77th Le Mans 24 Hours

[albteman015]

Audi decides to change noses trying to improve the car. These noses should better be worth 20 seconds, or else they'll have to re-change...

They are trying to do something with the aerodynamics of the cars. Possibly to help the understeer.

 

[albteman015]

I didnt pay attention, Ive heard that the Audi with the nose change leaks coolant?

not the Audi the 009 Aston Martin is leaking.


double post sorry.

I know this is off topic, Does anyone know where I can find live streaming of GT500 and GT300 from japan??

Wow, posting something like that in here. There's already a thread about Super GT so try looking there.

Wow sorry!! Why do you think i said "off topic"

 

[Clark]

Like I said there's already a Super GT thread. There's no need to go off topic, this isn't the GT5 section of the forums we're talking about.

Here's the Super GT thread: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=114814

No please leave this thread if you're going to take things off topic. (Super GT doesn't provide very good racing anyway)

what is your problem man, i made a mistake and I was asking for a little help..

 

[Lotrzyna]

Looking at the results after 4h

Leading car did 66L in exactly 4h and few seconds.

If KNOCK ON THE WOOD the weather would be good till the end of the race, there would be no technical defects, no accidents and yellow flag...
leading car can beat all time distance record ! (including distances done without chicane in 1000km cars) - Peugeot rules this year

Lucky you who are watching Le Mans for the first time.

BDW Audis are speeding up :/ currently best lap only 3s slower than Peugeot.

Woooow that Aston Martin definitely wasn't an English gentleman ...

 

[albteman015]

That crash could have been avoided. Stupid driving from whoever is in the 009 aston.

 

[Clark]

It was Stuart Hall, thankfully it's the Aston that was already at the back.

 

[Michael88]

Yeah, he tailed the radical right into the tire wall at the pit entrance. I am really surprised that its engine survived the rear-end impact.

 

[Lotrzyna]

So I presumed it in the worst meaning of that word - the safety car is on the track :/ - record in jeopardy ...

What is the proper idiom for that situation in English ? - unintentionally "predict" something wrong, something that we wouldn't like to happen at all ?

 

[Tired Tyres]

Clearly the driver of 009 has been playing GT5P online.

Have the two lead Peugeots just put a lap on the Audi's during that Safety Car pitstop?

The SpeedTV online coverage has a really nice picture and widescreen. I suspected the race was wide earlier when I found a stream that looked like a widescreen picture that had been squashed rather than chopped at the sides.

Does anybody know how long the Speed online will keep going for?

I think it goes on until 4:30

 

[LancerEvo7]

^^Until 4:30 GMT-4 (EDT).

 

[Mr.Grandorifto]

come on Audi, how many noses do you guys have?

 

[albteman015]

come on Audi, how many noses do you guys have?

they asked that to one of the drivers before and he said "enough"

 

[LancerEvo7]

"Enough" to change one every 2 laps

 

[Mr.Grandorifto]

they asked that to one of the drivers before and he said "enough"

well how much is a "enough" 5, 10. How many can a team have?

 

[T-Squared]

Why must speed have truck racing instead of Le Mans! >

 

[Lotrzyna]

After 5 and a half hour
amazing, very fast race;
big beautiful to watch traffic on the track and overtakes

Peugeot #7 pos.17 and going up.

 

[Wardy 944]

lead Peugeot in the pits with problems?

 

[Lotrzyna]

Unfortunately (((
Apparently S.Bourdais destroyed tier and something wrong with the suspension ?
Audi took 2nd position right after other Peugeot

 

[Wardy 944]

They are changing the whole rear left suspension.

Finally managed to join the race, went to Cadwell Park this afternoon so missed the start of the race. I only managed to watch a bit, just after the Aston Martin crashing into the R10 I think. But I'm watching now, and will be for the rest of the night probably.

 

[Clark]

I hope Seabass and the crew can bring the #8 car back up to the very front.

 

[Ardius]

Great to see Davidson running well 👍 good battle developing with the Pescarolo 908.

 

[Clark]

Seabass is right behind the Pesca 908 aswell.

Brilliant P2 battle developing. EDIT: Well it was.

 

[Clark]

It goes to an advert just as Seabass catches Davidson!
F1 driver vs F1 driver.

What did you see and did you get many good pictures?
