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

Here's the Deltawing crash video for those wondering

Just rammed off the track! Darn... Now the Toyota pits.

I was hoping to see something challenging the establishment. Not a chance now.

Sad

 

[obsessive rules]

I still want refreshment. Audi to lose, seriously. It's why I like deltawing, difference.

 

[Keitaro333]

The Toyota's back in the garage, hope it stays there.

Jeez, chill guys, why so much hate. One driver made a mistake (as they said, impossible for him to see around and in a huge pile) and now everyone wishes Toyota and the other drivers to be tortured in hell for eternity?

 

[TankAss95]

Why not? A long, long way to go now. Audi can easily suffer their own bad luck.

Pretty much. We are not even half way through yet guys. Anything can happen.

I still want Toyota to win.

 

[C-ZETA]

Funny how everyone who wanted Toyota to win suddenly jumps ship when a Toyota driver makes an error

So, so true.

I mean, it was clear by this point the DeltaWing was never gonna get a high finish now...

 

[Davidies]

And if they had, I would be going just at hard at them. It's not my first race, I just hate bad sportsmanship. Toyota took the position in a fair way. Audi used a loophole to get out faster, leaving the Toyota without any way to effectively respond.

Had they done it while the race was still going strong (as in no safecar on track), I wouldn't have any problem with it.

So say the Safety car was out, a lot of cars were going to pit, and some random car had the first pit room, all other cars had to wait even if it took several minutes? Like number 99 who had to stay in the pits for god knows how long

 

[MatskiMonk]

Dang, 1 Toyota out, and the other in the garage... Oh well... Yawn.

[uMadson?]

it sure is a bad day for the Japanese.

I'll be taking a short nap and will come back in 2 hours or so. Night everyone.

 

[Wardy 944]

no chance for toyota to win now'

You're right, there's only 17 hours to go

Thankfully I never wanted Toyota to win, so that doesn't apply to me.

 

[Christian_C]

I've lost interest now the Toyota's are pretty much out, don't fancy watching the same old Audi parade that I've seen for the past 12 years now.

I had a feeling Nakajima would screw it up somehow, don't know why. Since I saw him put his helmet on a few hours ago, I just thought Oh 🤬

[terminator363]

Anyone have a good stream. Mine's frozen.

Especially seen as it wouldn't be counted in the results. It's just an experiment.

 

[Luminis]

Well, good thing nobody's able to call me out on jumping ship, I never wanted Toyota to win, in the first place Too bad I missed the first few hours what, seemingly, has been a good fight between Toyota and Audi.

Basically this

 

[Demon Drone]

What??

After that stupid move of taking the Delta Wing out we all want it to break now.

 

[Furinkazen]

Its not over yet.

 

[Raceworx]

just read this :-

Highcroft Racing‏@highcroftracing

@SatoshiMotoyama working on getting car repaired to a state where we can get it back to the pits. #nissandeltawing #24LM

fingers crossed they can get it back to the pits and get it back out!

And you're the only person in the world watching it

 

[Furinkazen]

Davidson has shock but is ok.

 

[Squach240]

Why on earth did they get Nakajima for an endurance race. -.-

I had a feeling Nakajima would go rather rouge at some point. I don't want Toyota out, and neither anyone should want a team out of this. But that incident was just emotional.

Only 15 minutes left on that race coverage unless you have ESPNEWS. 👎

Barrichello having his best race of the season.

As for LeMans, Audi Wins, Corvette wins. Nothing new.

Stay classy, Toyota.

Funny how everyone who wanted Toyota to win suddenly jumps ship when a Toyota driver makes an error

I was willing them on, but these errors have pretty much ruled them out of the race, and they were such silly errors to boot.

 

[Scalage]

Delta Wing is NOT out, I repeat NOT OUT!!

 

[C-ZETA]

After that stupid move of taking the Delta Wing out we all want it to break now.

I don't.

So what's up with the Toyota anyway? If it is a full retirement that will be very sad. Then it will be another Audi farce for sure.
