Look from a brighter side... this may give higher motivation for Porsche AG to develop next RSR!

the ferraris out numbered porsche 2-1 ............ so odds were....

those F430's were impressive, i must admit.... i dont know what the road versions are like for reliability and cost to service...... but im impressed thus far....

It was a very disappointing event. Out of the 5 Porsches, only one was able to finish the race and off the podium. That's racing.

I don't think speed was the issue, the first hour or so they were as fast if not faster than the F-cars. Reliability and driver error was!!! I liked the 60's 70's & 80's when Porsche was serious about racing & winning!!

Sad wknd. I was hoping Long's car would atleast be on the podium.

Kudos to Peugeot for finally getting to the winner's circle.

Btw, what was the cause of the wreck of the Japanese RS sypder team? It looked prety bad.
