@ ty00123 Radio le mans returns in 2hr 30min

Thank you very much.

Boy you're hard to please, the holden and IS-F are in class SP8, production cars over 4litres with minimum mods to engine and body

So then the Holden must be severely downtuned from V8 SC spec like I said earlier, because V8 SC are not even close to production cars.

Sunrise in Germany is approaching rapidly. Its a cool site in the official stream

The sunrise is a great sight indeed, I'm glad the forcast rain never came it would have spoiled what has become one of the closest races for years:tup:

 

[hellnback]

Hmmm

Pity that the FIA GT1 class cars aren't competing...

 

[Wardy 944]

Kutscher80 said the race was back live on German TV at 6am, that's around 50 minutes from now, hopefully we'll get the full track cameras back

 

[Earth]

I'm waiting for one of these cars in the top 4 to expire

For me part of the fun of watching an endurance race is watching the mechanics fix any problems on the car

 

[hellnback]

Will the streaming then have more than pit straight view?

 

[Wardy 944]

looks like the Holden is having problems it's still in the pits and has dropped down to 90th



@Hellnback we get to see the German TV pictures, it's something like 6am-9am and again at 2pm-5pm

I haven't followed the thread, but I have followed the race and I'd just like to say that the first hour of footage was some of the best racing Ive ever seen.

It may have been midnight here, but the battle between the GT3 RSR and the Ford GT was absolutely amazing and I was very awake watching it. The camera mounted in the Porsche really captured the action. And when the Porsche tried to make a pass down the stright of the gt track and the two cars chose different sides of the pack of other racers to go down...it turned into a drag race because the Porsche wasn't behind the GT to get the slipstreem.

Hope to see more of this when the full footage comes back on. GO R8s and Ford GT!

 

[Gabkicks]

hopefully someone uploads the battle to youtube, cus I have been watching UFC -_-

Mmmm.... Donuts.... mmmmm...

 

[Boffin]

it almost went for a full hour until the Ford GT pulled away before spinning and causing very minor front damage

The Holden is a freaking production car. Stop pulling facts from third-world space.

 

[Earth]

Ford GT went from 5th to 11th really fast

Must be the amateur behind the wheel again

Is your life really that miserable? All you've done in almost every single post I've read of yours is criticize someone

Go take your anger out somewhere else

👎

 

[Studentdriver]

How did the #99 get such a big lead? Are they a full pit stop ahead now or something?

 

[hellnback]

Earth...

Doesn't look like the Ford GT has crossed the line in 38 minutes

 

[Wardy 944]

the #1 Porsche had a stop go penalty, it dropped from 1st to 4th and has'nt really recovered

 

[Studentdriver]

Oops. Didn't realize that was the #2 in second now and not the #1.

 

[Boffin]

does anyone have a good position site? The one posted in the last pages that showed all cars doesn't update....it reckons the GT is still 5th

 

[Earth]

Earth...

Well, I had hoped that they could have stayed in 5th and maybe 2 of the cars ahed of them break down and they salvage a podium, but I guess not.

2nd - 3rd - 4th separated by 30 seconds

 

[Wardy 944]

yeah it is a bit of a pain you have to completley close the page/tab including the live streaming (it's the same site) also it's not a real time ticker it only updates every 10 minutes or so

 

[Boffin]

how did #1 Porsche overtake the R8? .....they were a way back not too long ago

EDIT: Damn, the R8 took took first again. I wan't to see this!

 

[Wardy 944]

SP8-> Maximum displacement 6.4l.
SP9-> GT3
SP10 -> GT4

 

[Kutscher80]

The #1 had a gasoline pump problem and a stop and go Penalty.
3 Minutes Stop & Go (Overtaking under yellow flags)


#1 right now in the pits!
#2 now in 2nd position.

5th Position -> CUP Porsche with Uwe Alzen (Not a GT3 car)

 

[Wardy 944]

The #1 had a gasoline pump problem and a stop and go Penalty.
3 Minutes Stop & Go (Overtaking under yellow flags)

which has now been overturned, so the #1 Porsches is actually in the lead

It was wrongly given the penalty, whatever the #1's final time is 3min's will be removed
