Definitely Roy, I was pulling for the vettes too. Great double header for chevvy in their 100th anniversary year.

The fox and the hounds duel between the remaining Audi and all the peugots was some intense motorsport. They tried every trick in the book to beat that Audi but they were outsmarted.

A truly great race. :thumbsup:

+1 for an awesome race.

I was about to throw the remote at the TV when the lap down Peugot was holding up the audi lap after lap, yet the marshals just let it slide.

bloody Frenchy's :)

Audi killed them in strategy. They made more pit stops, but spent less time in pitlane, and thats what won it for them.

good on Vettes 10 years 7 class wins any team would love that win streak.

i also thought that the audi drive was grate to considering two of there drivers went to hospital, just shows the determination of the team.

but for me the stand out performance went to Robertson racing, for a independent husband and wife team to claim third place in the GTE Am class at there first la mans good on them :thumbsup: ( in a ford gt too )

good race and a well done to all.:)

Was kind of glad to see the 74 Vette out, as a mate was driving in the 73 Vette that won :thumbsup:

The Robertson Racing result was great for the small outfit considering the lack of pace in qualifying.

      I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
