Le Mans 2009

My 2nd trip to Le Mans!

  • First of all: Thanks a lot to Jörg for being so kind to leave “our gadget” to me! I JUST LOVE IT!!!
  • I was very excited about Aston Martin‘s engagement in the LMP1 class trying to catch the overall victory again after exactly 50 years!
  • 2009 was also in the light of Ferrari: Exactly 60 years ago Ferrari started its engagement at Le Mans in 1949.
  • The third highlight was certainly the brand new racer Audi R15 TDi

Comments
  • Thanks a lot again to Pinky! This time we drove to Le Mans with a bigger bus which was much more comfortable!
  • CHGamers (Dubi, Jörg, Coni, Jochen and Balz) joined Pinky for his trip to the Sarthe. Kai moved to New York / New Jersey but he followed the race live at a Forza 3 special event… But Kai, we missed you!
  • New cars: Check out the year 2009 on the race car overview page
  • Lessons Learned: Watching the start and the finish from the start/finish straight is much better than somewhere at the track
