Iceni Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 despite the collision in the pits.Jeremy Clarkson is well known for his dislike of diesels so I suppose he considers that the real winner was the Lola Aston.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just john Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Excellent result indeed, as far as Jeremy goes, he like'd the Jag diesel (Blackpool run) and guess who designed that [8-|]Peugeot Jaguar diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola2 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Certainly a popular win here, as the crowds after the race seemed much more willing to stay for the presentations etc. The collision in the pits was clownish indeed. This is the first time in 10 years an Audi has not won - the 2003 Bentley was an Audi under the skin, of course - and it was also the best race for some years, confounding the fears of those who thought recession would affect this most prestigious of endurance events. The Lola Astons do sound wonderful - it's been a while since a V12 engine screamed round Le Mans in the prototype class. They put up a great performance.

Will Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Didn't Clarkson take part in an endurance race along with the other Top Gear presenters (and Stig) in a diesel BMW?He might like real Diesel engines like this one. It's also a two-stroke, which should upset his colleague James May who was most uncomplimentary about two-strokes in his Telegraph column on Saturday.
