Le Mans 24 hour race - 2015

[Vertigo]

Ferrari on fire.

EDIT: Looks like a puncture and tyre rubbing.

Not actually enjoying drinking beer tonight. I've brought a bottle of cider downstairs instead.

 

[Skeeter]

Ok thats it, I'm calling it. Bed time.

See you all at about 8am!

 

[Vertigo]

Yeah take your time marshalls, no rush or anything

 

[Flibster]

Porsche #18 gone straight on again.

Just need a very long straw and the world largest can cozy.

 

[Skeeter]

I literally had the remote in my hand about to turn it off and suddenly they cut to the #18 in the gravel!

 

[Glaucus]

I really hope its not an epic finish, I may end up missing my holiday! I've got to be at Gatwick at 2pm!

That was poor planning.

 

[Skeeter]

That was poor planning.

Tell me about it. If it was an hour either way I could watch it at home or in the departure lounge, but at the moment it looks like I'll be in a Gatwick carpark at 2pm

 

[Skeeter]

I think you could make an hour long highlights reel of all the screw ups the #31 has made!

Is that the ByKolles out for the first time in hours?

Edit: JESUS!

 

[Flibster]

#31 comes in with 2 flat rears, no lights at the front and bodywork all over the place.

What the hell did he do?

 

[Vertigo]

Porsche Curve Pinball by the looks of it.

 

[Jonny69]

Ligier big off. Looked like a tyre blow out as he went over the rumble strip.

Lots of cars losing their front lights this year when they have a smash.

 

[Flibster]

Oooooh...

That'll certainly mess the car up a bit.

 

[Skeeter]

What the hell did he do?

Filled his pants while having visions of the Magnussesn/Corvette crash flash through his head!

 

[Skeeter]

#31 back out already!

Wow. For a privateer team thats fantastic!

 

[Vertigo]

Just a thought but, as has been the case with other manufacturers such as Porsche and Ford, have Audi not now earned the privilege of having a section of the track named after them?

Instead we get sponsored crap like the Playstation Chicane.

 

[Flibster]

#19 Porsche just lost 40 seconds on that last lap.

Went from 3:25 to a 4:05 Lead dropped from 56 seconds to 16.

[edit]

And one lap later, back down into the 3:21's

 

[Vertigo]

Right need kip!

 

[Jonny69]

Have gained a race buddy for the late night shift!
