Jinxed that didn't I?

BTW, wish I knew what the music they were using during some of the montages was, Shazam has no idea.

What car was it that the driver was told to stop braking through a couple of the corners because it was generating too much power and they haven't got anywhere to store it?

Thought the leading no 1 Audi was out for a second then! Seems he was just doing a turn it off and on again

Vertigo · 15 Jun 2014 at 10:13

It's running really slowly

Did he just say "bag of nails" over the radio? That's not good...

Psycho Ned · 15 Jun 2014 at 10:21

Survival of the fittest here looks like the no 1 Audi is in big trouble!

The Porsches batteries were on the verge of overheating earlier so they're not safe yet either!

Wonder how quick they can get that Audi sorted.

Aww leave them alone, they gave it a shot and succeeded in hitting the 300km/h mark and doing a full lap on electric power alone.

And the thing that caused their retirement was the gearbox, so nothing wrong with the system they're 'pioneering' in the race.

Possible #8 podium? If it gets rather hot towards the end of the race, the Porsche could have serious problems with the battery temperatures.

You can't say that after a couple of laps. There was nearly a full day of running for other things to go wrong.

He's got it to the pits, they might be able to get it going again.

Skeeter · 15 Jun 2014 at 12:10

I've massively overslept and woke up to see the #7 out and Webber in the pit!

benhaha85 · 15 Jun 2014 at 12:10

Need to see more of the lmp2 race, it's looking like a cracker.

benhaha85 · 15 Jun 2014 at 12:11

Thanks tv director!

Skeeter · 15 Jun 2014 at 12:14

Yeah I know. Brundle gets passed and the top 3 are covered by a few seconds so... ad break.

Ceryndrion · 15 Jun 2014 at 12:14

"Don't go anywhere, we've waited 10 minutes to see this..." *cuts to commercials*

Blah!

Were eurosport this bad for adverts last year? I'm never buying advan tyres after seeing that advert a gazillion times.

Ceryndrion · 15 Jun 2014 at 12:18

I don't remember it being quite so bad last year, but then, that was a year ago, and I have enough trouble remembering last week.
