Ferrari engineer just said we are checking. Oh god...

 

[suomi1]

I did that Lamborghini crash so many times...

 

[Downhill Dino]

Both Alpines out then.

I missed these, what happened to them?

 

[Rossell2]

I missed these, what happened to them?

Being a Mechachrome engine, one blew up. The other I'm not sure on but was in its garage for a while.

 

[Tired Tyres]

The leader by 40 plus seconds lead is reporting gearbox temp problems

 

[Savolainen83]

I missed these, what happened to them?

First one blew its engine at Arnage, the second one went into the pitbox and didn't come out again. Apparently something engine related aswell.

WEC timing page has been powered by Mecachrome too it seems, dead

 

[Downhill Dino]

Ah shame about that, I liked the Alpines. Over a quarter over and so many are having all sorts of things going on.

Working okay at my end.

Bourdais in the Kitty litter.

..

and the Art Car back in the garage. We didn't even see it... ah well... drink anyway.

 

[IforceV8]

Working okay at my end.

fiawec.tv still works but live.fiawec.com died.

Its back

 

[Rossell2]

I keep seeing so many errors, problems and clashes that I can't help but think of James Hunts quote, "We're all sitting by the start and finish line waiting for a winner to come past and we don't seem to be getting one."

And there's still 17 and a half hours to go.

 

[Savolainen83]

There goes the #15 BMW.

SAFETY CARS DEPLOYED!

 

[IforceV8]

Big hit 15 BMW, taken out by Kubica

 

[MatskiMonk]

OH FFS

 

[Rossell2]

I thought Kubica was cutting it fine with that overtake. Turns out he did tap it after all.

 

[Touring Mars]

Ouch!

I thought Kubica was cutting it fine as he passed those two cars before Mulsanne - and he's completely taken out Vanthoor...

 

[Populuxe]

First full safety car yellow of the race.

 

[Rossell2]

And now there's a McLaren on fire. Or steaming over.

 

[Touring Mars]

I thought Kubica was cutting it fine with that overtake. Turns out he did tap it after all.

Wow, that's almost word for word what I posted at the exact same time.

Kubica could be in big trouble for that.

 

[suomi1]

I should stop focusing on the coming back of certain cars in the rankings, they tend to suffer the wrath of the gods.

Isotta plays well the turtle race.

 

[IforceV8]

 

[NomadicCactus]

And now there's a McLaren on fire. Or steaming over.

The GT pole sitter no less.

Brendan Iribe at the wheel - he is quite erratic so, given the conditions/cold tire dramas, may have pranged a barrier somewhere.

 

[Tired Tyres]

#83 incidents responsible for sure.

 

[IforceV8]

#83 incidents responsible for sure.

Will he get a 5 spot grid penalty at the next WEC race like the Cadillac?

 

[MatskiMonk]

[A_Higher_Place]

Wasn't Kubica overtaking one of the GTLMs? Maybe there won't be a penalty..

 

[suomi1]

Same thing as the #2 Cadillac at Spa.

 

[05XR8]

P1#46 behind the P4#87 about to put it a lap down after the safety car pits. P2#92 and P3#27 at other ends of the circuit. Main battle in GT3 is for 5th-9th. Long way to go.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Race has lost its integrity.
