Has anyone got pictures from that Safety Car C??

 

[Jawehawk]

why are audi not in F1??

Because F1 is boring!

 

[Fryto]

Audi and Toyota will be on a witch hunt after this.

It was not really clear for me from the replay whether it was McNish or the Ferrari's fault.

But Porsche curves + too eager McNish... , don't know if that Ferrari made a mistake...

 

[obsessive rules]

[uMadson?]

30 SECOND STOP & GO PENALTY #70!

omgggggg

 

[Luminis]

So compared to last year, how do you guys think this year's Le Mans has went (so far)?

Mediocre. The battle between the R18s was pkay, but generally not as interesting as watching the last remaining R18 fight of the Pugs last years.

Also, less conrod-blowing and fire spitting

 

[Gejabo]

ARGH BBC-player crashed... F5,F5,F5,F5,F5,

 

[Fryto]

Next year's cars will have a huge, dead horse painted on them

Or the Angy Birds logo...

 

[Luminis]

Porsche may jot be in till 2015.

Porsche's race director guy says otherwise. 2014 it is.

 

[Wardez]

Porsche may jot be in till 2015.

You are correct, they made a statement that it wouldn't be till 2015:

Wasn't the Ferrari's fault. McNish moved underneath to pass and when he got back on the throttle it came around.

 

[Gejabo]

It's back

Via @highcroftracing on Twitter, The Toyota team including Nakajima went to apologise to the DeltaWing team this morning:

 

[Furinkazen]

#50 is the lead Vette.

 

[Luminis]

Or the Angy Birds logo...

They'll be armed with horse tranquilizers, though, that's for sure

 

[Nessy]

Go on Porsche!!, can't stand the Corvettes.

 

[HumanDestroyah]

why are audi not in F1??

Because Ferrari would scare them into the wall.

 

[uMadson?]

Then Eurosport goes into a commercial break.

LAME

 

[obsessive rules]

Is it irony that they're still showing deltawing ads?

 

[Gejabo]

That overtake was way to easy...
Looked like team orders

 

[CarBastard]

Wasn't the Ferrari's fault. McNish moved underneath to pass and when he got back on the throttle it came around.

Yup, definitely no intefering and no touching from the Fezza. McNish lost it on his own.

Crashing the car when you're going first, awesome b-day gift for your friend...

Ohhh!!!!

Looks like sportsmanship isn't dead!!! Some faith in humanity has been restored!

 

[Luminis]

Normally, I'd agree, but damn, those 'Vettes sound soooo sexy.

 

[uMadson?]

Accidents happen; that's racing.
