Why no Bentley formation finish?

I think both of the Bentleys, and behind both of the Audis, were too close to take any risks... and teams are affraid that an stopped engine could no go on...

was the porsche incident 2001 or 2000? i thought 2000 and i'm pretty sure there were no audis involved...just two banzai pilots clashing at the ford chicane! ever since then i always stick up for those droning jellybeans!

It was 2000 race, and Babini was involved with, if I can remember, the Taisan Advan Porsche (not positive on this one)... but it seems that the Audis slowing down caused problems for that last rush...

FG1, we where in the Total stand and also felt the end was a bit flat, can't explain why, just did'nt seem to have the passion.

I think it's too bad there's no 'after last lap' waving lap... maybe they fear of broken engine possibilities...

:confused: I am sure that after '99 and '01 there was a winding down lap for everyome to flag wave and cheer etc. We were at Karting Nord watching the finish and everyone thare was waiting for the parade finish, shame but who cares Bentley 1 & 2 that's all that matters.

The two Porsches battle was a classic

You're right that one didn't finish - One was being driven by Fabio Babini, That car is now driven by the Jones twins in the FIA GT championship. I think the other was the Taisan 911 that won the class.
