77th Le Mans 24 Hours

[Clark]

#2 R15 off!

 

[Wardy 944]

Audi off

 

[Joey D]

Wow one of the Audi's just crashed, #2.

 

[Clark]

Can anybody say Aston Martin win?

 

[Wardy 944]

Aston Martin win

 

[Clark]

That car is done.

 

[Speedster502]

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

It was just a BRSCC meet with Formula Jedi's, BESCR, Scottish Mini Cooper Cup and some Porsche 924's, hopefully I got some good shots!

Anyway, that Audi looks rather broken.

 

[Joey D]

I'm surprised he got the Audi fired back up, I figure it was all done. Maybe they can mend it enough to get it back out on the track?

It looked like the officials didn't want to let him drive back to the pit.

 

[Wardy 944]

That Audi is dead.

If it has any kind of an oil leak what so ever, the marshalls should not allow him to drive it back to the pits for repairs.

 

[Clark]

I don't think they should, it would be dangerous to have that wreck pootling round the track at jogging pace.

If anyone is looking for some high quality live streaming, go to www.speedtv.com. I'm finally watching the race now, feel gutted I've missed all this action

Good to hear the Astons are running consistently though! 👍

 

[Joey D]

So why do some cars have yellow head lamps and some have white? Does it have something to do with class? I think I read something at some point about it.

 

[Clark]

Yellow-GT Car
White- LMP

 

[Joey D]

Gotcha, thanks 👍

Aston seem to had gone for the hare and the tortoise approach

The headlights are now starting to illuminate the road, the night is coming

yes, prototypes have white GT cars have yellow

Helps drivers to know what they're passing or whats coming up on them

Audi and Peugeot are making mistakes, but in order for the Pescarolo 908 or Astons to win the factor diesels need mroe problems

 

[Clark]

The Pesca 908 is starting to look strong now.

Let's just not forget people, the #1 Audi is still in second.

 

[Ardius]

Aston could feasibly finish very well tomorrow, picking up the pieces from all these mistakes by Audi and Peugeot. If somehow the number 1 Audi comes into trouble, I think the Lola-Aston Martin could be in contention for a podium if not amazingly a win?

 

[Bram Turismo]

Damn, Aston Martin in 4th and 6th, I never expected them to run so strong. The Peugeot really isn't that much more faster than the Aston either. Seeing that Aston sweeping through the Indianapolis and the Porsche curves with the fog on the background is so incredibly beautiful to look at 👍

 

[Clark]

No, the 908 is alot faster, they really just don't need to push.

Fastest 908 Lap: 3:25.028
Fasest R15 Lap: 3:27.500
Fasest Aston Lap: 3:30.146

 

[Wardy 944]

#1 audi in 2nd

#2 audi officially retired

#3 audi 34 laps down

 

[Bram Turismo]

No, the 908 it alot faster, they really just don't need to push.

Fastest 908 Lap: 3:25.028
Fasest R15 Lap: 3:27.500
Fasest Aston Lap: 3:30.146

5 seconds, that is quite the gap Oh well, even the gap is so much, they're definitly taking the mistakes of Audi and Peugeot into their advantage 👍

I just cannot be silent about the sheer beauty of these Aston machines

 

[Wardy 944]

Big impact for the #72 Corvette C6.R

 

[Speedster502]

Agree, best looking car in LMP1 I think, perhaps even the whole race 👍

Damn my speed tv feed just went black. I think it's a shame there aren't any ford gt gt1 cars racing. Some more Lambo's would be nice to.

Yep, I think they've shut it down because it wil continue on SpeedTV or something...It says from midnight EST...

 

[Clark]

The Ford GT1'S aren't allowed until next year. They only race invitationally in the FIA GT this year.

Yeah i had to reload the page a few times for it to show that info.
Also a very good stream:
http://www.rtl.nl/components/sport/rtl_gp/miMedia/livestream/insb.xml?forcewmp
Best opened in IE. Firefox doesn't show it right on my system.
And the commentary from radio Le Mans:

Good combo

Good to know. Really enjoyed the Adria race.

 

[Joey D]

Yup it's back on Speed TV right now.
