24 Heures du Mans 12th-13th June 2010

Porsche 911 is off, just saw it through the onboard on the Audi. Can't tell what's wrong though.

 

[Tommi]

Did I hear him right when he said an Aston Martin was 4th behind the 3 Peugeots?!

No, 5th. No. 007 is 5.4 secs off the fastest time.👍

5th behind the 4 Peugeots 👍

Works great on mute with RLM on in the background.

Radio Le Mans also says the Peugeots were topping at 210 M/H.

I always thought he said 4th behind the 3...my bad

Thanks for the link, I had it up but lost it a moment ago.

 

[Speedster502]

I'm guessing, (have no audio at the moment only live timings and a stream) that the accident that has caused the red flag is between the Peugeot 4 car, and the 88 Porsche seeming everyone else is listed as being in the pits apart from those two cars. But I'm just guessing.

EDIT: And now that's changed so ignore that

 

[Bram Turismo]

Anyone up for a mention both in qualifying and in the race? This race is sponsored by Gran Turismo so we should able to a mention as opposite with the Laguna Seca race sponsored by Forza Motorsport.

I'm watching the live online streams at www.p2p4u.net

Quality isn't too bad there either 👍

 

[Tommi]

I know it's early but the #52 Young Driver AMR DBR9 is running great, not far off some of the LMP1 & 2 cars.👍

Finally some JLOC coverage on Eurosport!

BIG off for a Ferrari!. Red flag again.

 

[Bram Turismo]

At least one of the Audis closing the gap to the French somewhat. Quite disappointed with Vanina's Aston at the moment, but it's great to see the Belgian Ford GT running a solid 4th at the moment in LMGT1 👍

 

[Tommi]

but it's great to see the Belgian Ford GT running a solid 4th at the moment in LMGT1 👍

It is, but i'd love to them to be in first though. I've changed my LMGT1 support to Marc VDS(Aside from Epic JLOC of course). I want a GT to win the class.👍

 

[Speedster502]

Is there another red flag? Something just popped up on my Facebook saying there was, but I can't tell with no video or audio feed at the moment.

EDIT: Just seen Tommi's post.

Great to see someone else supporting the Belgians!

I loved how Bas Leinders was doing until that Maserati DNF'ed him at Brno.

I do hope the #80 Flying Lizard will be closer to the Risi during the race though, I am missing Patrick Long's amazing driving from Laguna Seca already

 

[Tommi]

Me too, but it's easy to forget that this is only the first qualifying session, it's bound to get more 'interesting' as we get closer to the race:tup:

I can't belive what RLM are saying about GT1 & 2.

 

[NotThePrez]

I qualifying ends at midnight, what time is it in Le Mans now?

 

[Tommi]

I qualifying ends at midnight, what time is it in Le Mans now?

Almost 11:30PM.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Oh dear, Flying Lizard came to Le Mans with a new chassis without any mileage on it whatsoever?

Man, Bergmeister will not be a happy man if they don't get their set up in order by Saturday

 

[Wardy 944]

The car looks great, lets hope they've just been setting it up for the last four hours.

Session over, heres the top times from each class:

LMP1 - No.3 Peugeot Sport Total 908 3:19.711

LMP2 - No.42 Strakka Racing HPD 3:36.168

LMGT1 - No. 52 Young Driver AMR DBR9 3:55.025

LMGT2 - No. 82 Risi Competizione Ferrari F430 3:58.233

JLOC last in LMGT1, but not out!.

 

[Wardy 944]

Well done to Peugeot, total domination.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Look at that, the difference between GT1 and GT2 is nearly nothing. I'm not surprised the RLM crew wishes to see these classes as one class...

 

[Tommi]

The GT1 JLOC came last, even the GT2 RSR Jag beat it

Yes, but they didn't crash or break down, so kudos to them.

Talks of rain tomorrow...

Well done to Peugeot, total domination.

Same from me too, they did a fantastic job:tup:, Audi really need to step up their game.

Also well done to Young Driver AMR, I wasn't expecting the car to run this well.👍

 

[Prince.M5]

Owkey so this qualy done, but there's another tomorrow. Great job by the Peugeot. The Audi guys aren't really that happy especially Allan McNish after the short interview... Anyways, first time watching these cars driving at night is awesome, some on the on board travelling through the circuit with absolute darkness. Respect for these drivers!

Fantastic job to others who made it to the end of the session.

The GT1 cars are probably running their FIA GT1 specs. Cars used to be stronger and lighter, not any longer. Plus GT2 has been upgraded a bit because of the lack of GT1.

You got the GT2 time wrong, you awarded them a whole second, it's really 3:59.233 for the Ferrari http://www.lemans.org/en/courses/24h-chrono-en-direct-2010.html
