Le Mans is just awesome, nothing to do with us

"Most racing drivers remove tear-off strips. I rip off car front panels." - Dumas.

After stupidly understeering off into the tyre barrier.

 

[C-ZETA]

If Toyota wins, someone put Dumas into a video title 'Romain Dumas reacts to Toyota's win'.

I have probably completely jinxed a Toyota win having said that.

 

[TypeRDC5]

What?! THat's BS! Are drivers allowed to overtake in any way when the safety car is out? Bah, this is making me mad!

I'm sure in the pits anything goes.

 

[Tomt5]

Ferrari driver just said that he saw him coming... so I guess he just totally misjudged the closing speeds.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

So you're driving a Ferrari on the Mulsanne straight and see the blue flags being waved at you. You are aware of the speed difference between a GT car and an LMP car. You suspect an LMP being behind you since the blue flags are being waved at you, but instead you choose to ignore your mirrors because you suspect the driver behind you probably isn't racing for position anyway. Oh wait.

And it's not like the Mulsanne corner is a place where many overtakes happen, right? Oh wait.

I can tell you haven't watched the replay as they went by the post on the left hand side and there was no blue flag shown

Ferrari driver said he could see Davidson but couldn't tell the distance away he was.

 

[Christian_C]

"I saw him but I thought it was impossible for him to overtake me there" basically what the Ferrari driver just said.

Wow Perazzini was just on Eurosport. How on earth did he get a racing seat.. ?!?!?!?? Surely, he must be trolling. Can they ban drivers from participating ? And Toyota did so well :rage:

You're not supposed to wait if something takes longer for the other guy in pit lane. Come on, the same thing happens in Nascar!

It would be unfair if they were not allowed to overtake in the pits. For example, what if you came in behind a car, that then had a problem and had to make a 5 min pitstop. You would have to wait 5 mins too, conceding alot of places in the progress.

Blue flags are shown before the crash point, so he was fully aware of the Toyota's presence well before the Mulsanne corner.

He even said in the interview he saw the Toyota, now I really don't understand what the hell he was doing on the racing line then.

Yeah Speed just got a word with him and he was trying to avoid the question. This guy has no business being in a racing car.

Oops, girlfriend took control of the remote...
I'll have to wait untill she falls asleep again

Any more ideas? I'm sorta running out of them

 

[JBanton]

What could possibly have been going through that Ferarri driver's mind???

Safety rules were created for a reason, I don't know whether to be angry at the lack of following instruction or annoyed that a Toyota has been wiped out of the event.

One does not simply take off the parts of the car.

The guy from 81 says that is not his fault on tv he should think again about going racing.
