    side exhausts....I think that's just backfire/flames out the exhaust. (you see it on both sides)

    «Das sich kurz vor dem Abflug von Makowiecki Benzin im Auspuff des Aston Martin entzündete und man kleine Flammen am Auspuff sah, lässt sich dadurch erklären, dass die Traktionskontrolle in dem Moment geregelt hat.»

    google translate

    "It caught fire shortly before the departure of Makowiecki gasoline in the exhaust of the Aston Martin and we saw small flames at the exhaust, can be explained by the fact that the traction control is regulated in the moment."

    how much of that is BoP vs. just where they are with that program? I think they've still only done six or eight races with that car.

    Rounds and rounds these cars were driving behind a Ferrari ProAm and could not pass...lack of top speed. You only need to watch the laptimes and there might be 80%? of the answer. I just dont know why they changed ballast weight and air restrictor prior to LM.

    nice video, but why did Michelin produce a film featuring Audi?

    more interviews with Michelin engineers, showing their products and how they are designed/built, etc would have been more interesting. this is just a condensed version of Truth in 24.

    I think there's value in driving home the point that Michelin is a huge part of Audi's Enduro success. I'd also guess that there are more celebs working for Audi Racing than Michelin.

    I understand the link to Audi but I think it was a missed opportunity to highlight Michelin's technology/contribution. OK so Michelin helps Audi win...how? why? how does that trickle down to a street tire? etc.

    again, nice video and fun to watch but I didn't walk away feeling like I understood Michelin's product better.

    Got it. That would be fun to watch and would probably up Michelin's street cred more effectively than this fluff piece.
