Le Mans Le Mans 2015

Don't worry you had me convinced DaveD, anyways great stuff as always Galahad crazy how close these gaps are in a 24 hour race and how important small chunks of time can be in a marathon like this. And to think that's only a breakdown of 2 cars in a 55 car field. I'm sure we could break down the race in the three other classes and see a completely different story emerge.

So in conclusion. Webber is about as useful in a Le Mans car as he was in an F1 car.

If we're going to give blame to Webber (and that's probably justified to a greater or lesser extent) we should also give credit to Hülkenberg. It takes two to make a mismatch.

Very true, in my defence, I don't think for one second that Webber is a bad driver, just not quite a great one.

Galahad - And there we were thinking that Webber would blow the field away when released from the issue of actually having to start a race...

I'd missed that earlier bu this link sheds some light into what happened to Roald Goethe when he crashed the Aston Martin:

Great news that Roald is ok. His wasn't the Aston that went off in the late stages though, that was driven by Paul dalla Lana.
