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

[Obli]

Does anyone know where I can find out the driver order for Signatech? I'd like to know if / when Lucas is back in the car.

 

[Submerged]

Oh. I wasn't aware of that. I would have assumed that they would have some downtime and "doing nothing" time to physically rest, even though mentally, they're buzzing so fast that they feel like they've drank 30 cans of Red Bull....


Ooooh, GTEPro cat. might be interesting to watch now! Fezza is slowing down a bit in comparison to the Chevvy No. 73 who's actually catching him up. Maybe three seconds a lap.

 

[CarBastard]

So Montagny...2 laps down and still trying to annoy the leader?

 

[Scalage]

Yep, but he has just passed him

 

[Submerged]

Well, that Pug didn't last very long in front of the Audi....

 

[CarBastard]

#2 pit men getting ready. Car is barely starting it's lap, I presume it'll pit by the end of it, in some three minutes.

 

[meeekael]

Great driving from Lotterer. Perfect level of aggression and timing.

 

[Tommi]

Yes! #73 Corvette up to 1st in GTE-Pro!

 

[Speedster502]

Sure I just saw the Signatech Nissan running very slowly.

 

[m00ndancer]

Sigmatech in trouble

 

[W3H5]

I guessing #73 can't be too far behind the class leader. Must be down to around a minute or so now, anybody have live timing stats on the GTE pro class?

 

[meeekael]

Was that the Signatech we just saw gon blown up?

 

[Fido_le_muet]

Damn ! No luck til the end :grrr:

 

[W3H5]

Yes! #73 Corvette up to 1st in GTE-Pro!

Pitting now (#73)

 

[CarBastard]

Yes! #68 is 4th on LME-AM! I really hope they can cling podium they've been humble and done a good job. Take it home Andrea!

Signatech indeed going slowly in Hunaudieres.

 

[gtone339]

Engine problems for Signatech?

 

[MitchZ06]

Timing and scoring.

 

[Fido_le_muet]

Puncture for the Signatech Nissan :/

 

[Tommi]

Engine problems for Signatech?

Nope, puncture. Surprise, Surprise!

 

[CarBastard]

Seems signatech Nissan got a flat rear tyre. It's far from pits, sadly. Currently going trough the chicanes at the Ligne Droit des Hunaudieres.

Also, Lotterer did a 53 seconds pit stop for fuel only. Left the pitlane in the lead, no worries.

 

[gnsnprwldwsl]

Woah! They let Signatech Nissan cut the chicane; nice!

 

[gtone339]

Nope, puncture. Surprise, Surprise!

My bad, yeah your right.

 

[Furinkazen]

Morning everyone... see Audi still out front. What have I missed overnight?

 

[Submerged]

Is punctures common in this event? Or is it just because people are over-driving a little bit TOO hard?

 

[meeekael]

Common. 24 hours worth of collision debris on the track.

 

[SuperAguri]

OMG #26 puncture .................. >///<

 

[eVilate]

Damn that sucks for #26, hopefully no more problems come from getting it to the pits

 

[Submerged]

Common. 24 hours worth of collision debris on the track.

Yeah, I guess that was to be expected then....

 

[SuperAguri]

#26 retired ..............

 

[CarBastard]

Morning everyone... see Audi still out front. What have I missed overnight?

A heated battle between Audi and the Pesky Pugs. They had some ridiculous fighting moments and Pug is using some team tactics that not everyone has liked. It rained a little, though it didn't changed a great deal of things. And now we're seeing Audi keep it's dominant strategy with Lotterer who'll stay til the finish and the Signatech Nissan that has a puncture.
