If you did, I've got a couple questions:

1. What did you think of the finish?
2. Will the diesels become the predominant powerplant in the near future?

It was exciting, lots of spills & thrills. Nice to see those GT cars sprint around, with the 3 classes racing all at once, leaves little margin for error as demonstrated.
- finish seamed predictable, doesn't Audi win most of the time?.
- currently only Audi uses "diesel" as far as I know, I guess the technology could be shared between Porsche as well, now that they bought 50% of VW which is also Audi.
Honda will be importing diesels next year for passenger cars so very probable that they will showcase it in racing as well. GM is the only one behind on diesel technology
as far as I know.
- nice to see a lot of familiar names from F1 & CART

1. No unfortunately, but I will (download the torrent).
2. They already are in Europe both by sales, and by Le Mans domination (Audi, Audi vs. Peugeot turbo-diesel battle)

It's 4 clases LMP1, LMP2, GT1 and GT2.
No Audi doesn't win all the time anymore, not since the Porsche RS Spyder started to win on the twistier tracks in 2007 and now on the endurance ones too like Sebring 2008.
At Sebring 2008 there were 2 turbo-diesel manufacturers Audi and Peugeot (who came from LMS).
