I honestly don't want to bother with sleep! This is a good race. The car I want to win is the leader of the Peugeots, now just to catch Treluyer. Come on Pagenaud!

I'm thinking exactly the same.

Who's begun with his stash of Red Bull already? .

coffee for me had one a few hours ago and feel fresh so far.
will probably have to reload in an hour so.

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Corvette #73 slowly working its way into 2nd, sitting 3rd atm. Corvette 1st and 3rd in GTE-Pro, BMW 6th and 10th. Not going good for the Bavarians...

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about Luxury Ferrari moving up to third...

Both ferraris seem to be a few seconds faster than the vette on at least the last reported lap times

 

[hampus_dh]

anybody know the distance and ammounts of pits between bmw 6th and the car ahead?

A Mr. T. "I can tow the snatch tractor" Vilander is sitting in second atm but I dont think it will last against the Corvettes. Form is temporary, class is everlasting.

 

[robert1]

how many other people here planning on staying up for the full 24 hours and then the F1 after at 5pm tonight haha

 

[Submerged]

Wow....the Oreca Pug is now whole again..... Impressive how quick they can work!

 

[CarBastard]

And Strakka joins the ranks of retirement. Le Mans is beggining to claim it's victims.

 

[thesrdic]

Im used to all nighters so no need for red bulls Been on the beers for a few hours now

Good thing Ferrari has both those things

 

[Mt. Lynx]

Ooops, I blinked - missed the blipvert!

 

[MitchZ06]

Temporary form?

 

[Scalage]

#2 audi just overtook a slower car at the exact point in the exact way that crashed the #1.
They never learn, do they?

 

[Tower Turn 13]

haha no, form and class. nevermind lol.

 

[Submerged]

I am starting to think my live timing is wishing the Pug no. 9 + 7 are on the same laps at the leader as it keeps saying that they are, almost every ten minutes. Even when its impossible for that to occur....

Anyone notice that?

 

[MitchZ06]

Very very dodgy....

I really, really, really. REALLY. REALLY HOPE THEY DID!

Not sure if is the Red Bull, but everytime I see Benny Boy's in-car camera my heart jumps to my throat and begins to beat faster.

 

[MitchZ06]

haha, no form and class. nevermind about Ferrari lol.

Fixed!

 

[thesrdic]

Exactly 👍
Might watch FP3 and quali first though cos I havn't seen them yet

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Fixed!

Knew you were going to do that. Good timing considering 59 just moved into 3rd.

 

[MitchZ06]

Because of pits, #73 will be back into 3rd once the other 2 pit.

 

[Scalage]

Hope is back into the garage. again.

They aren't? the official live timing says they're a few minutes behind on the lead lap.

 

[Scalage]

Not sure if is the Red Bull, but everytime I see Benny Boy's in-car camera my heart jumps to my throat and begins to beat faster.

I'm pretty sure it's love

 

[Submerged]

.... I may need to change to live timing then....

(Been having some trouble with slowdown of web browsers. Turns out that Opera didn't like it. Firefox works much better. Forgot to change to the official live timings.... well, I did, but it never seemed to refresh. Might work now.)

 

[MatskiMonk]

Well, nearly half way, and I'm not flagging too much yet!.. just wish BMW Motorsport was putting on a more convincing show!

 

[CarBastard]

They aren't? the official live timing says they're a few minutes behind on the lead lap.

For the last couple of hours they're going back and forth from being between two minutes and a complete lap. Nothing's sure for me, since I can't fathom any text shown by my Eurosport SD stream and I haven't managed to get the laptop working on my TV. I tried Fn+F5 as suggested by Famine, to no avail. I tried Fn+F4 which has a screen and laptop doodle, and still "No-Signal". Dang, will have to wait til sis comes home and tells me the way to use her german laptop .

Benny in the pits. Go Benny!

Unbelievable pit stops by Audi. They're definitely going all or nothing, and I applaude that!

 

[J-PaP]

Took a 3 hour break and the tv broadcast just finished so I need to switch to pc. What stream seems to be working well?

 

[Tower Turn 13]

AF Corse and Prospeed Porsche back on the lead lap GT?
