At most races scrutineering is a rather unglamorous process where each car goes before a team of engineers for a pre-race inspection.

Our flight leaves for France tomorrow as we head into Le Mans race week but before we leave we wanted to share a quick phone interview we had with Allan McNish yesterday.

Interestingly, Team Kolles and their R10 TDIs fall under 'other'. Other features include Audi road test ...
