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

[Cucobr]

Green flag!!!

 

[MitchZ06]

The eurosport commentators are having an argument wether Ullrich should withdraw the #2 x(

What the hell are their reasons? *****....

 

[Tommi]

OH MY GOD RESTART!!!! and im wondering who the heck is driving the GT40?

That's not a GT40. It's the #68 GTE-Am Robertson Racing Doran Ford GT driven by Andrea Robertson.

 

[MitchZ06]

A.Robertson is driving it currently according to T&S.

 

[Scalage]

What the hell are their reasons? *****....

The very same as being put in out here...
Now they are discussing that it was Rocky's fault. Of which they are probably right.

 

[CarBastard]

After all that bloody waiting a friend of mine calls me in the precise moment they go green !!! Grrrrr!!! How's Benny Boy Trelouyer doing?

 

[MitchZ06]

They are right, it was Rockys fault. Listening to them now, seems one of them is a complete and utter fool.

 

[RACECAR]

Still leading.

 

[CAMikaze]

It's going to be a long night.

Martin Haven is absolutely right.

 

[Tommi]

For those supporting Lucas Ordonez he's back out on track now. 16th Overall and 7th in Class.

 

[CAMikaze]

Go Lucas!

 

[CarBastard]

Lucas back on track, #7 in his category.

And Oreca Matmut #48, LMP2 Leader, goes into the garages.

 

[thesrdic]

Is it me or is one of the eurosport commentators Michael gambon?

 

[hampus_dh]

BBS FI rims are so beautiful!

 

[CarBastard]

Change of brakes for the Hankook 458 Italia. Sad, it was my favourite 458 of the race, the one that wasn't a nuissance for Audi .

 

[MitchZ06]

Cuz its not red?

 

[Scalage]

Is it me or is one of the eurosport commentators Michael gambon?

Lol, but no

 

[CarBastard]

Cuz its not red?

Exactly . Felbermayr car with troubles apparently. Crap, and Nicola prost took LMP1.5 lead from Tinseau.

 

[CAMikaze]

Maybe it's because of the tires it has?

 

[Scalage]

Exactly . Felbermayr car with troubles apparently.

They were changing the brake pads. The engineer probably had to look it up in the instruction manual

 

[GTPorsche]

World feed must have been showing some of the pit work from the extra long SC period.

 

[CarBastard]

"Bleekemolen"...with all due respect, the name sounds too whack-a-mole-ish and funny to me . He went in the leading Rebellion Toyota and out went Prost in what was a lengthy pit stop.

 

[SuperShouden]

fun facts:

In 2010, 56 cars were registered, 55 started but only 27 finished.

Of those 27, 5 were LMP1s and 3 were GT1s.

What did we learn from last year? 24 Hours can be brutal on a car and anything can happen.

 

[TK42OnE]

Eurosport showing the FORD GT in the pits. Man it looks good.

 

[DC9990]

So who is everyone cheering for?
I'm hoping the #7 Pug wins as its Ant Davidson & one of my favourite numbers
Also hoping Henri Pescy's car does well because its Pescy

 

[MitchZ06]

Corvette #74

Yeah, hoping for a Peugeot 1-2-3 podium win.

 

[CarBastard]

Showing the FORD GT in the pits. Man it looks good.

And it's "Oh-so-romantically" driven by a married couple. Seriously, I really appreciate the romance factor, best wishes for them and that awesome machine 👍.

Peugeot Sport's tweeter says the have planned pitstops for #7 and #9. And Treluyer just hit the pits as well, fuel only I think.

Not just on car but on driver and team too! Driver errors and mistakes with strategy and repairs are part of it too!
