Lars,

our sound was heavy metal, the people went crazy. this was soooo nice.

My friend (C5) some cars back in line had B&B bullets on his car. He told me the people screamed "we love belgium"...

These people in Le Mans realy love cars!!

That has never happened with the Corvette C6.Rs at Le Mans.

Aston Martin Racing's two DBR9s had 25 more kilos in the 2006 24 Hours of Le Mans compared to 2005.
