Le Mans

In the last hour of the 2008 24 Hours of Le Mans, the rain has started again, after teams had switched to slicks. With what looks like more rain then we have seen all race now on the track, there was a mass dive for the pit lane to swap back to rain or intermediate tread tires. Both the #3 R10 TDI and Peugeot 908 were briefly pushed into their garages.

The night stints have come and gone, as has the rain; the track is still wet, buT the rain has subsided and the track is drying slowly. The No. 2 Audi remains in the lead, with the No. 7 Peugeot nipping at their heels. The Peugeot is running a couple seconds quicker a lap then the R10 TDI, but is still down a lap. The race is still anyones to be had, and the Le Mans Circuit is a cruel mistress at times.
