2011 Le Mans

2011 24 Hours of Le Mans Coverage.

At the half way mark #2 Audi R18 leads with Peugeot close behind

3:00 AM Sunday Le Mans France. The 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans is officially half over, the one remaining Audi R18 TDI is still topping the leader board with the 3 factory Peugeot’s close on their heels. The race has had some of the closest racing we have seen in the last 5 years, as well as some of the most terrifying moments in recent history with the 2 Audi R18’s crashing badly in separate incidents. One can only imagine how bad things would have been if Audi was still running a open top car.

Update: #1 Audi R18 TDI Crashes hard before Indianapolis Corner

10:40 PM Le Mans, France. Mike Rockenfeller crashed hard while passing a Ferrari 458 Italia near Indianapolis Corner. The car has disintegrated, and we are running full course yellow. Reports say that Mike Rockenfeller has climbed from the car under his own power, and over the armco barrier. We are waiting for more information and will post ast we get it.

Update: Rocky has been taken to the Le Mans hospital to have some more in-depth tests run to make sure there are no hidden injuries after such a huge traumatic crash.

Latest Update: It has been reported that Mike has a small flesh wound to his right arm, but no other injuries. This shows the incredible safety of the Audi R18’s to have two huge crashes this year and no injured drivers.

6 hours completed in the 2011 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans

#8 Peugeot 908

9:00 PM Le Mans, France With 6 hours of racing completed, one hour of which was run under full course yellow flag, the first 5 cars are separated by a little over a minute. Audi is down to two R18’s after the #3 car being driven by Allan McNish collected the Luxury Racing Ferrari 458 Italia, near “The Esses”. The crash was one of the most violent crashes I have seen, almost flipping over the Armco barrier and into a group of photographers. Surprisingly nobody was injured and Allan is back at the track after being thoroughly checked out by doctors at a hospital in Le Mans.

The #7 Peugeot 908 and #2 Audi R18 have been swapping the lead on and off, with the Audi being able to go at a quicker speed, while the Peugeots can go for an extra lap before refueling.
