Guess I should of noted against Audi at LeMans.

they might have won 14 out of 16 races, but that doesn't matter. The only race that gets mentioned in the 'everyday news' that 'everyday' people see is Le mans. Especially last year, the two big crashes were mentioned, and even one single Audi could win against all the Peugeots. That must have been marketingwise very hard to handle. You invest a whole lot of money, and the only publicity you got is that you loose against Audi (at le Mans).

Real sad news this is.

Whilst that is true, remember Peugeot were the ones who pushed the ACO to form the WEC. They were a big part of why it happened. They clearly knew that they had the legs on Audi outside of Le Mans, and could exploit that well. Yet when it happens, the suits upped and left.

Dailysportscar has revealed a two-car LMP2 program for Lotus in the WEC, running Lola coupes with Lotus-badged Judd engines. Suggestions are that this will likely involve Kolles and his staff/

Sooooo... Lola Judd = Lotus and Oak Judd = Morgan? Maybe someone should jam a Judd in an Aston Martin and say it's an Austin Maestro.

I'm currently printing that to stick it to my bedroom wall.

Only thing it needs is the Peugeot turning down am exit road while waving the white flag.

This made me chuckle. I somehow suspect he won't be hearing from Toyota.

Also, visited his website. It is all kinds of hell. Especially that YouTube video.

Posting that is also interesting because Autohedbo came after some other sites that posted the same photo(s). His tweets are also interesting, like this or this.

What website?
