OK Folks,
We're a little over two hours into the race and the battle between Audi and Peugeot is really fierce; one of the Peugeots has crashed out of the race already (around an hour and a quarter in); the safety car was out and a few teams managed to take cars in for driver changes before the pit-lane closed. One of those cars was the Number 1 Audi R10; until that point driven by Allan McNish. After a stop McNish had been gaining pace, and starting to pose a real threat to Peugeot's lead of the series. When the car went in Dindo Capello took the wheel; but shortly after the safety car went back in, was involved in an accident with the remaining Peugeot. The dirty frog (sorry, it's getting emotional here) was able to make it out of the gravel within seconds but Capello wasn't so lucky. However, with a bit of help from a couple of burly chaps in firesuits and a Toyota pick-up he was back on the track not long after.
The number 1 car is now making time up again and re-gaining places... More soon...
-NEWSFLASH- As I write this, the safety car is out again - neither R10 involved this time though
