I think he is an example of a guy who has a massive personal fortune and these projects that he does are just to stretch his ideas and imagination. Good for him!!!

Le Mans always seems to have an twist the is so sad....and once again Allan M ...real screwed up, and he was devastated.
I hope they continue to push for more radical engineering.
24 hours at that level is unbelievable.

Yep. Audi has devoted incredible resources to their LeMans effort.
McNish, have to admire that guy. How many wins there?
24 hours is really a test. Thirty years ago it was all about saving the car to get to the end. Now it's a 24 hr sprint! Flat out the entire way.
