Le Mans 2008

I suppose it was a case of there never being good news without accompanying bad news; the good news being that it was a race all the way to the end with the two lead cars, from different manufacturers, finishing on the same lap, a long overdue win for McNish and, according to the Eurosport commentators, a number of manufacturers not directly represented sniffing around and offering the propect of future involvement. The bad news being the discrepancy between diesel and petrol power in LMP1, leaving the likes of Courage, Pescarolo, Creation and Dome well adrift of the combined 6 oil burners from Audi and Peugeot and in a number of cases behind the LMP2 Porsche RS Spyders. I didn’t gather that there was likely to be a diesel offering from engine manufacturers such as AER, Judd or Zytek so it looks like it will be down to the ACO to tinker with the regulations, something to which they are not averse, to tighten up the competition in LMP1. If the ACO gets it right and other manufacturers come to the party then next years race could be even better.
