24 Hours of Le Mans

Unsure of whether to root for the Audis or the Toyotas.

The Toyotas would be good candidates due to the under-dog-ness.  Seeing as how Audi has won 10 of the last 12 years.  And they're running petrol rather than diesel. And it'd be nice to see a gasoline engine win after being dominated by diesel for so long.

The Audis on the other hand just look damned cool.  And they're running a flywheel hybrid system, rather than Toyota's battery system.

But, four hours in, it looks like there's actually a decent race going.  A few early problems for some of the Audis have put the Toyotas into 2nd and 3rd, with the pole-sitting Audi not having given up that position yet.

Also, wouldn't mind seeing that Deltawing thing do well, even though it can't technically win.  It just looks so dang wacky.

Well, don't leave us in suspense, tell us who wins soon, and not in two weeks when you finally see the end.

Hope you're happy. Impatient as you may be.

Well if I didn't whine I wouldn't be me. Also, if I didn't whine you wouldn't do it for two weeks.
