Not sure which bit you mean but the racing was awesome. I'll have to start recording LMS on Eurosport.

Audi 'undertaking' the Pug @ 0.25, off the track ?

all's fair in love and war
and with Audi vs Pug - it's a big war wink

besides, didn't Kimi Raikonnen do something similar at La Source some years ago during an F1 race ?
he seemed to get away with it

+1. Not sure which move you mean, but it seems fair. It's quite normal to gain/lose advantage due to backmarkers. I'd say the standards of driving were very high there, several times it could have gone wrong and didn't, it was a pleasure to watch! Thanks for the clip!

Shouldn't the Audi back off instead going beyond the white line?

I think the Audi that was outside the white line was lapping the other Audi. The Pug passed it just afterwards.

That video needs to be preserved because there is a moment of history right there. Eurosport actually showing some live LMS racing before the last 10 minutes of the race!

Yes. all fair and legal.

the lead Audi left the track to avoid a much slower car because no other part of the track was available. The car was the leading pack of 3 at the time and as such neither gained nor lost any advantage so the move was entirely fair and legal.

Had the 2nd place car carried out the move and overtaken the lead car by leaving the track then that would have been a different matter

Under Mad Max though I still the result would have been different had the driver been black.
