le mans

[David Eaton]

yes, correct, I wasn't counting the john wickham cars.  that should be no
joest/audi car has failed to finish le mans over 4 years.

wickham may get his payback next year - at least the bentley was reliable,
and didn't suffer gearbox problems which plagued the old cars.

		This is not quite true...  Both of the Audi R8C closed
cockpit cars DNF'ed
