77th Le Mans 24 Hours

[Lotrzyna]

Just uploaded 787B pictures if any of you is interested.
Sorry for poor editing, better quality pictures after weekend

I will try to watch every second of it, I hope I will not get tired in the night

 

[Metar]

Most F1 teams also own two (or more!) wind-tunnels, and are now allowed to use just one anyway..

 

[Michael88]

Is there going to be a live stream in the internet? I have problems with my receiver and it seems to be not fixable....

 

[Paulie]

About to start, very excited. I've never seen Le Mans racing, it's not something we're priveleged to in Australia.

Quite Paulie, this is all thanks to ONE HD, the other channels have only shown highlights delayed by a week.

It's great to know the circuit thanks to GT:tup:

 

[Clark]

I'll be watching pretty much all of it.

Remember GTP Le Mans Club here!

 

[Clark]

Boogity Boogity Boogity! Let's go racing!

 

[McLaren]

Doesn't look like Aston was given a lot of credit. They've taken over a R15 already.

 

[Clark]

Well Joss Verstappen was saying that the diesels are running higher downforce so they Aston's aren't lacking straightline speed, but the diesels just have another level of grip in the corners.

The point is that the diesels can run as fast as the low downforce petrol P1's on the straight while having high downforce, if that makes sense.

The other aston is challenging the #3 Audi aswell now.
Peugeots on another level.

#3 Werner R15 off!

Radio Le mans if you do need English.

#3 audi off in the gravel

 

[Joey D]

Wow I can't believe the Audi just went off course, and what 10 minutes in?

Oh and it's lame, it's not in HD on Speed, what kind of crap is that?

 

[McLaren]

#3 Werner R15 off!

As soon as I saw him coming into that first turn, it was obvious something was going to happen. Just carried way too much speed on the wrong line into the turn. Luckily, Audi's still got 23 hours for that car to get back up.

The race is still young.

 

[Clark]

Is it too early to say a repeat of Peugeot's 1-2-3 in 1993?

 

[Michael88]

Aston Martin Lola go go!

I've found an english streaming channel: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mundanetv (SpeedTv)

Way too early. Astons are carrying a lot of speed on the straight, so all it takes is for Peugeot to get into a snag where Aston can catch up.

 

[Clark]

I knew it was too early, I'm a seasoned Le Mans fan, it just has this feel already. All though I am saying this knowing how Peugeot somehow managed to lose last year.

Leaders have hit the GT2 Traffic already.

 

[zed300]

I think Premat clipped the kerb, yer? The car seems ok.

 

[Clark]

Did everybody see that Audi R8 V10 advert on Eurosport then?

 

[Tired Tyres]

Number 68 Lamborgini has retired. What a surprise.

 

[Michael88]

Maybe he was braking at the curb, thats a insta-slide guarantee.

 

[McLaren]

He didn't slide. It appears he hit the curb wrong and it pushed him in the other direction.

Number 68 Lamborgini has retired. What a surprise.

JLOC just aren't endurance racers. They try to hard to set their car up to be different from the Super GT.

 

[Wardy 944]

Number 68 Lamborgini has retired. What a surprise.

They were so far off the pace in Qualifying, I'm suprised the ACO allowed them to start.

 

[Michael88]

Peugeot 4 seconds faster than Audi? WOW!

 

[Earth]

I knew the Peugeots had the raw speed advantage, but 3 seconds a lap?

If Peugeot and the drivers don't choke or break down again this is going to be a slaughter

Yep, it's just a shame we have to sleep, otherwise I'd watch a LOT more One HD, especially now I seen they're trying to show DTM and everything I think. Woe is me, 6-9hrs a day wasted for stupid sleep.

Is it too early to say a repeat of Peugeot's 1-2-3 in 1993?

Yes it's too early, but they are looking remarkably strong.

I think Premat clipped the kerb, yer? The car seems ok.

You know their names?!


This thread grows too quickly, my TV and computer are in different rooms so I can't come out very often.

 

[Wardy 944]

The GT2 battle is fantastic, It needs to get more air time!!!

 

[[FPV]Rusty]

Wurz in lap 10, Purgeot possibly ran their cars slightly lighter at the start to creat a gap to the audi's?

 

[Wardy 944]

puncture!!!
