Default after 101 laps, 4 hour 15 min Alberto R8 #77 in third blew right front tire (was third).

M. Albereto came in for new tire and nose cone. Brake problems flat spotted the tire. Car OK, McNish new driver. R8 still in first, Mueller BMW 2nd, S. Soper BMW third.
Sorry for the delay, my Mboard battery died, had to go get another. Posts on the half hour- go Audi !
