A shame, the #009 Aston officially retired. Not knowing the problem yet...

EDIT: Engine problem...

The #009 Aston has officially been retired from the race...

AMR's entry is a joke. 5 laps into the race and both cars into the garage with engine problems.

 

[Mt. Lynx]

Anyone remember the plethora of tire punctures last year?

yeah. Wasn´t it due to the gravel?

 

[Outsyder84]

I found it funny how in the pits the crew men were wiping the windshields of the LMP1`s and when the LMP2`s showed up they wiped...well...the head lights,in absence of a windshield.

Audi in first, second and third place, properly lined up according to the numbers on the cars.

Also, BMW chasing the 458, go BMW, go!

They had a very tight schedule and they did not run the car at Sebring 12H for example or SPA if i remember correctly.

You can´t expect them to dominate something when the car is totally new.
It needs time to find the speed, get to know the car etc even though diesel LMP´s still are the quickest of the bunch.

The Audi car looks faster that the Peugeot but there still a long way to go until the end. The Aston Martin is not doing well for now. That Nissan is great but i think the Anime face is a bit unnecessary but is still want it to win the LMP2. (a bit off topic)
The Audi 3 just crashed with a Ferrari 458 in the Dunlop chicane. We got Safety car

There's a difference between 'finding the speed' and making it past the first hour of the race, I think

 

[hampus_dh]

LMP2?
it´s an LMP1 car so it will be hard for it to win the LMP2 class.

Fuel tanks,
LMP1 Diesel 65L
LMP1 Gasoline 75L
LMP2 75L
GT 95L

 

[Grayfox]

yeah that site has the same video stream and both work in australia.

Sure but you have to consider the car is new, they shouldn´t even have participated this year because it´s a stupid thing to do.

They need more time.
