24 Heures du Mans 12th-13th June 2010

Everything, Audi's are on a breeze 1,2,3 win. All Peugeots are out.

Obviously! What happened to Corvette Racing and JLOC?

 

[wajdi1977]

THE Aston is done!!woww

 

[Prince.M5]

One by one gone out, but we're still have 50 mins in the race... If it continues to go on like this then we might have... only 3-5 LMP1 cars cross the line?

Smokey smokey...

 

[RACECAR]

Obviously! What happened to Corvette Racing and JLOC?

Well the 63 car had something worng in the engine while the 64 got punted by a certain peugeot driver not showing any patience. The JLOC Lambo is still circulating I believe.

 

[Falcon787B]

Man this is depressing. What a race to choose as my first one. Depressing all the way. Audis = no problems at all. Peugeots = all blowing up, one idiot driver crashing one of my favourite cars on the track, that cars' teammate blowing up, now the Aston blowing up too.

I'm off to watch the football

 

[Silent Drifter]

All I have to say is go Larbre Competition

JLOC is retired as well.

Well that's that then...

They have officially retired right? According to the timing screen, the car is classified as retirements.

EDIT: Indeed officially retired...

Yes about 5 hours ago

 

[nostuner03]

too many cars knocked out.

 

[NapoleonMikey]

Oh, for the love of...

There goes the #009 Aston Martin.

P.S. Live timing must be messed up; according to it, the #4 is still on track and the #1 hasn't retired, either.

It takes timing and scoring a while to list cars as retired. Mater of fact it has only been updated twice for retirement during the whole race.

and as i posted this they updated it for the thrid and probably final time

 

[RACECAR]

Ouch. So in the last outing of the GT1 class, looks like the Lambos will be remembered as the most unreliable GT1 car in a 24 hour race(at Le Mans that is).

 

[Antti-san]

Man this is depressing. What a race to choose as my first one.

Ditto!

 

[gtone339]

Next year Peugeot better dominate Le Mans..

 

[Prince.M5]

27 retirements is just too much... Well not including the Young Driver AMR and the Highcroft still in the pits with no news.

 

[Seismica]

So the Peugeots proved about as reliable as their road cars...

Anyone got link to a video of the Davidson vs Corvette incident? And his interview too, I want to see that. All I could find was him spinning out at the Esses after contact with what I think was a Ferrari (Though that was at night so I'm sure it wasn't the incident that caused the controversy) and going off at the pitlane entrance. Wow this guy is consistent.

I like how the accident is already on YouTube.

Next year Peugeot better dominate Le Mans..

I want to see more manufacturers race prototypes. I think it would be more exciting to have multiple very competitive manufacturers compete.

Yeah like Toyota, Mazda, Nissan etc.

Thats just over one car per hour, there's not many forms of car racing that can offer a better time to car ratio, plus it's the retirement element that adds alot of excitement at the end.

 

[nostuner03]

they should run daytona proyotypes in the p2 class

 

[Tommi]

Poor Aston. I'm calling sabotage by Audi!.

 

[RACECAR]

Is it just me or are they letting the 7 car unlap itself for the photo finish?

Poor Aston. I'm calling sabotage by Audi!.

Is this the new meme? Blame everything Audi?

 

[Falcon787B]

Poor Aston. I'm calling sabotage by Audi!.

Too late, I tried that already - I think that's what they've been spending all their millions of R&D money on - an anti-jinx device fitted just under the engine bay!

 

[Peter]

Just woke back up, and I see that all Peugeots are out, really bad for them, it would have been all theirs today, just lots of bad luck. But anyways, GGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOO Audi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[wbrinkman]

Radio Le Mans dead silent for me... ?
