Air cool, water cool, diesel...quite frankly I can't get into this "hurrah for our side" type of approach. OK, I prefer air cooled Porsches. So what? It really is a personal thing, a true or a perceived form of "purity"...
About Le Mans.
There's some complaints about the diesel not making any noise, or not the "proper" noise. So what? The dam thing was first, it -and the winning team- didn't cheat. OK, they could make a "safety" rule saying a driver can't drive for more than, say, two consecutive hours (which would force the diesels to stop -which is what they haven't been doing, one of the main reasons for their winning).
Of course (poor Mr.) Pescarolo (truly a great car guy!) only had (for his entire racing team budget) 2.5% of the money Audi spent on the development of the engine alone.
I guess automobile racing will change a lot - again.
4th place for a Corvette effort. Hmmm.... I don't like it, but...
I ache at not, first hand, coming accross the name PORSCHE in any conspicuous way in any race reports. Must be a near first time this happens at LM since, euh...the early 1950's???
Yep. Getting old is sh..
