

This year will be amazing.

New Peugeot 908 vs New Audi R18 coupe :)

@number1Schumacherfan

We're mainly talking about engineers and pilots there. It is a french team.

[CobraMarty]

Love Le Mans, but personally there's way too much LMP1 coverage and too little GT coverage

[TheCarlsonsRaiders]

@number1Schumacherfan Then why did the Peugeot 905s win Le Mans back to back in 1992 and 1993? They know what they're doing, it's just the diesel cars aren't like anything they've dealt with before.
