So the last race of 2015 and I have to say that it's been a great season. A lot of races have been great to watch in all classes and it looks like for LMP2 it's going to go to the wire.

Quali was good even though the lights went off for 10 mins causing a 20 min delay. KCMG given grid penalty for track limits, can't help but think WEC/FIA are trying to make it more exciting for the championship. Should be a good race tomorrow, if the lights stay on!

I know they have said the factory team will be there next season, but given the VW press release yesterday, I wonder if this is the last Audi factory team for a while.

Well Dr Ullrich is staying on past the VW/ Audi retirement age.....so you'd think they'll be staying.

They've renewed Dr Wolfgang Ullrich contract for another 2 years, and above the mandatory retirement age for VW staff as well so special dispensation needed.
If they're to abandon motorsport activities with Audi they wouldn't have done it.

Still plenty of time to go. No 7 still needs a lot of points as well.

This is fantastic. FIA WEC is so much more exciting than F1.

In LMP2 I really hope KCMG can keep the lead. Been to Oreca a few times this year with work and they are such a great bunch of people. Really proud of the 05.

Great racing. After reading His Aussieness' s book he deserves a major championship for all the BS he has suffered.
