Is that smoke coming from the farnbacher car?

 

[DC9990]

458 is smoking. Bad habit

 

[CarBastard]

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.

Benny Boy runing astoundingly fast, clocking at 3'29.xxx. Also, speculation on Eurosport suggesting an interesting strategy by Dr. Ullrich and Leena, the good-looking engineer girl for #2 car, nicknamed "Red Sonja" by the team.

#9 Pug in the pits. Pecom racing LMP2 spun against a wall. Lo lamento Argentina.

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..

same here apart from the sleep. will fight this one through for sure!
once every year i can sacrifice some sleep. there will be enough sleep to do when im dead anyway

yea ads are crazy. michelin ad for 2 milliseconds

 

[DC9990]

39 is out for sure. Not a big crash but driver is out

 

[Tommi]

Think thats the Pecom car off.

 

[Scalage]

Benny Boy's really teaching those Pesky Pugs a lesson
#39 off at the dunlop bridge

Man, that was a huge crash. I saw the footage on it on Autoblog, and man, it was like it was spewing car bits and bobs! He should of gone slower through that corner though, as he was going too fast and clipped that Ferrari. Is that Ferrari still going? It didn't look too bad, just a loose wing.

 

[CarBastard]

Bleekemolen (...Ok, I'll behave now) is at the pits, still behind Tinseau and Team Pescarolo.

#8 Peugeot now 2 laps behind. That'll teach you.

He is still running

 

[SVX]

That's cool, thanks for the info!

I think that Ferrari is still in. Both of the Ferrari's that were involved in the Audi retirements are still running

Beaten to it lol

 

[RACECAR]

The Robertson Racing crew are having some fun

 

[CarBastard]

Team Pescarolo LMP1.5 in the pits. Full service. Tinseau out and Julian Jousse in. Both are very talented.

Looks like the Ferraris have been taking the light side of the crashes.

 

[Scalage]

Hope racing in trouble again

Blipvert?

 

[Submerged]

Eurosport commentator was talking about a random (banged up) Fezza and happened to mention the following:

"I would really love someone to tell me how many times this car has been off the track...."

Thought it was rather apt.

 

[Scalage]

is that a word?

 

[CarBastard]

And we have a Hope-less Hybrid stopped blocking the pitlane. Looks like Hybrid tech at racing will have to wait until Porsche makes it work.

 

[stig's helmet]

Watching this race for the first time ever right now. Never really followed it, don't know why as I love my racing.

 

[DC9990]

Ant Davidson had his helmet on looking like he might be ready to get back in the car soon

Did anyone see how close the #7 got to the back of that Corvette under breaking?!
I didnt think he'd get it slowed down in time!

 

[Scalage]

Hope-less Hybrid

You're really on a roll, arent you?

 

[CarBastard]

Benoit in pits. Fingers crossed. Audi needs perfection and nothing less if it wants to win it.

Audi pitstops are truly impressive. This is an absolute Blitzkrieg strategy!

 

[Scalage]

And another blipvert

 

[DC9990]

Wow I thought he meant 10 as in longer than a couple secs.. Sheesh, I didnt even get chance to take off my headphones off!

 

[hampus_dh]

Blipvert?

haha nice word, it's like a flash that you don't recognise but still has an impact on the brain.

 

[Submerged]

Number 57 Fezza? That was the Fezza that created the last big shunt? Apparently that has retired now?

 

[DC9990]

The last big shunt? Rocky's? That was 71 that was involved in that.
I think that 58 was involved in McNish's though I may be wrong on that I cant remember that long back

 

[Submerged]

Ah, it would have been 58 then. One digit out... ah well.

A Pug is in the pits and now is out. Number 9. Second placed. (Out as in, out on the track)
