24 Hours LeMans 2013

I'm going to try and watch some of it. Audi is amazing, but I think it's time for other brands to step up - it's no fun seeing the same

Audi is amazing, but I think it's time for other brands to step up - it's no fun seeing the same team win it over and over and over.

Cap the $$, restrict the cars, something - make it more competitive.

Agree'd. The fault is not Audi. If you want to beat them - drive faster!

You're correct, but some teams don't have the funding that Audi does, so at some point you either need to cap the spending or some sort of luxury tax that bleeds over to help the other teams become more competitive.

Pretty soon Audi is going to have a solar/wind powered car that still wins the LMP class.

Isn't that what LMP2 is for? Besides, if Toyota isn't up to the task (they spent billions in F1 and never won a race) then I imagine Porsche will show up next year with the intent to show Audi who the boss is at Le Mans.... as long as they don't ram the Nissan ZEOD RC off the track!
