Algarve (Portugal), Aug 2 - The third round of the Le Mans Series (LMS) at the Autodromo here ended in a disappointing finish for India's Narain Karthikeyan and his teammates after they failed to be classified in the 1,000-km night-race.

Their Audi R10TDI was able to complete only 149 laps, compared to 215 of the winning Pescarolo Judd of Jean-Christophe Boullion and Christophe Tinseau.

Narain was scheduled to drive the second stint in the car after his team-mate Andrew Meyrick, who was doing the first stint.

Unfortunately, 10 laps into the race, Meyrick, while running sixth, and behind their sister car which was being driven by Christian Bakkerud, spun out of control, damaging both Kolles Audi R10TDIs.

Both cars had to limp back to the pits for extensive repairs. Narains' No.14 car had damaged rear-suspension and body-work, whereas the No.15 car had radiator damage as well as bodywork damage.

In bringing the car back to the pits, Meyrick further compounded the problems by 'cooking' the clutch.
