I have to admit i did enjoy seeing the giant knob on track shame the toyota shunted it off

Laugh Out Loud!

If you want ugly, go to the Rolex Sports Car Series!  Man, they're awful.

On a different note, innovation is the key to survival of the automobile as we are running out of petrol.  As far as I'm concerned, we can't run out soon enough.  I want to see the Saudi's try to eat sand when we jack their wheat prices up in concert with their jacked up oil prices.  All that $$ will begin to flow out of "The Kingdom" and back to its rightful owners in Europe and the good old US of A.

I'm not sure it's fair to blame Audi for their domination.  Of course there are a lot of things you could say but Porsche were just as dominant in the 80s though they sold cars to private teams.  But in 1983 the Porsche 956 took the first 8 places.

It's not Audi's fault that the Pugs have abandoned the project.

Unlike GCSE exam results you can't get better every year. 

As for changing large parts of the car, my understanding is that they Block and Gearbox casing cannot be changed.

I've returned home many times thinking "That's it! I'm not going there again!"  After my first visit Sebring this year my thoughts were I would alternate between Le Mans and the Classic.  However, I now find myself in the position of thinking Le Mans is too good to miss so I'll be doing all three.

....my thoughts were I would alternate between Le Mans and the Classic...

I had thought that too, but my experience this year has made my mind up not to miss another LM24, even if it means making a shorter trip than my usual 2 weeks in June!

I made that same decision a few years back, but although I love the classic for what it is, I really have missed being at the 24hr this year. I really want to get to Sebring and the 'ring 24 next year too, so it looks like I will need to redouble my efforts at forcing a divorce to make it possible.

I thought I had cracked it last month when Mrs LB came home early to find a stripped down Triumph Tiger Cub engine and gearbox in the new dish washer.
