[Luminis]

Can't say I'm unhappy to see Audi winning, but Toyota being taken out by accidents sure sucks...

 

[scarslasher]

I'm here late. I know what happened to the Deltawing, but what about GT Academy?

 

[Desmo46]

Incident under investigation.

 

[Azura]

OMG! An LMP2 just overtook a Ferrari in the same spot and they did not crash! How can it be?????

/irony /sarcasm

 

[CarBastard]

Just because it's allowed, doesn't make it right from the perspective of what's fair. It's pathetic to see someone regaining their position in such a way, when their opponent got the position fair and square.

Huh? I'm sorry but I don't find any sesne in what you say. Endurance racing is a matter of plenty of things beside outright speed. Pit strategy, teamwork, intelligence, that's important in endurance racing and I don't think it's pathetic. I think it's brilliant the work done by the mechanics, and the fact they can have such an effect on the race just shows how skilled are they.

They've played the replay like 10 times if you're watching Speed.

 

[obsessive rules]

Marino franchitti said it was lucky it was common parts and the DW is "a tough wee thing".

Missed Davidson's crash...just turned eurosport back on and i see a crane with something that looked like pieces of barrier, then a safety car..

That crash was ***king scary tho, glad that the drivers seem to be alright.
The Ferrari driver didn't seem to notice the Toyota, and i didn't notice any blue flags (then again i watched in crappy resolution on my phone) maybe it was marshalls' fault?

As for Nakajima, seems like it was his fault, I am extremely gutted for Toyota (Shame for the phallusmobile obviously, but call me cynical, i don't care much for it), I was expecting some tight racing from them in the night, but now it looks like it will be an Audi-fest :/

Tho i reckon it's a bit soon to judge.

It's not Audi's fault that Toyota's driver decided to be a dumbass.

They overtook the Toyota by using a loophole in the rules. That's all. It makes not sense to allow overtaking in the pits while the safety car is out, as the entire point is to essentially stop the race for a while. It's not good sportsmanship.

And to then start the race in a manner where the leading cars are packed in a group of slower cars, is just downright idiotic. Yes, the driver of the Toyota was at fault in the Porsche curves, but they shouldn't have started there in the first place.

Please Deltawing, live on!!!

 

[zippy_the_cat]

Marino Franchitti very harsh on Nakajima in a Speed interview: "He showed all the spatial awareness he did in F1," or words to that effect.

Webber was very much on the same point in the interview Speed did with him after the Davidson crash.

 

[otakukid96]

The DeltaWings is officially out.

 

[Raceworx]

did the deltawing get back to the pits?
