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

Yes its GTE Pro, Corvette had a 1-2 at one point with the #74 and #73 cars for a short period. The BMW challenge hasn't really shown itself (they're 2 laps off the GTE leader #74).

The three Pesky Pugs pitting. Pedro Lamy getting ready to get in the car, and Lotterer to reclaim the lead.

As far as I know, they only refueled. Their tyres will begin to suffer...

 

[NSX>GOD]

pugs pitting now.

 

[W3H5]

Audi has the lead!

[Northstar]

#73 went into the tyre wall with me on board!

You're hair distracted him.

 

[MitchZ06]

Its not a crash...just bumped the tire wall, should be all fine and should be holding onto 3rd.

 

[TK42OnE]

#73 back at it but that was alot of time gone.

 

[NSX>GOD]

#73 went into the tyre wall with me on board!

haha same thing happened to me with the second audi huge crash. Was crazy.

God Michael Waltrip is an idiot. SpeedTV has interviewed him 10 times.

 

[CarBastard]

[NSX>GOD]

It's distracting me now. I'm pulling it out like a mad man hoping #73 can get back on the pace!

^ I've only got an on board stream of the #73 'Vette which doesn't seem to be performing too well.

I assume that stream got a bit more exciting there for a bit?

Interesting (and kinda cool) to see them all pitting at the same time.

I rather like them interviewing him. Gives me something to laugh at

I thought it was interesting that he was in his NASCAR team racing suit, that has to be a LeMans first.

I thought the same . Looked very retro and cool, and showed just how diverse are the men driving at Le Mans.

+1 👍

Corvettes leading GTE-Pro and GTE-Am again!

What in the world is your problem with him? Its like you can't stand him. Also, 10 times seems abit exaduarating given I've only seen him interviewed four times.

Corvettes leading GTE-Pro and GTE-Am again!

Its the Flying Lizard 81 Porsche thats leading GTE-AM, not the Corvette.

 

[Rossticles]

Le Mans has the best drivers in the world. SpeedTV can interview someone else instead of Waltrip 4 times. What's wrong with not liking that or not liking him? I like and respect NASCAR drivers but he's too out of place here.

I rather like them interviewing him. Gives me something to laugh at

Definitely. Him saying that a Daytona 500 win, which he has 2 of, is a bigger accomplishment than winning the Le Mans 24hr got me heated.

 

[TK42OnE]

Its the Flying Lizard 81 Porsche thats leading GTE-AM, not the Corvette.

Not anymore.

Have another look at T&S...

 

[CAM]

I think he's one of the best at articulating in the NASCAR community. Compared to Dale Earnhardt Jr. and some others, he is quite well spoken. Quite humorous too

And @rossticles, don't be offended by the Daytona 500 reference. Living in the southeastern US, not much is bigger than that week in February.. although I personally don't care for it. He has a lot of emotional attachment to that race, much like most Europeans have to Le Mans.
