Tree'd.

Also, apparently no rain for at least an hour.

Schumacher was driving so slowly in the demo lap because above a certain speed it counts as testing?

Oh lord.

Makes sense, I'm sure F1 teams have taken advantage of things like this to do some basic testing.

 

[TopGearFTW]

Yeah, after thinking about it further I seem to remember Ferrari doing tons of special corporate events (sure it wasn't just Ferrari, but that's what I remember) just so they could test new parts sneakily.

I am enjoying the race though, disappointing about the Nissan but that's racing I suppose.

Shouldn't count as testing if its an old car. Maybe go slow on gp track. The loop shouldn't matter. But guess it does

Could easily put new parts in the old car and gather data. It's not perfect but it's still perfectly usable.

The 007 Aston Martin is flying!

Sabine Running well in 6th! I think with 3 Hours in and at 3am here in Aus I'm heading off to bed! But I hope #123 Picks up over night and will continue watching in the morning. Hope the Live Timing comes up as well on that App!

[TopGearFTW]

Lot of support for #123 it seems, several people asking for updates about them.

 

[will-i-am]

Audi just has to be patient. They're great endurance teams

 

[Furinkazen]

#1 Audi is mad with SL driver

Yeah, but it will be close because that Aston is also very fast.

Wasn't this the 350SLK?

Yes, I asked for updates on the 123# car at the Le Mans Radio forum, many users (apparently one of them from GTplanet), were giving some info. Then the commentary's of the radio responded directly!

 

[will-i-am]

Yeah, but it will be close because that Aston is also very fast.

Yes sir!!
