WOW! Look all these BEAUTIFUL and FAST LE MANS cars. They were beautiful till 2005 when Audi came with a TDi car. That's not exactly beautiful one.

They were very fast in 1998 but the gearboxes was what stop them from winning. 1999 was a tough year, Crashes and flat tires ended any chance. Plus BMW had special AP brakes that reduced the need to change pads.

in my opinion, no one get mad at me for this, but in my opinion the greatest drivers on earth are the ones who are in endurance races such as the 24 hours of lemans and win them. Its possibly the toughest type of racing, if you think about it...rally is up there

Not really, because ... ( 8 months ago by ridoxsupra)

Not really, because many former F1 drivers leave F1 and do well in Lemans. It doesn't work the other way around, look at Allan Mcnish. Also, Lemans is a place for drivers who are too old for single seaters to race and still be competitive. Look at guys like Johnny Herbert, Mika Salo, etc. etc.

has kristiansen, biela, pirro or any of those guys been in f1, i forget

I'm not sure about ... ( 8 months ago by ridoxsupra)

I'm not sure about those guys, but I know Kristinsen had a few tests with Minardi and Williams. Single seater guys seem to take Lemans pretty well, heck even someone who's horrible in F1 like Alex Yoong doesn't look bad in Lemans. Not to put Lemans down, because it's awesome, but I think F1 is the pinnacle or racing.

Pirro was in F1 ... ( 8 months ago by Porsche911GT1)

Pirro was in F1 sometime in the early 90s i think. Kristensen was a test driver at best.

i'm not saying the ... ( 8 months ago by wawwwaaa)

i'm not saying the most talented drivers are strictly lemans drivers, what i'm saying is that the best drivers in the world, whether they're from nascar, f1, irl, rally or whatever, the drivers that can win endurance races like the 24 hour of lemans in my opinion are considered the best of the best

How about DTM. A lot of former F1 drivers (Hakkinen), and some of the former F1 drivers aren't all that great (but they weren't hot at F1 either).
DTM is certainly the pinnacle of touring cars, and ranks high among the list.
