NEWS from Le Mans Information from Flying Lizards blog Saturday June 13 5:35 am - We have been notified that Darren is fine, he will return to the garage. Sadly, this appears to be the end of our fifth Le Mans. I am disconnecting the radio for now. I'll give you more detail as soon as I have it.

they have not showed the wreck because even though he's concious, he's still in hospital.

It happened at Dunlop esses -> Tetra Rouge and it might have been a blowover. Only the actual tub remained and they were bringing out the cloth screens to keep people from seeing. (The worst sign in racing)

driver was Benoit Treluyer

**JEY$JDM** · 06-14-2009, 12:00 AM

mmm... cooked up some ribs, and watched Le Mans from 4pm or so until 10pm

now im going to speed tv for live coverage!!!!

**Elbow** · 06-14-2009, 12:01 AM

**EJ25RUN** · 06-14-2009, 12:02 AM

Yeah...Justin Bell Just said Henry went to see him. I hope OK means no spinal damage.

**larossa9** · 06-14-2009, 12:11 AM

yea i hope so too man, thats bananas, but when you think about its its amazing that stuff like that doesnt happen even more often, they all have soo much pressure on them, at speeds up to 200mph is crazzzzzy!!!

I love the sound of the Lola Astons. I have to get a nice sound clip of that car going through the gears. I've got a Eurosport stream going along with watching it on Speed. The Eurosport stream is great because the commentators also enjoy hearing the cars so when they do the in car they shut up and let you hear the sweet music. The Vettes also sound bad ass.

**larossa9** · 06-14-2009, 12:53 AM

ahhhh yes when alan mcnish or whatever his last name did the one lap of the track was awessssssssssssssssssssome, he knows his shit!!!!!!!!!!

It seems he does that every year. When they did the documentary on ESPN he did the same thing. It's really cool seeing how in touch these guys are with the track.

**Elbow** · 06-14-2009, 02:11 AM

Glad to hear the driver is "ok" at least.

LOL it was a clip from the documentary (Truth in 24). I do have to say that is one of my favorite parts of the film since you get a better feel of what the driver goes through in 8 and a half miles of intense racing which takes only 3:24 (or less).

I hope Audi will get some kind of miracle and pull out another win. I really feel that they lost a lot of ground by not being in the ALMS and debugging their brand new car.

**Elbow** · 06-14-2009, 06:48 AM

No, Peugeot > Audi.

**Frög** · 06-14-2009, 06:53 AM

Happy for Peugeot!

Vive la France!

HAHA

**Elbow** · 06-14-2009, 06:54 AM

Hell yeah.

**Elbow** · 06-14-2009, 07:00 AM

**cjhutch** · 06-14-2009, 08:52 AM

Now everyone wants to play copycat and group their cars together. Corvette even pulled in the pits for a quick detail.

**blacknightteg** · 06-14-2009, 08:57 AM

corvette has done that before, they did it the first time they were there, and this si the last time for the c6r so why nto go out how they started you know?

i wonder what next years lemans is going to be like, since audi might not be there.

**Frög** · 06-14-2009, 09:05 AM

**blacknightteg** · 06-14-2009, 09:07 AM

lol yeah yeah yea. whatever, na its cool to see that. i wonder who and if they are going to be back here next year with and compete with

**Frög** · 06-14-2009, 09:35 AM

Audi will be there!

**blacknightteg** · 06-14-2009, 09:37 AM

we'll see, i know they were only runnin the r15 at the two races, so we shall see if they do again next year. hopefully. hopefully by then acura will be over there too.

**EJ25RUN** · 06-14-2009, 10:46 AM

Hey everyone. My internet died at 2:00 Am last night so i couldn't type or watch on the net. Glad speedTV showed till the end. (Im typing this from friends house)

Well Simon, congrats. The Pugs did it fair and it really was good for the sport to see them win.

You think this is the last time the 908 goes in factory colors?

**OnURleft** · 06-14-2009, 01:25 PM

Peugot..... where their street cars are as cool looking as their race cars
