You can if you want, now some things have settled down for the night i'm sure they can squeeze us in.👍

They're just about to start a new thread 11pm -

 

[Cale]

Go Corvette!

 

[hornet_burnout]

#24 won't be returning... I think. Big damage

 

[Wardy 944]

That car is done

 

[Tommi]

#60 Ford GT GT1 Leading Car in the pits, rear damage. 2nd place GT1 Corvette in pits also.

I'm actually glad checking out the speedtv.com live stream of this race. The coverage looks great. I need to see some sort of video updates of what happened between 12:30 PM EDT and 6:00 PM EDT. Thanks to all of you on GTPlanet for those updates you've posted.

LOVE Le Mans! This is my motorsports holiday. I read a lot here about the Risi vs. Corvette battle. Only thing more interesting would be if Risi and Corvette have as epic of a final lap battle as that Risi vs. Flying Lizard finish at Sebring a few years ago!

Uh, oh... trouble with that black and pink Mazda-powered LMP2 car.

Last Ford GT in garage as well.

#24 looked to be dropping freshly broken stuff, so it must have been close to the end of the lap.

Saleen ftw

 

[Wardy 944]

You wait an hour and then everything happens at once

 

[NotThePrez]

Obviously I missed something, since they've sent the R8 back out.

When SPEED go over to the TV, will the internet stream keep going?

Bad luck to the Matech guys!

 

[NapoleonMikey]

I step away for a minute and now there's talk about debris on the track and a safety car. What did i just miss?

 

[hornet_burnout]

You wait an hour and then everything happens at once

and this time I was here

Safety cars looking for a lost front left somewhere. That would be a very dangerous piece of debris

this!

 

[NotThePrez]

Also, why the hell are RLM talking about Malaria?

 

[Bram Turismo]

#82 Risi going back in, I think they might pull out of the race unfortunately

 

[torontoml]

I don't think so it didn't start until their TV coverage ended, so it'll probably shutoff when the TV coverage comes back until the end.

 

[Tommi]

Saleen ftw

👍 Thats if Matech or JLOC can't do it first of course.

YAY! More safety cars

 

[mafia_boy]

I woke up, thinking alright time to turn on the LeMans I was watching on Eurosport from last night but for some 🤬 reason they have the Diamond League from NY on right now and have to wait for another 15 minutes for the broadcast to restart.

Also, JohnBM01, I saw your comment about GT2 needing production based engines.....they were saying that for LMP2, that they need to use production engines.

Also, is it just me or is that engine noise from the 908 just the worst sound ever from a racing car?? Sounds like an industrial factory in there compared to the Aston Martin's!!

 

[Wardy 944]

Also, why the hell are RLM talking about Malaria?

Highcroft racing are trying to eliminate melaria in Africa

 

[Hun200kmh]

As sooner or later everyone expected to happen, GT2 cars are now the front runners of the GT class

 

[hornet_burnout]

I step away for a minute and now there's talk about debris on the track and a safety car. What did i just miss?

Several cars on the garage, and #24 hit something hard, missing front left wheel, suspension etc. That brought out the safety car.

 

[torontoml]

this!

The purple colored prototype (can't remember the team EDIT: #24 apparently) hit the rear end of one of the Ford GT's, big mess.

 

[NotThePrez]

Highcroft racing are trying to eliminate melaria in Africa

Oh yeah, I forgot.

Speed coverage now back on TV.

Edit: #13 car goes crazy fast off the course and spins into wall.

 

[Appie]

Someone knows why there is a Safety Car?

 

[Falcon787B]

Hmm, any ideas for new stream now that Speed has gone? Right now its the Audi onboard and RLM...

 

[wbrinkman]

Boullion off, noooo

 

[NapoleonMikey]

Wow the #13 took a very hard shunt and under safety car too.

 

[Wardy 944]

Another cold tyres incident, we've had a crash after every safety car period.

Diesels were sounding awesome last year, but I think new rules quieted the exhaust and the rest is just... bad.

The purple colored prototype (can't remember the team EDIT: #24 apparently) hit the rear end of one of the Ford GT's, big mess.

I though it could be that, didn't see it happening.

#13 is gone off as well.
