Motorsport Off Topic Thread

Meanwhile in the Monaco Formula E, Dan Di...Ticktum has claimed yet another victim, running a guy into the wall heading down to the Nouvelle chicane after the tunnel.

Why that guy was ever allowed back behind the wheel of a race car is beyond me.

Should never have been allowed back after his ban. He's had a bad temper pretty much every year since in whatever he has drove.

*edit*

Meanwhile, after taking over at the pit stop. Max has been trying to channel his inner Mark Webber.

He was a child when he was banned; he deserved to be given another chance after a fair penalty. Not that he shows much sign of getting better, despite reports to the contrary, and his motormouth probably cost him a seat in F1.
 
Huge high speed crash for #75 Audi, puncture at the end of Schwedenkreuz tipped him into the barrier, thankfully the car spinning took a lot of energy out of the hit. Still a big crash though debris everywhere!!! That will be a LONG code 60, barrier damage.

Nearly 200k watching the live stream at the moment. I'm sure last year most I remember seeing was like 80-90k? Verstappen really pulling in numbers. can only imagine the view numbers in the last hour if he's still running.
Nice pass on the KCMG AMG two wheels on the grass!

Yeah just watched a clip of that , da costa drove square into his left rear wheel. Da costa was driving poorly at the spa 6 hrs in the alpine. Tried to take out both Astons but took himself out.
 
I'm an old man these days, BUT... I better just stay up as long as I possibly can to watch this one. :cool:
Plenty of years it's been the wrong choice, but this year... It will be the right choice. :D

It's been many many years since I've been able to be at the track to watch this one, but it's always one of the best.

Ticktum's onboard camera showed him look in his mirror and move over to the left just as they got to the braking zone for the chicane.

The crash was all on Ticktum. Because he's a dangerous little ****.
 
Gutted for #911, Estre just dropped it. Its not looking great on the rear end but its not unrecoverable. I think thats any chance of a fight for the top spots gone. Its just so close between the top teams here now. Anything could happen though still 20hrs to go.
He was properly hunting down #3

AND a mustang in pieces on the same corner...

*Edit* Looks like #911 stopped on circuit now ah well. guess its over for them.

I want to like watching endurance racing but the coverage is poor. No one is going to be able to watch the whole 24 hrs but they don't seem to show enough replays.

Car has gone into the barrier and totally destroyed but we've not seen it.

Coverage of endurance racing especially on Nürburgring can be hit and miss. There is always a round up and replay of any significant action on the hour every hour.
 
My word. Did not expect this at all.

Edit: Replay of the last accident was God awful. Cutting away from it as it was hitting the wall. :/

It's had enough going on so far. We're not in the autopilot stages just yet.
Shocked by the Estre spin. That was just awful luck. :'(

It did look incredibly greasy and he was pushing hard to close the gap to #3. Just one of those unfortunate incidents considering the Mustang binned it on the same corner just after

Surprised they didn't black flag the 911 dropping oil, or maybe they didn't spot it?

I dunno even Hindy spotted it from the commentary booth.
