    24 hours race is coming

    Hi,
    because this fact, may be it can be interesting the words Dr. Ulrich about Formula 1 and endurance:
    'Let me show you how – at Le Mans, one of our cars will cover 325 miles more than an F1 car will cover in an entire season, our average speed including pits stops will be 20mph higher than an F1 car and we will use 42% less fuel. '
    Although this position is not new, you can read here about the reasons why Audi says NO to Formula 1.
    Sure, I don't want to start a battle between followers of either endurance or formula 1, because I like both (beyond Fernando Alonso), although I do prefer endurance races. May be because I can shot a lot of photos in these races, without being highly stressed .

    After the race, when someone asks who won an F1 race, the answer is always the driver's name. At Le Mans, the same question is almost always answered with the manufacturer's name.

    Unfortuneately most spanish medias don't care of a victory from Marc Gené in endurance, they only watch Fernando Alonso in F1(whatever his result is)

    Because saying several drivers names is too complicated?

    Yes, though even this fantastic race has been marginalised by the media, sadly.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
