[Cano]

Not that stupid, he managed to be overtaken by lmp2 car in the same spot without causing a crash.

The car is stupid, the driver isnt (:

 

[Azure Flare]

I hope they can get the DeltaWing fixed.

 

[uMadson?]

The DeltaWings is officially out.

*gasp*

 

[Downhill Dino]

Anyone else hearing? A Ferrari seems to be having problems starting up.

The DeltaWings is officially out.

Nooo.

 

[Squach240]

The DeltaWings is officially out.

That's absolutely tragic.

 

[Demon Drone]

I hope that Toyota breaks now.

 

[Luminis]

The DeltaWings is officially out.

Wee, thanks Toyota/Nakajima

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.

Is having a more efficient team of mechanics a loophole? The overtaking is prohibited during yellow flag for safety purposes but what's the thret of an overtake in pitlane? The yellow flags purpose isn't to stop the race, is to control the cars speed and manouvers while clean-up is done, so I still think that what you say is somewhat off...

Yeah, I know. The scrolling position box at the top of the screen said so.

 

[RACECAR]

Can't believe it, all this crashing and none of it involved Vickers. Has Hell frozen over yet?

 

[obsessive rules]

The Deltawings out? Whu? It's lasted ages for a car made in 100 days. And no, it hasn't pitted.

There is no loophole. Toyota would have done the same thing. Is this your first time watching a le mans race?

 

[Raceworx]

no mention of it being out on the coverage and still running on the timings..

 

[Thursday7]

the Davison crash was 100% Ferraris fault he knocked him.

[C-ZETA]

So our pint sized rocket is out now. Shame.

To be fair though, Toyota have really won me over here, and it's such a shame they were the culprit.

 

[uMadson?]

Such a crucial mistake from the team I'm rooting for...

 

[Scalage]

Is there a vid about the delta incident? I missed it and I'm watching eurosport who doesn't replay it

 

[CarBastard]

Godspeed Deltawing, we'll remember you in a loving manner .

 

[Downhill Dino]

I hope that Toyota breaks now.

I think we all hope so now.

Funny since after the first Toyota went out we wanted the other to win, now I bet we want #7 to go down.

 

[Patrick]

Sucks the Delta Wing is out.

 

[SilverArrow]

This race just got very depressing after these calamities. However it's not over yet.

 

[Thursday7]

im not worried about the Deltawing, the goal of this race is to bring shame to Audi.

Biased post is biased.

What's the Audi crew suppposed to do? "Oh, yeah, look, those Toyota guys are sloww as snails, let's grab a drink and kick back a gear."

Deal with it, Le Mans is largely won by how long the cars are in the pits and Audi was just faster than that. Plus, it hardly matters anyways. Thank Nakajima for that. Sheesh.

 

[uMadson?]

Sorry to kill the mood but I'm loving how the #48 looks like.

Stop and go penalty for #75

 

[TheEnd35000vr]

Great. 1 of the 2 teams im supporting put the other of the 2 teams im supporting out.








Bloody hell.

 

[TankAss95]

This last 2 hours have been very disappointing. Everything was getting so exciting but now it's just gone to meh again.

Audi #1 is achieving quicker lap times than Toyota #7.

 

[CodeRedR51]

There is no loophole. Toyota would have done the same thing. Is this your first time watching a le mans race?

Or racing in general...

 

[CarBastard]

Relax guys. As much as I love the Deltawing, I still want Toyota to soldier on. I want Audi to win, and I'm sure they will, but I don't want a lame victory. I wan't Toyota to fight on until the end and the best Audi, I mean, the best team, taking the win.

 

[obsessive rules]

Car no.40 is getting a stop & go penalty.
