Formaldehyde
Both Fair And Balanced
It looks like the Peugeot horde has an excellent chance of winning this year. They are distinctly faster than the Audi R15s, and they may be able to quad-stint their tires instead of changing them every pit stop as the Audis need to do so far. The #8 Peugeot has already lapped the field due to a lucky pit stop. 24 hours is a very long race so it's obviously too early to call anything less than 3 hours into the race, but that is still a sizeable lead at such an early stage.
However, one of the factory Peugeots had a really stupid incident in pit lane as they were exiting. They collided with a Peugeot from a sister team and had to due nearly the entire 8 miles with a flat LR which subsequently destroyed the entire LR side of the car. They are now 7 laps down.
In LMP2, it looks like the Porsche RS Spyders have the advantage over the Lolas and Zyteks. In LMGT1, a Corvette is beating all the other Corvettes. LMGT2 is now Porsche 997 GT3 RSR 1-2 over the Ferrari F430 GTs in 3-9.
Live Timing And Scoring
But I must say the best part of the race coverage so far has been this Audi R8 commercial. It is the first time I had seen it on American TV:
