Nope, it's still running, I think the timing system is messed up, last time I checked it said the Marc VDS GT was still racing.

It's also saying that the lead Audi of Romain Dumas is a full lap down to the leader, when Speed said it was only 2'17s down.

Interesting interview with Anthony Davidson, he was on the offensive...still got 19 hours left Anthony...

RLM have just said "it has been in the garage for 2hours, came out and did 1lap before going back in" they're looking around the rear, maybe another driveshaft?

Well. Erm. It's sort of running then, I swear I saw it on the track earlier so it must have been that one lap. I wouldn't be surprised if it is a driveshaft issue.

So did If I'm honest, it was during an on-board with the Audi 👍

Where's that? I only saw the Ford GT

 

[Falcon787B]

Always hate to see fire in motor racing. It's an inevitability, but at least safety is much better nowadays - with any luck, incidents like Nicki Lauda or even worse should be a thing of memory now, touch wood. Sad for the all-female team, I was actually rooting for them quite a bit, would've been cool. Heroic for Natasha to be racing after that mad accident at Abu Dhabi.

 

[Ian Poole]

Shame for the all-female team that they had the engine expire on them. ECU unit we think?

 

[Tommi]

Heroic for Natasha to be racing after that mad accident at Abu Dhabi.

It was her in the car at the time of the fire too, thankfully despite her injury she still managed to get out and away quickly.👍

Right before the second Chicane on the Mulsanne Straight.

 

[Wardy 944]

There's a great display of Ferrari handling vs Corvette Power

 

[Wardy 944]

Art car stopped again


Oops double post sorry

 

[NotThePrez]

The Art car is limping right after the kink.

Edit: Forget limping, it's stopped!

 

[MiamiPhill]

Art Car slow again.

 

[Prince.M5]

Owh no.. Not again

 

[MiamiPhill]

Right before the second Chicane on the Mulsanne Straight.

He's just ribbing me because I called it a GT40 and not Ford GT.

 

[Christian_C]

Is this the end for the Art Car? Its had a miserable race so far

Yeah, I don't like it when people take my politically incorrect car names.

Is this the end for the Art Car? Its had a miserable race so far

Hope not, lotta work has gone into it.

 

[Prince.M5]

The end.. the car is being pushed

 

[Tommi]

Yes it's an official retirement now according to Eurosport.

 

[Ian Poole]

Damn, bad luck Andy Prilaux

 

[Hun200kmh]

The battle for LMP2 isn't over. Marco Werner has been taking more than 10 seconds per lap from the Strakka car. Lat lap he gained 15 seconds !!!!! Now 43 seconds behind when a few laps ago was over 1.30 min !

Go Highcroft !!! 👍



(very sad about Lamy, but I don't want to talk about it ... )

EDIT: According to the live timing he already shows up ahead. Can't understand how ....

 

[Wardy 944]

That's a shame I wanted to see it at night
