24 Heures du Mans 12th-13th June 2010

[CodeRedR51]

They just fired the Vette up. Should be out there again very soon.

Edit: tree'd.

 

[SuperShouden]

Now to go back out and pray nothing else is broken

 

[Prince.M5]

Rear bodywork has been fully installed.. Ready to go out!

Now to go back out and pray nothing else is broken

and it doesn't get taken out again by a reckless Peugeot.

#52 Young driver AMR Aston up 2 second in class. The Saleen is running well:tup:

Kudos to the Corvette team for that super quick repair job.👍

 

[Silent Drifter]

Here it comes

 

[Crash]

Corvette's out of the garage!

 

[Wardy 944]

Outstaning work by the Corvette team

 

[NapoleonMikey]

Finally that was a very quick repair for the amount of damage.

7 laps down from the lead GT2 car and 5th in class. still 6 hours to go anything can happen.

 

[SuperShouden]

good job by Corvette to keep the Cars out to about 19 total with only 8 of those being GT2 cars.

 

[Paulie]

Outstaning work by the Corvette team

Plus one big 🤬 ONE! That's amazing, simply amazing.

 

[Wardy 944]

Those eurosport commentators didn't know that they were on air

 

[SuperShouden]

75 Porsche is in the dirt. Second spin for it.

 

[Silent Drifter]

Those eurosport commentators didn't know that they were on air

What did they say?

 

[Wardy 944]

What did they say?

Nothing, just dancing around like loons, until they got the 3, 2, 1 then they got all serious

 

[NapoleonMikey]

Well said by Godug.

TAKE NO PRISONERS!!!

 

[Tommi]

Those eurosport commentators didn't know that they were on air

Do you mean the guys on 24 minutes?, they've done that pretty much every programme. Normal coverage is on Eurosport 2 by the way.

 

[Prince.M5]

The Vette is back in the pit again I see...

EDIT: Confused LOL..

 

[Silent Drifter]

Looks like the #64 Corvette is ready to go back out again.

 

[JohnBM01]

Even if the #64 Corvette fails to finish, that car and Corvette Racing is still one of my winners for this race. Awesome job by this team, Corvette never backing down. The cars may be yellow, but NOT the team. Awesome!

Completely agree with you there John, that last line really does sum the team up.👍

 

[Clark]

Hero's of the race are easily AMR, a proper V12 Prototype and never backing down despite really having no chance. Bring on next year for them, albeit with a V8.

EDIT: To paraphrase a tyre company, I like to say this about Corvette: America is nothing without Europe. (Their drivers)

 

[Paulie]

LOL, the commentators are laying into that Poogeot as they call it, saying how the driver was staying on for another stint to see who else he could spin off the track. (Getting Speed TV coverage in Australia).

 

[NapoleonMikey]

The corvette boys did an awesome job. Its already back on race pace . Just ran a 4:02.

I would count JLOC in the group of teams that have impressed me this weekend. I went into this weekend wondering how they even get an invite but those boys just didnt give up all race. And didnt retire in the first hour like I thought they would.

 

[Clark]

I think JLOC helped kill GT1 at Le Mans. The problem is too many of the GT1 cars were gentleman run/drive ones that weren't professional enough do a 24 hours race. Most GT1 cars retire or the driver's aren't good enough to beat the GT2 cars.

Thank god for Matech and AMR, though.

 

[lildomplaya]

Very late seeing the race, is the SPEED channel live? Its about 5:28 & a half left on the timer.

 

[Silent Drifter]

GT1 Saleen is in the gravel traps.

 

[CodeRedR51]

GT1 leader just spun.

Edit: Damnit, no more updates from me.

 

[lildomplaya]

GT1 Saleen is in the gravel traps.

💡 I'mma take that as a yes.

 

[Crash]

Very late seeing the race, is the SPEED channel live? Its about 5:28 & a half left on the timer.

Yeah, Speed Channel's feed is live.

 

[Wardy 944]

Nope, Labre Competition Saleen in GT1 now.

🤬👎 I just heard confirmation about JLOC.

I guess the Saleen going off was only a matter of time
