Le Mans 24 hours

[SDK^]

Go Go Go - race on

 

[RSR]

I'm oh so tiered already, you know when I said I was goin to stay awake as long as possible, i fear I have hit that wall.

Just make yourself a strong coffee.

Well if slow cras have been told to stay on race line to stop confusion, I can't see how you can not blame rocky.

Like I said, at Le Mans it's not the responsibility of the slower cars to get out the way of the faster cars. Sure they hang over to one side on Mulsanne, but they can still pass other cars in the same class and it's just too bad for the faster cars if they can't get through.

One of the Pescarolos is out. These are the guys who can take on Audi with 1/10 of their budget

 

[Glaucus]

The corvette is doing rather well

 

[Jonny69]

Another smash at Dunlop?

 

[Glaucus]

#39 Lola
Ferrari with steam in the garage #43 I think, pipes being changed

 

[Glaucus]

Halfway still awake

same here

 

[Jonny69]

Still here. Struggling with some bar wrap on my bike - mainly due to this last beer being 7.5% - but getting there.

 

[Glaucus]

Loving the onboard shots in the dark, it seems to exaggerate the change in direction.

 

[Jonny69]

SO close. 20 seconds between the lead cars after 12 hours is amazing. What a race so far.

Shame there's such a difference between the diesel and petrols now, they're effectively a separate class.

Lets hope the Ferraris hold out in GT. The Vettes are bulletproof and the Ferraris have been down in numbers for a number of years because they never finish. If they can stick it to the end they might give Corvette a bit of a race!

Still watching it here. Can't remember the last time I've watched this much sport in 1 day.... eek!

 

[Locke]

Davidson sets the fastest lap of the race - 185 laps after Treluyer's previous best. He goes purple in S3 and dips into the 3m27s bracket for the very first time in the race

Beast.

 

[Glaucus]

Apparently on softs.

 

[Amos91]

Safety car out again. #13 Rebellion Racing has stacked it at the Porsche curves.

 

[Glaucus]

Lmp1s aren't doing very well.
