Hi All:

___Although I think the coverage is quite unspectacular (the initial Irish commentators were all over the damn place), the action can be seen at the following: 24 Hours of Le Mans – Live Streaming Coverage (http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/lm24-le-mans-live-streaming-video-coverage/)

___A bit over 6-hours into the race and heading into the evening/night, the Peugeot 908 HDi’s are one and two with the Audi R15’s in number 3 and 4 8 and 16-seconds back respectively.

___The #3 Audi R15 appears to be out with an ingestion of gravel or something?

___Good Luck

HI All:

___A long way to go as a Peugeot 908 holds onto the lead with only one R15 in chase...

___The live video stream from the Speed channel is gone but audio is available from Radio Le Mans at the following:

___Just an hour off the half distance mark of the 77th running of the 24 hours of Le Mans, Peugeot Sport continue to lead with the #9 908 Hdi FAP shared by David Brabham , Marc Gene and Alex Wurz. Behind, the battle for second continues with Allan McNish making best of the frugal #1 Audi R15 TDI which is able to lap longer between pitstops than the pace-setting Peugeot team.

___McNish, the defending race winner, is currently a lap adrift of the leading Peugeot while Franck Montagny has been back on a charge in the third-placed #8 908 following an earlier suspected suspension problem that saw Sebastien Bourdais relinquish the lead.

___The Peugeot being run by Pescarolo Sport remains a strong fourth with Simon Pagenaud behind the wheel after the early race pit incident with the sister 908 driven by Pedro Lamy. Lola Aston Martin are a solid fifth ahead of the two Kolles Racing R10 Audis.

___Good Luck

___Wayne

Those Peugeots are quick cars. I'm cheering for Audi and they have their work cut out for them, but there's nobody better to reel in the 908's than Capello, McNish and Kristensen.
