Quote:
Mike Rockenfeller (Audi R18 TDI #1): "I was driving my fourth stint. Just three or four more laps and the tank would have been empty. After the Mulsanne corner I was on the long straight heading for Indy. In the second right-hand there was a GT car in front of me. It was running on the left-hand side and I used the headlight flasher. For me it was clear that he would stay on the left as he had the lap before too. We overtake very often at this place of the track. Just as I was running alongside him at 300 km/h he misjudged this. He suddenly pulled over to the right. I still wanted to evade him by going out on the grass. Nevertheless he must have still slightly touched me at the rear. I immediately turned left. It was a severe accident. But the most important thing is that I’m basically okay. The safety standards are simply enormous and have saved my life. I’ve never had such an accident in my life and hope that I’ll never have such an experience again. I’m extremely sorry. We had good chances of being in contention for victory. I would always take advantage of such a gap again because I believe that it was not a risky maneuver. It was quite a normal act of straight overtaking. Consideration should be given to perhaps finding another solution for amateur drivers. it’s simply too dangerous. There were several dangerous incidents for me while I was driving. At that particular moment, unfortunately, the outcome wasn’t so good.”

That was a live recording made by me, when it was called to my attention that Josh was sleeping and somehow "somebody" needed to record it.

Amazing. Yesterday In Belgium's most read and biggest newspaper there was a 2 page advert by Audi because of the 10th victory. But no mention whatsoever how 'strong' and 'safe' the cars are. Usually there is like a small advert after a victory, but this one is really nice!

Perhaps we will find such adverts in many newspapers in Europe :)

For the guys who did all 24 hours: Have any of you been mixing up words ever since the race, like "modern" instead of "modem" or "brunch" instead of "lunch"?

Sounds weird, but it's freaking me out. :lol:

It's not bad spelling it's typing a completely different word to what I was thinking of.

Anyone who spells badly and uses incorrect grammar should be immediately taken out and given a firm beating. Tut tut.
