    Audi built a special long-tail R18 to take to Le Mans this year. Here's a bit of text from Jalopnik to go along with the video:

    I've been wondering about Audi's "long tail" R18. Apparently it's not much longer than the regular car. Given the video above (post 26) this seems like as good a place as any for the comparison pics.

    If you have time for it, here's a full 3-hour Speed broadcast of the 2002 ALMS race at Three Rivers. If you want to skip the pre-race stuff jump to the 38 minute mark.

    Here's a nearly 2 hour broadcast of the 1999 ALMS race at Mosport. Panoz Spyders and Dodge Vipers are the big story in this one. You even get some 1999 commercials, for better or worse...mostly worse...

    Nice find Steve. It's a shame such races don't happen anymore.

    Apparently the noises you'll hear emanating from Porsche's P1 contender for Le Mans, etc, come from a V4 engine.

    Way back when I had a couple of SAAB 96's with a V-4 somehow I think

    that is where the similarity ends!
