Glaring omission...

Just checked out the Le Mans 2008 site (quite fancy it this year) and read this introduction to the race...

Quote:
This exceptional circuit (the longest in the world at 13.65 kms) bathes in an aura created by the most renowned manufacturers and the greatest drivers in motor sport. Since 1923 Bentley, Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, Ferrari, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Porsche, Matra, Renault, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and today Audi have all contributed to writing the Le Mans legend.
Think we should insist they add one more to the list ?

Re: Glaring omission...

Do they mean continuous participation? I mean I haven't seen Bentley in LeMans for a couple years. Haha. Oh well, guess they just choose to omit things...
