The wave of the future? Maybe we'll see Volts and Priuses racing at Daytona some day.

That accident with the Toyota and Audi was amazing. Still can’t believe the drivers survived.
Audi did a good job with an electric car.

Americans are proud that when Ford made the effort, they won LeMans ONCE.
Audi has won 11 of the last 13, with gasoline, diesel and diesel hybrid. This year the 4 Audis that started, finished 1, 2, 3, 5.

I swear the other teams deliberately bumped the Nissan Deltawing off the course.

And the poor Corvette team suffered from crew errors and a constant failure of components.

Hats off to the Audi crew who can and did have a nearly destroyed car back on the course in just minutes.

E-track and diesels, who knows maybe Nascar will by law from an Obama Executive decision be forced to allow diversity in its teams.

Fantastic. I wonder what kind of mileage it got.

Just run a few conductors down the track at Daytona and ...

Seriously, if you can get a Prius or Volt going 200 mph with an endurance of 3200 miles I'll buy one.
