Can you please using proper English and punctuations; this post is very hard to read.
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

i think the GT1 class is alot more interesting than the proper LM1 cars.... they have been in past years anyway, maybe this year with 5 disels it might lift the standard of the main class and give some interesting viewing

Speaking of Le Mans, does anyone know where this is a reliable source of laptimes, pole positions times, distance covered, and average speed? I have poked around on tehnet but had no luck so far - other than Wikipedia.

The official Le Mans 24hr site has an archive of race results and qualifying times and the like - http://www.lemans.org/24heuresdumans...orique_gb.html

What would I do without you. I was getting junk off google and never figured to check their actual site. Thanks J_B!
EDIT: Am I blind or are there no fastest lap designations?

I've got a newbie question for you Le Mans experts: do teams load up on one car and have one desgnated #1 car, keep the cars rougly balanced, or does it depend on the team? Take Audi for example. Does the #1, #2, or #3 car having any advantage over their sister cars in your opinion? What is the strongest car if there is an edge?
Also, does anyone know why Audi runs in North America over Europe? Is that purely a marketing decision?

Because the Europeans are afraid of the R10
Seriously though, I'm not sure.

I'm afraid of the R10. If I was out on the road playing I wouldn't hear it coming till my skull cracked against the road when it ran me over.Because the Europeans are afraid of the R10
Seriously though, I'm not sure.
It should be banned.

The #1 and #2 should be about equal. Audi's drivers are usually the same pace wise. So, I think they pair up the drivers so they have an equal chance at a win.
The #3 is for the "rookies", the new Audi works drivers.
I think Audi is running the R10 in North America because they have committed to the ALMS. Although the LMP1 field is rather pathetic this year...
In Autosport, it was reported that Audi will do a Le Mans Series round after the 24, so they should have at least one car at the 1000km of the Nurburgring.
Worth noting, is that the R10s at Utah were 2006 chassis, so there must be at least 5 in existence (2 from 2006 ALMS, 2 for 2007 ALMS and Le Mans, and 1 for the "rookies" might be the test car...)
Furniture
Ok then, why did Audi decide to commit to the ALMS over the LMS then? Maybe Wouter knows...
Furniture
Probably a marketing decision more than anything else.
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
Fanatic
Just imagine how crazy France would be if Peugeot wins this year
