What happened to our boys this weekend?

(http://www.lemans.org/2003/24auto/teams/91/photo_04.jpg)

I had this conversation with my wife:

Sikboy: Damn, both cars were dead inside twelve hours

Ms. Sik: They were British Cars, I'm surprised they lasted that long

Sikboy: I'll have you know that a British team is currently ahead in the overall standings

Ms. Sik: So, are they driving a Ford or a Chevy?

Ugg. No respect man lol

I found the wording a bit amusing regarding the first TVR to bow out (91)

On Richards out lap he was involved in an incident with a protoype resulting in contact with a concrete wall.

I hadn't actually followed the race. But I heard Bentley won and came second with British drivers. Which was nice. :)

What's the story on TVR and LeMans? How long have they been competing?

I think that this is only the second time (and the first since 1962) that TVR has entered Le Mans, however, as dictated by tradition, none of the cars has ever finished lol.

Well there you go. If this is the first time they've entered in 31 years they aren't exactly going to work miracles. ;)
