17:01 We are on the last lap... The Audis are backing up the field with Emmanuel Pirro about to take the win from Sebastien Loeb ni the No17 Pescarolo with the No7 Audi of McNish third

Race results

Re: Audi sets history in LeMans!!!

I would love to see audi competing aigainst Peugeot next year, and then it will be much more interesting ( I think it's normal to see a manufacturer wins aigainst private teams and the rules are not very well made concerning the equivalence diesel/gasoline.

This really came as no suprise but, hey, a win's a win. Congratulations.

Expect a flood of diesel-based commercials from Audi in the coming months.

Great victory for Audi! Now it's almost certain that we will see a V12-diesel in the A8!

Sources told me that the V12 TDI is been testing in both the S8 and the Q7. And rumours say that the S8 will come as an alternative for the V10, a V12 TDI!
