80th running of the Le Mans 24 Hours - 16–17 June 2012

Should be good. Didn't Davidson set the lap record (3:19) in the 908 a few years back?

He does tend to drive above the limit and make mistakes

 

[TankAss95]

Probably because the Toyota is petrol-powered

Ain't diesel gonna carry this Toyota to victory boy!

Me>

So a petrol hybrid? Like a Prius who got bullied at school and decided to go on steroids and get buff?

Bad for GT cars...

Bad for Corvettes.

 

[Scalage]

Quick question: How many F1 champions have also won Le Mans?

 

[TheEnd35000vr]

The e-tron quattro sounds like a Jet Fighter to me. Not bad from a diesel

They take turns waving flags. Always 2 people at every post. They get swapped as well.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Why is that? The "hate to be that guy" part.

24 Hours of Waving for them.

 

[Endless-Wilso]

Thats still alot of waving since almost every other car is a lapped one.

 

[tomhart9]

I hate to be that guy but could someone give me a quick summary of any important bits I've missed since about the 22HR mark?

 

[Scalage]

Yep, it's a petrol engine with a hybrid system which runs it in the pitlane and cuts off the petrol engine. This way the petrol engine gets pushed into gear when exiting the pitlane so that there is no stress on the clutch like you normally would have to put the car into gear from a standstill.

 

[TheEnd35000vr]

Just seen the #3 Audi crash! Knew one would crash at some point.

 

[Furinkazen]

He just ripped bodywork off!!

Epic!!!!

 

[Auraxir]

[Fido_le_muet]
