the mirror-design of the 458 reminds me of the p4/5c-mirrors

 

Audi blowing it!!!!!

 

and another audi crash. what is going on?

 

In the same corner!!! Unbelievable!

 

...and then the #2 audi punches the wall (porsche curve)

wasn't the same corner. the first crash happened in the same corner as the crash yesterday, the second in a different corner.

 

you're right. got a little excited there.

 

I wish the SC wouldn't have been deployed though. Wouldn't have jeopardized an Audi win, but would have made things a little more interesting behind.

 

2 hrs to go bruni af corse italia looking solid for ferrari win. These italia 458 have done extremely good.

 

though it would be better if the porsche reliability allowed them to battle with Ferrari, more exciting, as porsche had/has similar pace

 

Af corse italia 308 laps 21 pits. Too bad porsches all retired. Corvette 299 laps 23 pits

 

30 minutes left to go ....despite the Ferrari pace, GTE is lead by a porsche #50 and corvette #67 at the moment, and Ferrari #57 in third

Nice little battle in GTE AM at least, one to watch...

P1. no. 67 997, P2. no. 50 Corvette.......20 seconds apart, 25 mins. to go.

 

yes, if the cameras would show it! nice run down by Lamy, so now a position change with the corvette moved into first, and the porsche dropping back ....i don't know how far behind the porsche the third place Ferrari is?

 

The Krohn car (started 53rd) is 5 laps down.

 

looks like we're going to get a 1-2 finish for Ferrari in the GT-pro class, #51 and #59

Good on the No. 12 Rebellion for 4th against the Horch Force...

 

That's one sexy racing car.

 

showing 2 laps now ....wow, porsche puncture so it's in the pits now, and suddenly corvette in for fuel ...we'll see if they can get out before the audi's cross the line, and the pits close!?!

 

not bad for a car that was just completely rebuilt due to fisichella's crash!

 

Good job Audi, congrats on a good race. Maybe next year someone will be able to challenge them for the overall win. Nonetheless, what they've done over the past decade or so is pretty impressive.

Congrats to Audi.........Huge resources equals huge wins.

 

Roll on 2014 and the new engine formula! Not to mention Porsche's return to LMP1. Maybe Ferrari will surprise us and say they're coming back in a few more years, too. Would love a new generation of Porsche vs. Ferrari Wars. Revive the 512M!

NOW IS THE TIME FOR FERRARI TO STRIKE !
