8:09 PM We're into the third hour of six in Wednesday night's practice session. A couple offs, it's still raining hard, and much time still left at the circuit/media center.
The story today more than anything is Peugeot lodging a protest against Audi for the German marque's front wing and aero. The Audi passed homologation months ago and made it through two rounds of scrutineering unharmed.
So we wait with baited breath for a ruling from the sanctioning body, the ACO. Unfortunately that ruling won't come until after the event. It will be like F1 and possibly racing under protest! Audi has said the bodywork is fine so it could just be case of classic French cheese and whine. Or it could be legit; at present, we don't know.
I did two interviews today with Risi and Corvette, with stories to come later in the week. Porsche story from Tuesday is below. Also, the star of Le Mans this year is Patrick Dempsey, best known as Dr. McDreamy from "Grey's Anatomy" on ABC. He is racing a Ferrari F430 GT in the GT2 class for Team Advanced Engineering, a joint effort between AF Corse of Italy and Team Seattle of well, Seattle.
Out for now, cheers.
