P2 Porsche wins at Mid-Ohio..............ALMS

RaceComp Engineering · 05-21-2006, 07:25 PM

I think Audi was in France for Lemans testing and it was just Dyson and others.....

I think this is the case. Our resident LMP informant just gave this info.

Any hear otherwise?

Audi ran one R8 for McNish and dindo....Porsches ran well...and into each other at one point

DILLIGAF Racing · 05-21-2006, 08:56 PM

yeah, Audi has been using the R8's so that they could get more testing done at LeMans

DILLIGAF Racing · 05-21-2006, 08:58 PM

Did anyone see the Flying Aston Martin? Left the track, and went airborne for 142 feet. It was in a practice lap.

Nope, he was just kicking the tires and taking it for a test drive.

DILLIGAF Racing · 05-21-2006, 10:01 PM

track was a little wet, and he lost control under braking. At least thats what the Commentators were saying

AndrewSS · 05-21-2006, 10:50 PM

oh boy, that aston is going for a ride... anymore pictures?

DILLIGAF Racing · 05-21-2006, 11:28 PM

no its a true picture. The car flew I think they said higher and longer than the first Wright brothers flight. The car flew 142 feet, and the plane did 120 feet. I wish I could find the video of it, its nuts to see moving.

DILLIGAF Racing · 05-22-2006, 12:27 AM

Yeah, I was getting my "offs" confused... Was thinking of the Ferrari? that went off with about 15 minutes to go.

DILLIGAF Racing · 05-22-2006, 12:30 AM

yeah, the P1 car "misjudged" where the Ferrari was, and punted him.

AndrewSS · 05-22-2006, 01:10 AM

WOW! That is nuts... yikes... thats amazing, next time I am on mid-ohio I am gonna be reminding myself how bad things can get if you mess up on the back straight, geeeesh!
