Anyone know the gaps between the cars itself?

 

[TK42OnE]

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

I'm rooting for the Corvettes. *knock on wood*

I'm not really interested in the LMP classes, but would like to see Ordonez do well of course.

Here is what I'm using.

Not sure how accurate it is.

"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.

He is a multiple Porsche Supercup champion. Not particularly a bad driver.
And it sounds funny because he's Dutch and you're not

 

[Luminis]

I'm cheering for the #2 R18 and either the #55 or #56 M3.

 

[MitchZ06]

Better T&S

Its about as accurate as you can get as its official.

It updates faster than the thomasbaekdal.com website. But doesn't really have all the twitter updates and possible reasons for cars being in the pits.

Also, my internet isn't that fast for two Live timings along with a stream AND refreshing GTplanet....

Top three seem to be on the same lap!

Ohh, absolutely. Never said he was a bad driver, just that I found his name funny. He would find mine as well .

By the way, I'm seeing the Audi strategy pretty solid and conservative, yet quite effective. After the three leading cars pitted (Spelling?), Benny Boy Treluyer kept his one lap advantage over the Pesky Pugs.

 

[MitchZ06]

No. #2 Audi is a lap ahead of the Pugs.

*Eurosport Advert*

*Eurosport Advert finishes after 1 second advert*

Commentator: "And we're back!" (Almost in a surprised tone of voice)

(With regards to me saying: They're all on the same lap!.... Well, I didn't realised they all pitted at the same time, or more or less they did that)

 

[Scalage]

We'll really have a race in a few hours if the Peugeots can make up some time.

 

[TK42OnE]

The more I listen to the on board Corvette feed (http://stream.speedtv.com/corvette) the more I wish the GT5 Corvette RM sounded like it.

Sounds like a novel: Benny Boy Treluyer and the Pesky Pugs

Me too, lol.

They had a 1/2secs advert randomly earlier too if you remember the commentator was all "Oi get back on the sofa where do you think you're going?!" In a funny way.
I dont know whats happening.

I love that sound of the Corvette.. *drools*

 

[Submerged]

Ah, I didn't catch that at the time....

 

[CarBastard]

That title sounds like the three little piggies...guess who's the wolf .

Audi. Erm, Audi just confirmated Rocky is fine but he'll stay the night at the hospital for observation.

Yeah, man. That thing sounds nice.

Definately Benny Boy

 

[hampus_dh]

sounds like gunfire when going past.
prefer the flatplane v8's of the beemer and ferrari though.

 

[RACECAR]

Is it just me or does the world feed consistantly switch back & Forth between 30 FPS and 60 FPS?

 

[TK42OnE]

Amazing how close the GT Pro cars race.

#1 3:59.988
#2 4:00.020 (+1 lap)
#3 4:00.787 (+1 lap)
#4 4:00.907 (+1 lap)

 

[hampus_dh]

i can't believe we haven't even passed half the race yet!

 

[Scalage]

Indeed.

It's all gone very quiet all of a sudden.

 

[DC9990]

i can't believe we haven't even passed half the race yet!

I was thinking the same not long ago.
Problem is I'm starting to get tired. All because of my lack of sleep last night.
I'm determined to stay up so it better get more entertaining.
Wow, short ads are short..

 

[Scalage]

If I say short break, I REALLY mean SHORT break!

 

[Submerged]

Just nipped to the toilet....but is there four cars on the same lap now?

Live timing now refreshed. They ain't any more.

Damn.

EDIT: ANOTHER CRASH, It was a Lola
