Tom Kristensen takes his 9th win at LeMans.... Never finished off of the podium since 1997. An incredible record. Bittersweet day for the Danes....
Of course, the current LP1 rules favor diesels, and the classification system prevents many of the GT class cars from running anything close to factory horsepower (Viper detuned from 660 hp down to just over 400 hp, with Corvettes and Aston Martins down by over 100 hp). The reason, I suppose, is to create real separation between the classes. Still, I'd love to see it like it was in the 60s, with the GT cars running with the prototypes down the straights... I remember Gurney dogging the lead Ferrari 250LMs down the Mulsanne in his Cobra Daytona Coupe....
