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

bye bye to Audi's lead?

 

[Submerged]

Why is the Audi's pit so far down? Thought the Number One would have the first pit box instead?

 

[Akira AC]

Peugeot is catching up!

 

[W3H5]

I'm back on board with the #73 car. Still can't find a good streaming site to watch the full coverage.

 

[MitchZ06]

Because the ACO sets the pits out how they want to set the pits out? I think they try put the big teams at opposite ends with smaller teams mixed in in between.

 

[Rossticles]

My eyelids are getting very heavy.

 

[Luminis]

God damnit, it took the official timing thingy about half an hour to properly refresh... Audi isn't even in the lead anymore and I didn't notice it.

I hate that dump thing

Go Audi!

PM'd ya.

Mitch, that sounds reasonable. Just thought they would do it numerical order, rather than the apparent random placing. It just slightly seems that they are favouring the Pugs first.

AND A PUNCTURE FOR A PUG!!!!

 

[CodeRedR51]

rooting for signatech or level 5?

Signatech of course.

 

[MitchZ06]

The pits are the same length no matter where you are in the order so theres nothing really to worry about.

 

[iRev_olution]

guys, if you guys dont know, theres an audi on board cam...

[Submerged]

Yeah...just easier to get into the first pit box rather than having to wiggle the car through the gaps I guess.... But that's splitting hairs.

And the action seems to be settling down...I am assuming the no. 9 Pug hasn't pitted yet?

Go Audi!

I don't get it anymore. One moment the difference between 1 and 2 is 25 sec, the next moment it is a lap!

 

[Prince.M5]

Whow, the #56 BMW is flying and being the only GT car to go down to 3'58s! I'm interested to see if Dirk can catch the #77 Porsche.

The other #55 M3 is still running in 6th place despite replacing something at the front recently.

 

[Submerged]

Its is a lap or two behind, from what I understand. You also have to remember, it has to refresh for many people. Guess the servers are feeling the strain?

And...what lap are we on? Apparently it is 274 now. But Audi must be ahead, as the Pug No. 9 have pitted.....

 

[MitchZ06]

275

 

[Luminis]

Lap 276, Audi in the lead, Peugot with a 56 second gap behind it.

 

[SMOKY427]

go Audi go !

 

[Submerged]

....hm. I think someone in Le Mans need to fire that software designer for the Live Timing. Its so random at updating.

 

[Scalage]

Treluyer is lapping much quicker than the Pugs and is spending less time in the pits despite 2 more pitstops.

+1

A fezza is crawling (after Porche curves?)

 

[Akira AC]

That's it,I cant last anymore,it was getting interesting,is very likely that Audi will win,and Signatech might have a chance if they are lucky.

Good night everyone in the GMT-5 and near time zones(3:23 AM).

 

[C-ZETA]

57 second lead for the Audi. Enough to cover one more stop than the Peugeot but not two...

#66 stopped at the Ford Chicane.

 

[Submerged]

Oh, interesting. Pug has just set a faster time than the Audi. It did 3:29.5. Audi did 3:30.4.

That's a tiny improvement, but then something is better than nothing....

That 458 is crawling SO SLOWLY in the pit lane... might be a hazard to other pitters?

 

[iRev_olution]

who has a stream of the live coverage?

 

[Mic_Col]

^^^ Cheers for the live stream links.

Here in Australia the free to air channel has been showing it live most of the day. But have packed it in for the day and are going to show the MotoGP live. All categories, there's lots of local interest in Stoner so I can see their reason.

But then what they're going to do is show the final few hours on delay, some 2 hours late. I ain't going to wait that long.

So the live stream is good.

 

[W3H5]

@Submerged - Link wouldn't connect but I still got the #73 car on screen on SPEED Streaming. It has just flown passed a very distressed looking Ferrari!

 

[Mic_Col]

who has a stream of the live coverage?

justin.tv

go to sport / motorsport

then stream 2.

I was told all of that and it's working good.

Morning guys.
Just woke up and it's good to see the Signatech Nissan at the 10th place (2nd in LMP2).
Great result so far for our friend Lucas ! 👍
I see the safety car has been busy during the night but nothing of great importance for the Audi/Peugeot duel. (I went to bed 1 hour after the Audi #1 huge crash).
Too bad the #74 Corvette had to retire
