77th Le Mans 24 Hours

[Lotrzyna]

Too bad that Audi#2 crashed

I'm all with Peugeot - top 3 positions for them WILL be great
But less Audies = less fight and more fight is always the bast to watch.

For your info Eurosport International will start transmission in 18m (at least here in Poland) so you can easly watch it online.

Peugeot #7 position 12 still going up - last lap 8s faster than Audi#1, but still a lot to do.

Wow Audi #3 burned the rubber

 

[Earth]

A Peugeot 1-2-3 is very possible, rather it be the #17 or #7 catching up

 

[Bram Turismo]

Oh no, problems for the 008 Aston

 

[Wardy 944]

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

I saw the silverstone round of the FIA GT championship we had a Nissan GT-R, Ford GT and Massarati MC12's, they would all look great if they are allowed in next years race

 

[Clark]

MC12's won't be. The only cars built to 2010 GT1 regs are the GT-R and the Ford.

 

[Wardy 944]

We also had Corvette's and Saleen's, but I guess they're also a bit long in the tooth now.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Also something to notice is the difference in daylight between France and where I live. It's getting dark in France, but the sun has just sunk behind the horizon here.

 

[Earth]

Imagine this

No Audis on the podium

That would be a shock

 

[Viper-Fan]

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

Hopefully 2nd place now I've just returned after 3 hours to get back to live coverage. I'm quite impressed with how strong Aston is atm. BTW, which position is the Pescarolo Peugeot in?

It's in 4th place, about 2 laps behind the leader

Thanks for the link 👍 I won't be needing it now though, I'm going to watch the race all the way through to the finish now.

 

[Clark]

I'm upset about the problems the #008 had, it was going so well.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Looks like Audi is having some overheating issues, all three cars have been in the garage now.

No Audis on the podium

That would be a shock

This could happen

#1 Audi problems and in the garage

wow

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

I am with you, the Aston-Lola looks gorgeous! Imo the clean nose of the car (small air intakes) helps a lot to make the car look much more beautiful than its rivals.

The Dome last year was also very good looking too! Sadly it wasnt very competitve....

 

[Viper-Fan]

I'm upset about the problems the #008 had, it was going so well.

Peugeot 1 & 2 now, Kristensen's unscheduled pitstop held him back quite a bit.

EDIT: Kristensen remains second, my mistake.

EDIT #2: Peugeot 1st and 2nd, Eurosport are slow with updating the overall classification .

 

[Bram Turismo]

Goddamnit! All these LIVE streams keep braking down me. Any word on one that's working with some decent English commentary?

This one was mentioned before and it is without commentary but this is working for me but maybe its protected for netherlands only, dunno that.

It worked, but after one minute it gets so incredibly laggy. Also, the Radio Le Mans commentary link isn't working for me.

Damn you SpeedTV, you guys have so good quality, just stream the whole damn thing!


*EDIT* Now the NL stream works perfectly 👍

Also, the closed cockpit Lola with that blue light over the cockpit looks so badas in the dark!

*EDIT2* Now it lags again

It is protected, you'll need to have an ISP address from Holland to be able to watch it.
BTW, you dont necessarily have to be from Holland to have an ISP address from there. (Not the type of thing I'd condone though)

The radio Le Mans uses windows media player so make sure that's installed for your browser. Firefox for instance needs a plugin to get it to work

 

[Bram Turismo]

It works now, there was something wrong with the link I guess 👍

Got sound now, only need video now

 

[Clark]

This stop is agonisingly long for the #8.

I found this on the pistonheads website, I've not tried it but everyone on there seems to say it's good.

Seabass seemed pretty confident with the interview he did just now, I wouldn't worry too much, there's plenty of time remaining.

Try this one, I also use it: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mundanetv
Be sure to go with full screen mode!

If you have cable TV you could probably watch it on Eurosport (considering your Euro location) - as I am since around 6PM (Eurosport and Eurosport2)

I must say the visibility in night is quite good but cars overtaking you come totally out of nowhere, lights communication must be quite intense

After 1/3rd of the race - still fast, maybe record still possible.
Too bad Peugeot had problems :/

Who from Europe intend to watch it all night ?

 

[Bram Turismo]

Thanks for all the links guys, I now have two spare links to use of one would fail

 

[Viper-Fan]

I do It's very intense this year no doubt.
