24 Heures du Mans 12th-13th June 2010

Hey, I'm being hopeful here, it might happen! Possibly...

Hmmm, revision isn't really happening at the moment...

Dario...Dario?...Marino, Dario's brother...

 

[Dijital Majik]

I doubt it. In fact, I think it's a risky strategy because they haven't even double-stinted a set of tyres yet this season. We'll see how the race progresses, but my money is still on the 908s.

RLM are saying Audi are going to quad stint drivers and tyres, could this be Audi's secret weapon?

The commentators on Eurosport mentioned moments before the start that Michelin have stated that the tyres are good to go for quad stints. The only problem in my eyes is all the blowouts that have been happening all morning in the Carrera Cup and Group C races because of gravel.

Just saw the Ford GT, and I can't type my initial thought as it would be against AUP. Hope they can even make it back to the pits.

 

[Tommi]

Wow, so he´s still trying to get back to the pits with that Ford? Long way to run if your car is a real mess.

Very true, but it might be repairable if they are bringing it back, after all there are over 20 hours to repair the car and catch the class again. Fingers Crossed.

Just had a quick shot of it, it looks done.



OMG the first thing they do is put fuel in it

F1 update: L. Hamilton fastest in the last practice 1:16.058, Webber 2nd....1-10 all under 1:17

 

[nostuner03]

I hope GT5 crashes look like that. I think the chassis is done.

Wrong thread

 

[Falcon787B]

Hmmm...these new regulations sound slightly depressing...and confusing.

What's F1?

EDIT: never mind, found a link for speeds online coverage.

You're right, they're going to ruin it

Speedtv.com will be broadcasting the race online until 6PM when it will go back to being broadcast on TV. so for once speed has full 24 hour coverage. 👍

This sounds ridiculous. From what the guy was saying, all we'll have next year will be a bunch of Formula Le Mans cars, some old cars with stupid fins on them, and not much else...isn't cost cutting supposed to get MORE cars on the grid, not less?!

(scratches head) Can someone say 'bring back Group C'?

 

[NapoleonMikey]

Not good for the #3 pug or hes playing a strategy of laying down a smoke screen and blinding the Audis.

 

[MiamiPhill]

First prob for the Lions!!!

 

[arvore]

OMG bad luck for Peugot...

 

[Falcon787B]

Gotta love John Hindhaugh! He's a fantastic commentator

'That's rather stupid...'

 

[Prince.M5]

Dammit my Eurosport just gone!! It just can't get any worse than this

 

[NapoleonMikey]

WOW #3 is out a hole in the tub

 

[MiamiPhill]

Strange body language from the Pug. mechanic.....is the #3 done??

 

[Peter]

Peugeot number 3 is out. Audi moves up.

 

[Dijital Majik]

Looks like they're going to withdraw the Pug!!

Edit: confirmed! Peugeot No.3 is withdrawn!

 

[Wardy 944]

WOW #3 is out a hole in the tub

WOW

[Falcon787B]

What the hell?! The #3 is pulling out already?! What happened to it?

Can't believe that, didn't look like that much of a problem...?

EDIT: Thanks for the link MiamiPhil!

 

[NotThePrez]

Sorry, but what do you guys mean by "tub"?

 

[Prince.M5]

Thanks but my coverage just come back. Thank God!!

And now I see the Peugeot in the pit... Looks like a retirement there.
