No Photoshop there Chop, thats a real photo, like I said I saw it and Pedro was easily six feet in the air, I really thought when he landed it was going to dig in and roll but it just skipped again and slammed into the tire barrier broadside...HARD!

Good shot, I'd get a copyright logo on it pronto if it is the genuine article and get talking to an agency.  who knows you might be able to pay for a visit to LM with the proceeds.  FS.

Just to clarify - I didn't take this photo.  It was posted by some guy on the ALMS forums.

You can usually recognize my work by the abundance of photos of my feet and the inside of lens caps.  Grin

You don't win Le Mans - you outlast it.

That's an impressive sequence, very well done. Also, good to see that it didn't end worse.

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

I've seen this sequence posted on several sites now.  Has anyone seen the video of it yet?  My Dad and a friend both said that during the CBS coverage of the race Sunday they showed the Aston flight (and remarked about it traveling further than the Wright Bros. first flight) but neither taped it.  I suppose it'll end up out on the web eventually.  I'd like to see how it started because when I wheeled around it was already well airborne, I was following another gaggle of cars heading down the other side of the hill toward the Honda bridge when it first got launched.

They replayed it on the jumbotrons at the track on Sunday towards the end of the race.

The 007 car also beached itself pretty well at the end of thunder valley on Saturday.  It was towed out, then left a nice smoky burnout leaving the scene.  Grin
