The Charouz-Aston, Dome and Pescarolo are positions 7-9
Corvettes leading GT1 from DBR9's.

Final results
The #2 Audi wins from the #7 Peugeot by 1 lap. After 24 hours racing and 380 laps of Circuit La Sarthe, around 4 minutes separated these cars.
Tom Kristensen's 8th win at Le Mans, superb record. Allan McNish's 2nd win, and Rinaldo Capello's 3rd victory. Since 2000, Audi have won 8 Le Mans, the only exception being a victory by Bentley, which was effectively an Audi win anyway.
Pescarolo are 'best of the rest' in 7th behind the 3 Peugeots and 3 Audi's. This makes them the first petrol powered car. Oreca came 8th, 5 laps behind the Pescarolo. Charouz had some technical problems but battled back to finish 9th, 8 laps behind the Pescarolo and 3 laps behind Oreca.
The Dutch Porsche RS Spyder co-driven by Jos the Boss won LMP2 and are 10th overall.
David Brabham and Darren Turner have completed back-to-back GT1 wins in their DBR9, leading the Corvette of Jan Magnussen by a lap.
Ferrari have dominated GT2, holding 1-2-3-4 in class, with Mika Salo and Gianmaria Bruni in the winning Risi car. Australian Alex Davison is in the first Porsche on road, in 5th. Both Spykers retired.
*obviously i haven't mentioned all the drivers in all the cars involved, I only mentioned drivers of note. |

| is that the same allan mcnish that was in f1 a few years ago? |

| Trance Nutter |
yes
he made his name in sportscars, went to F1 and sucked in a sucky car, and then went back to sportscars.
At the end of the day it was probably the Audi's efficiency which won it for them, the winning car made 3 less pit stops than the 2nd placed Peugeot.
More F1 names, in the second placed Peugeot was Marc Gene and Jacques Villeneuve, in 3rd was Franck Mantagny, Ricardo Zonta and Christian Klien. |

i don't remember him being in f1 O_O (i don't recognise that name..)
edit: thanks to wikipedia
"Bruni did, in fact, join Minardi for the 2004 Formula One season, though he struggled in a car which was considerably less developed than the rest of the grid. He was one of only two drivers to contest the majority of the season without scoring any World Championship points."
that explains it :) |
