24 Heures du Mans - 7:49:30
The leading Peugeot 908 just suffered catastrophic engine failure! That's two Peugeot retirements, with Audi R15s now running one-two. There is a long way yet to go, almost a full third of the race remaining, but at the moment it appears that the reliability of Audi trumps the pure speed of Peugeot.

Also, I freely admit that I'm infatuated with Vanina Ickx, one of the drivers of the No. 008 Lola-Aston Martin (the non-Gulf Oil liveried Aston).



In the G.T.2 class, Corvette Racing still hold the lead. They were running one-two, but the leading Corvette CR6 suffered what appeared catastrophic engine failure mere seconds after the front-running Peugeot gave up the ghost. The second place Corvette is now your G.T.2 leader, though the Porches are still doing all they can to close the gap. It's been a bad day for B.M.W. Motorsport (the Schnitzer squad) and the Ferraris of Risi Competizione.

Anything can yet happen!
