24 Heures du Mans 2011 - 79th Grand Prix d'Endurance - June 11-12

[SuperShouden]

For new comers, I believe Lucas' Team had tire issues early on and lost a lot of time.

 

[CarBastard]

Making GT5 racers proud Lucas!

The official live timing is difficult. I now have no idea what's the time interval between cars in each class...

The #55 is lapping really fast and catching the #89 Ferrari... The #56 BMW and #51 Ferrari are cathing the leader.

 

[Prince.M5]

EDIT: Sorry about this, my internet is pissing me off!

# 15 rejoins after long stop for steering repairs.

Ford GT # 68 is suffering with a gear selector problem.

 

[Furinkazen]

Aston just spun in GTE

 

[Ardius]

In previous years, the ACO live timing had the gaps on each lap (e.g. a car behind another car both being 2 laps down). I don't know why they haven't this year, I agree its difficult to really follow the race with only lap differences.

 

[SuperShouden]

The Evora's are still alive...they're the Spyker this year. Can't wait to see Spyker return next year with their new car

# 007 Aston Martin is officially retired, a sad end. #007 now officially retired.

 

[CarBastard]

LOL @ Aston Martin's latest tweet!!! http://twitter.com/#!/AMR_Official

The crew from 007 and 009 have now joined "Customer Teams", I presume privateer GT Astons.

Talk about Cotomer Sevis! (Jalopnik.com meme)

 

[RACECAR]

How ironic: Audi's tubs are built by Dallara in Italy and Peugeot's Tubs come from Germany...just when I thought my mind couldn't be more blown.

 

[C-ZETA]

The # 007 Aston Martin completed 4 laps, the # 009 Aston Martin only 2 laps following problems. All AMR technicians and mechanis have joined the customer teams to help out. # 60 Aston Martin spins at Dunlop and continues.

There's always been a ton of outsourcing in motorsports. Nothing new really.

# 9 Peugeot pits for fuel only. The leader, # 7 Peugeout is in the pit lane, no tyres or driver change, fuel only. #7 in, #2 will retake lead.

Kronos Racing in LMP1 too.

Well I know that (Porsche and Fabcar come to mind), its where the tubs come from that makes it ironic.

Sadly, at least to me, #2 hasn't taken the lead. I'm fearing the strategy of Audi is a bit troubled, the car is consuming too much fuel. I hope I'm wrong and I'm able to open a couple of beers to celebrate Audi's win tomorrow...

 

[SuperShouden]

only 3 cars on the lead lap in LMP2

 

[C-ZETA]

# 1 Sudi is right on the tail of the # 7 Peugeout for 2nd place. # 20 Zytec is officially retired.

 

[CarBastard]

Radio Le Mans's background song sounds familiar..."She sells sanctuary" from GT4 anyone?

 

[Fido_le_muet]

It's not the year for Aston martin...
Kronos Lola is last in LMP1 and the GTPro Vantage is not doing so well for now.
But stil 19 hours + to go

 

[Furinkazen]

Kronos are still going...

 

[Tommi]

# 1 Sudi is right on the tail of the # 7 Peugeout for 2nd place. # 20 Zytec is officially retired.

Stop copying twitter posts, they can't spell.

 

[C-ZETA]

Stop copying twitter posts.

If you insist.

 

[Furinkazen]

"GT1 doo-lally.. no it was always doo-lally" Hhahaha Eurosport and Hugh Chamberlain brilliance.

 

[C-ZETA]

#1 Audi's pitted from 3rd and hasn't gotten past the #7 908...looks bad for them.

...But it was only for fuel. So at least they'll be able to stay closer.

 

[CarBastard]

Jousse passed Jani, go Pescarolo for the LMP1.5 win!!!!!!

 

[Prince.M5]

In the GTE Pro class, the #51 Ferrari AF Corse is definitely the fastest GT car on track currently, now got the lead and leaving the #74 Corvette with a gap now at around 18 seconds. The #56 BMW is losing too much time in every lap for some reason. After the safety car green flag, they and the #51 Ferrari was close but now have almost a minute gap between them...

 

[SuperShouden]

Just watched the Big Audi crash....yikes...

 

[C-ZETA]

Pescarolo back out in front in the petrol class.
