Is no one watching the 24 Hours of Le Mans?

Don't remember the guys name, but he was the driver of the #1 Peugeot that ran the last Corvette off track, whatever his name was, he was a jerk.


I watched until 3 hours from the end. I saw the hit, the rebuild and the interview with the driver that almost but didn't quite hit him. The oil in the jug was too dark and thick to be M1 5w-30, the rebuild was amazing and the guy that ran him off the road said Collard was asleep at the switch.

Great race.

Maybe they just dumped 20 cans of LM MoS2 in it??!

I never saw a so happy professional driver than this guy when he was sliding the vette.



Top Gear ZR1 vs R8

Lets see, one Audi for $100K or two Vettes for $100K. Emmmm, I think I will take my Vettes in Red and Blue thank you.

Why not a dozen Chevettes?

Same test in french

It is the first subject, so don't worry, you don't have to watch the whole show. For the Impatients, it starts at 01:40.

About the same than with Jeremy Clarkson, but they smile all the time when they are in the Vette (They are both professional drivers, the journalist is in the passenger seat).

Since I love Top Gear, I don't mind the frenchs decided to copy them (best form of flattery).
