Relive the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans, a true endurance classic that tested every limit of man and machine. Audi and Peugeot went head-to-head in a relentless battle for supremacy, with strategy, reliability, and pure speed deciding the outcome. From breathtaking night stints to heart-pounding final hours, this race captured the raw essence of Le Mans and delivered moments that would define a new era of endurance racing.
00:00They came out with absolutely nothing, not even a single car running at the finish, and for Audi there's a fourth 1-2-3 result in 2000, 2002, 2004, and now 2010, it's been a long time since they've been dominant, and this will not be considered a year in which they were dominant, will it?
00:19No, I think this will be the first of all of those four victories when they truly didn't think they could do it, or certainly didn't expect to do it, and I don't think we can say that Peugeot came away with nothing, so to speak, because they did come away with a new lap record, a new race record, and I think just a record overall, they beat the qualifying record, so they certainly have not come away without trying and without achieving something.
00:41Yeah, and arguably without Peugeot pushing so hard and really stepping up the game as we came, we wouldn't have had this new distance record either, that was set, of course, by Audi, but then Audi obviously rise through an even number of years, 10 years ago, wasn't it, in 2000, and 10, 2000, 2000, they came here with the R8, and they were done with them here, they are 10 years later, with the R15, of course.
01:09Absolutely.
01:09And what will they bring next year, when they bring, not that trophy back, but, okay, everybody leave that together, although there will be some stride to healers on the phone, but big baby, when they bring that back next year, what will they bring back with which to defend it?
01:25That is going to be one of the most fascinating stories, I think, at next year's level, where the rules take us, because this is definitely the end, not of an era necessarily, but certainly of a chapter here,
01:37and at the end, the final line will be, who would have fought it?
01:47Let's not drop the trophy, guys, but what an incredible picture that is, that is not something they will ever forget.
01:53Absolutely.
01:54This surely is the most unexpected, the most remarkable in terms of twists and turns, and just a phenomenal achievement.
02:06Well, what a moment to say, you know, for the guys on the left there, on the rise of your picture, on the left of the podium, for Christensen,
02:18to be there a number of times, they've been there a number of times, Alan with a portrait course back in 1989, long time ago, really rejuvenated his career, and put him on a stellar path.
02:31So, Tom is getting ready to see.
02:33Tom is going to be absolutely, I'm going to experience, and he celebrates here a remarkable achievement to Le Mans, one, two, three, and just again props to our P2 winners, the Stracker racing team, in GT1,
02:41a lot of competition with SLE, and in GT2 with the Belmere Proton team, with Holtcher.
