Those photographers are all cats. And they all just lost one of their lives on this one :scared:

Good to see McNish getting away unharmed from that reckless move (2 cars back into the side of a much slower Ferrari?).

Worst news for me (my favorites) was that flat on Lucas' car... It was going so well :(

Well there's always the shot they caught which can use to get it back :lol:

And yes, such a shame about Signatech Nissan. If only tyres were invincible...wait, what?
 
Agreed, so glad to see McNish walk away from that along with the photographers and marshalls, that flying wheel was particularly scary, especially when it started to chase that photographer after it landed. Looks like a bad couple of weeks for Stefan Mucke.....
 
Kind of new to watching these races, but: why is the yellow flag taking so long? Wasn't the crash well-cleaned for racing a while ago?
 
BMW 11th and 13th ! WTF?

And one Vette seems to be one lap ahead of everyone despite them all having done one pitstop :S

They lost a whole lot of time when all of a sudden everybody came in for a stop... The Corvettes gained a lot!

A bit dissapointed though, but hoefully they'll fight back to the top.

EDIT: They're not the only one though, #51 Ferrari lost exactly the number of positions as the BMWs...

EDIT: The #58 Luxury Racing Ferrari yet to come out of their pit? They're already down by 8 laps as the timing screen says...

To bad :( The only guys i´m rooting for, M Power.
 
Wow, according to the Le Mans website, Audi didn't even retire the #3 R18, yet. Are they actually trying to fix it or didn't they bother to do so?

Maybe they are waiting for the car to be back to the pit and see the damage for themselves. But I really think it's over for #3 :/

Plus, McNish is heading to the hospital for a CT scan...

The car isn't even in the paddock yet. But it's not currently listed as a retirement so depending on McNish's condition and the extent of the damage it could well go back out.
 
The Lemans.org live timing/scoring is crap. It keeps saying "Race beginning at 3 pm. WTF?
 
I'm rooting for them too, since their debut last year. This is a 24 hours long with just under 22 and a half hours left, still a whole lot of actions will happen ;)

Ok nice :) true!
I´ve been following the M3 GT2 since last season in ALMS aswell.
This year i´m sure they will clinch the title.
1-2 at the green hell aswell and Sebring 12h

Also, one Aston car isn´t out of the game yet, they will fix it and head back out to get some mileage done.
 
Saw the crash, crazy stuff. While I'm thinking Mcnish was too optimistic, I have to wonder if he even saw the Ferrari before he got around Bernard. I mean, he basically was two car lengths behind when he suddenly flew through.
