The obvious choice is one of the Bentley's, but I'm going to stick my neck out and say the Audi Sport UK entry is going to win come 4pm on Sunday (just because Perry McCarthy is driving it of course!)

*sigh* The Audi Sport UK entry is out - run out of fuel. Like my sig says, I shold just not bother supporting anyone...

I'm just hoping that two of my friends (who share a car in the GTS class) come back safely... Anything other than that is a bonus.

The Rob Barff TVR is out as well after hitting the wall :(

My friend, Piers Maserati, is in 32nd place at the moment.

I thought there was more coverage on Eurosport tonight but there doesn't seem to be anything else until 7.30 tomorrow morning. Another early start for me!:D

Amanda,

You can always listen to Radio Le Mans over the net :) That's what I'm doing, duff modem and all...

BTW, AFAIK my crazy gang (Iceman, Grumps and Little Tony) are in 13th place and second in GTS despite an oooooooopsie into the tyre wall at the first chicane on the Mulsanne and losing two laps...

Hmmm... Someone gave my lads the evil eye - anonther DNF for Kelvin "The Icemen" Burt and Darren "Grumpy" Turner :(

Poor Anthony crashed heavily at Mulsanne Corner just gone half distance. It was a heavy impact and he's currently in hospital under observation. The team still have no idea what caused the crash, but could it possibly have been a consequence of his earlier off at one of the chicanes.

I hope that Anthony will be OK...

*NEWS FLASH*

The problem with the #80 Prodrive Ferrari was a rear suspension failure, which is what caused Anthony's crash at Mulsanne Corner. At the moment, the team think that it was caused by the right rear wheelbearing overheating and siezing up.

Anthony is back at the circuit - OK, but a bit groggy.

A Bentley one two!!!:D

Well done to both of the teams - an excellent result for the Bentley Boys.

Looks like the weather held for a second year.
