the Audi team is to win this year . They were running 1-2-3 earlier and the
lead driver was still pushing hard in the corners this late in the race ,
giving 99% . They even changed a gearbox in four mins.
There was some fabulous in-car footage from the DAMS Caddy with the cam just
to the left of the driver's head , virtually giving us an impression of
what he was seeing albeit without helmets on . If WSC can simulate that
effect and try to create a little of the atmosphere of the great race then I
can see us having some fabulous online contests next year . We could setup
a multi hour event of our own to be held over a weekend , either doing all
the driving ourselves or sharing with a "team-mate" . Many of us in Europe
now have free evening and weekend internet access just as you Americans
have had for a long time so call costs would certainly not be an inhibitor .
I hope the West Bros put 100% into WSC to make it as great as , if not
better than GPL . It's a shame that we'll have to wait until next year , but
as long as it's done properly then it'll be worth it in the long run . I
must admit that I was one of the saps who bought Le Mans 24hr , what a waste
of 30 quid . If I knew of someone local who wanted it I'd give it away.
Well I can see out of the window here in sunny Wales that there isn't a
cloud in the sky (makes a ***y change) so I'm off to get some cycling
done . Bye for a few hours.

ps If you've heard it then what was that prototype with the high pitched
engine , screaming down the straights at Le Mans . It sounded fabulous . If
that was the Ferrari 333sp then it'll be a joy to race in WSC with good
quality speakers.
