never mind the aerodynamics. here we had development people installing what they thought were better con rods; which they were not , and then not testing them properly. They had a great engine in 2009 did they not ?

Pretty silly especially with that kind of money flying around.

I felt let down and dejected after the 2010 le Mans race and by God, how I hated those frigging ugly Audis.

But I have to grudgingly admit that they all finished, in one two three fashion yet.

SAUDIS !!!!!!!!

@bonsema1 I hope Team Oreca Matmut and Peugeot Sport will be stronger for the 2011 Le Mans Series.
