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.

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.
