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

[CarBastard]

Race control says race restart at Midnight + 15 (00:15), La Sarthe time.

Watched their feed for Spa, man that sucked so hard because there was great racing on track and they'd spend like an hour talking to the bloody janitor.

Just to let you all know if you want the ENTIRE live 24 hour stream go on peugeot sport's website and they will have a link. it mostly focuses on team Peugeot of course but its still great coverage

I just paid £3.99 for a month of Eurosport Player great footage & HD quality. I also get to watch anything I want to for a month. Not a bad deal. Better than watching the crappy quality Justin/Ustream streams.

I just checked the timing screens and thought they were losing 3 mins a lap in the dark, then my brain clicked and remembered the safety car is out

i did this only to watch some hours during thr day. recommended for sure! cheap aswell.

now i watch the tele.

 

[Rossticles]

Thank goodness Audi is continuing the race.

 

[RACECAR]

Audi has confirmed that they are not retiring the 2 car. Now people can stop asking about that.

 

[Scalage]

Just warmed up some pizza, should help me through the safety car period

I dont have any coverage on the TV so I just hooked up my PC to my huge TV.
Also hooked up my headphones to my pc so I get awesome sound as well
I highly recommend the Eurosport player for anyone. £3.99 for good quality & no stopping at all is great. Also the fact you get to use it after the LeMans for other sports stuff its great!

EDIT: I don't know why anyone thought that Audi would withdraw the #2 Its not like either crash was due to a major problem with the car it was just a racing incident so in my mind there was no chance they would withdraw.

 

[MitchZ06]

Pretty stupid to even think they would pull out....

 

[hampus_dh]

anybody else on the same time as Le Mans?

 

[Fido_le_muet]

Wow ! I left the race for 2 hours and I just saw what happened to the #1 Audi !
Thank god the driver is OK
Race should restart in a few minutes apparently.
Also glad to see the Pesca and the Signatech slowly moving up the leaderboard 👍

Why are people thinking they would? Its clearly not an issue with the cars, both were driver errors.

They're at GMT +2, do the maths depending on your region 👍.

 

[hampus_dh]

another good tip if you on your iphone. download the le mans app and you have live timing aswell.

 

[RACECAR]

Supposedly, a problem is developing with the 7 car. Bad luck might be striking the Peugeots next.

No idea, just saw "I hope they don't retire the 2 car" type posts. Pretty silly thought for said reasons you mentioned.

 

[DC9990]

Thought the Safety car was coming in at 12:15 their time, its now 12:20 their time. Wish they could just tell us a later time that they could keep to.
I think I heard a 12:30 restart now. I'm thinking more like 1:00

yes i know... i'm on gmt +2
hence the question mate...

The 1998 and 1999 GT-ONE cars weren't that different from each other. The CLK-GTR went through a much more intensive redesign to become a prototype GT car which was the CLR. The TS020 never went through any such intensive redesign for 1999. The main change was the exploited suit case sized trunk rule that was used in 1998, but disappeared with the new rules for the new GT-LMP class that was introduced in 1999. The 1998 Toyota racer was a far more prototype racer than the CLK-GTR was.

Yup, correct. Memory didn´t serve me right! Actually Toyota didn´t have to adapt to the trunk rule either, since they had convinced the ACO that the fueltank could store a trunk when it was empty (!) There are visual differences though, but not as distinct as the Mercedes case.

Still SC. Suddenly I don´t feel sorry for not having eurosport 2. Must´ve been a really boring 2 hrs!

Audi in the pits!

I have it but don't reccomend it at all. Crashes frequently and the live timing doesn't even show gaps 👎.

This, together with the A.C.O one just to be on the safe side, is your better choice for live timing. It even has tweeter feed:

yor right, just noticed that. not the crashing but actual time differences. only BL and position. thanks!

nice, feels good to be on the same time for some reason.

 

[AudiPro]

Yea just saw the news that Rockenfeller is ok he only has a flesh wound on his arm.

 

[Mt. Lynx]

Officially: Rocky only have minor cuts on one arm, but otherwise OK. Amazing!

I'm on the same time, but I really don't care

As for Diesela, she was far less lucky .

Still, I'm very glad for Rocky and Ben Trelouyer who has kept his lead after pitting!

..
that got damn vette is running like clock works!
the ideal would be top 7 to crash hard and let bmw come out on top!
