Yep the Timing is working for me now. Been to the BMW Motorsport Facebook saying that car #79 which is the Art Car actually ran out of fuel on the way to the Indianapolis Curve. Strange... Seems like it's not the gearbox which I though it was.

And halfway still, gosh what a long day...

EDIT: FIAT is Italian...

 

[Appie]

Lancia and FIAT are Italian .

 

[Mt. Lynx]

Both Lancia and FIAT are Italian as far as I know. Lancia is even owned by FIAT IIRC.

QUIT USING the stupid IIRC thing. Not everyone speaks teen girl text, alright. You're racing fans. you can type out words.

IIRC you are correct

Amen

 

[Mt. Lynx]

AFAIK teen girls use more smileys than IIRC´s...

 

[Wardy 944]

Lol its the first thing I thought might be the reason.

Not in a racist/hatred way, just in a neighbouring country competition kind of way 👍

Actually "IIRC" and other such short hand typing where not created by teen girls but mostly males programmers in the early days of the Internet.

But in all seriousness the AUP does say not to use it guys so try and type things out fully.

 

[Mt. Lynx]

We are allowed to use well established ones like IIRC, AFAIK, FYI, LMAO etc though.

 

[torontoml]

Yes stop using them, cause I can never remember what they mean and have to look it up every time.

 

[Prince.M5]

Owkey enough guys.. Back into the topic 👍

 

[MiamiPhill]

Just saw a marshall waving a flag in the dark of the mulsanne why not coloured lights.?

I did not know that. All I ever see is Mods always yelling at people for short hand. If thats the case then I have no complaints.

 

[Mt. Lynx]

Did the JLOC give up, or are they still trying?

 

[SuperShouden]

It must be the writer in me that's irritated by it, then. But it DOES seem a little lazy.

And I KNOW that the over abbreviation of the world started in places like the military, but, there's no need to be like the military unless you're actually in it. and yeah teen girls wouldn't use IIRC 'cause they'd either not comment or just call you a loser.

Because colored lights would kill the drivers vision at night. They keep lights to an absolute minimum because of that reason.

Yes, but only to a small extent. It's better to use proper English though as many people don't understand them.

Back on topic:

#14 Kolles R10 is off after the Porsche Curves

Did the JLOC give up, or are they still trying?

No, it's currently in the pits having a new gearbox fitted.👍

 

[Wardy 944]

No Short hand, it the Japanise Lamborghini Owner's Club from now on

 

[MiamiPhill]

Is someone off?

 

[Mt. Lynx]

I did not know that. All I ever see is Mods always yelling at people for short hand. If thats the case then I have no complaints.

The way I understand it, shorthand means things like "plz", "r", "u" and such. I remember there was some discussions about this elsewhere on these forums about this some time ago.

 

[SuperShouden]

yeah, one of the LMP cars is off

 

[Prince.M5]

The Hankook Ferrari is in trouble. Looks like a brake change maybe?

 

[Tommi]

Yes, the #14 Kolles Audi R10, not sure about damage.

 

[MiamiPhill]

Because colored lights would kill the drivers vision at night. They keep lights to an absolute minimum because of that reason.

Nothing super bright that would affect the drivers...because the flags seem worthless.

 

[Wardy 944]

#12 pulled off

#24 going slow

 

[Mt. Lynx]

Don´t they have flashing yellow lights and some speaker system placed all around the track? They at least had the flashing lights last year.

 

[SuperShouden]

NOTE: It would appear Sony's sponsoring this event, as well. Seen the PS logo a lot.

if it's anything like the Grand Am races, there should be a yellow light on the dash that flashes when they're under caution.

 

[Mt. Lynx]

Look at the Peugeots rear wings; says Gran Turismo 5!
