Title: 24 Heures du Mans 2009
Post by: Anders Dinsen on February 28, 2009, 11:20:11 am
With three manufacturers at the start of the LMP1 class, there will be battle this year between Audi, Aston Martin and our french heros Peugeot, one even running with our idol Pescarolo's team!

LMP2 looks interesting too - with the financial help of Porsche, the Danish fans will have a car to cheer at this year again: Last years class winner Team Essex's Porsche RS Spyder. Two Pescarolo chassis' will run with Mazda engines this year: These four cylinder turbo charged engines are real screamers, so you'll know when they come!

I'll miss the Saleen SR7 from the GT1 class, but we will again have the battle between AM and Corvette, this year also supplemented with two Lamborghinis. GT2 looks like it will repeat last years' battle between Ferrari and Porsche, where Ferrari outplaced Porsche quite well - can the Porsche teams do better this year? I'll personally look forward to seeing (and hearing) the single Spyker - let's hope its Audi engine lasts this year!
