LeMans

I hadn't really intended to stay up all night watching LeMans, but 16 hours in and the Audis and Peugeots are going at it hammer and tongs, with 15 seconds between the leaders. The age of gasoline sports cars seems pretty much over.

Edit:

Speed Channel keeps advertising this online poll to vote for history's five greatest LeMans cars. Sadly, their website is almost unusable, so that I can't even find the poll, much less vote.

Ford GT-40
Porsche 917
Jaguar D-type
Porsche 911
Porsche 962

is how I would have voted. I'm kind of biased towards the 60s and 70s here, but I don't have the sense of the sweep of history at LeMans like I do for Indianapolis.
