Actually, the reason he punted into the gravel trap was because he came upon Seth on cold tires who also braked where someone "typically wouldn't". That was his quote and he was being nice.

Nope, but it WILL happen before I die! I promise.

Wow. Its a sea of Peugeots and F430's.

#81 should be Team Seattle, raising money for Childrens Hospital. But the entry list has it has "Advanced ENgineering" but with the correct drivers so not sure what thats about.

Second place Peug gets hit by another peug in the pits and proceeds to try and make it all the way around the track and back to the pits.

But its self destructing as it goes, shedding bodywork as it goes.

Team Seattle is basically doing an "arrive and drive" with Advanced Engineering. They were previously looking at Tafl, but they closed up shop.

They're still Team Seattle, and raising money for the Children's Hospital, but the official team entry to Le Mans is Advanced Engineering.


Patrick Demspey has also joined Team Seattle with more than a little bit of a splash.

Ross Bentley is also the driver coach that is over there with the guys.

Huge #17 Pescarolo Sport - Peugeot 908 crash with Benoît Tréluyer at the wheel

big safety car period. I hope and pray he is okay.

(he competes in Super GT in Japan. He also competed at Le Mans with Pescarolo in 2007 - 13th place - and 2008 with a 7th place)
