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

Stay classy, Toyota.

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.

The second one was clearly Nakajima's fault but when you say error's do you mean the first accident was Davidson's fault?. Like someone said a P2 car overtook a Ferrari in the same corner with no incidents so i don't see how its an error on Davidson's part.

That is unless the Ferraris start mowing people down again.

We're gonna make this race exciting NAAAAAAAAAAASCAR Style brah... . Quick, someone get Vickers inside a Ferrari!

 

[SilverArrow]

Its not over yet.

Yep, there's plenty of time for it to get worse. . After that brief toyota audi battle, I really thought the underdogs actually were going to take the fight to them. Then Nakajima got in the car...

I missed what happened to the Astons.

In GTE Pro the Aston is 2:40 down on the class lead, held by the Corvette

Either that or it starts raining. I'm hoping for the latter.

Whats with all the ******** on Nakajima? Im not a big racing viewer. Why do people dislike him / think hes a bad driver?

 

[hornet_burnout]

Delta wing was staying out of the way. Naka was the 5th (?) LMP1 to go by and had no idea when he turned right.

Racing incident. Why it didn't happen with an Audi? Plenty of those left

 

[Fido_le_muet]

Back from dinner.
What happened since Davidson's huge crash ?
Where are we in the Audi/Toyota battle ?

Is live timing done again ?

If there was anyone to screw up something, I also suspected it would be Nakajima.

You can't blame him, though. Le Mans is a whole different thing to F1 with all this traffic. He has what it takes, of course, but just give him some time to adapt to this racing scene.

I honestly think Toyota's assault is over for this year, but I'm not feeling bad for what they've achieved so far this year. You can only respect them for the swiftness they've put together this project and that they actually brought the battle to Audi as long as they lasted.

I'd say job well done, Toyota. See you guys next year with what will probably be a hugely improved TS030 that'll hopefully facewreck the Audis.

I agree, don't entirely blame him but had a feeling that with him in the car, something was going to go wrong, his fault or not.

Toyota's still in its box. 10th overall at the moment.

 

[DVNTST8]

Where are we in the Audi/Toyota battle ?

Think Nakajima.

Nakajima exploded the Deltawing with the back of his Toyota, the end result being that the Auid/Toyota battle no longer exists.

Can someone please tell me the difference between a GT Pro car and a GT Am car.

 

[CarBastard]

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Speed broadcast is done with Le Mans and moving to some idiotic Nationwide race. Which is the most reccomended stream at the moment?

 

[Fido_le_muet]

Think Nakajima.

Ok, I get where this is going
damn the Delta is out ?

 

[TankAss95]

Toyota aren't even hurrying they're just chilling in their garage lol.

Silly Toyota. You were doing so well. You were even in first place for a few seconds.

 

[OK8]

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

Yeah..... sigh.

It was building up to the biggest climax and after 5 seconds it was all over. Luckily there's still plenty to go and GT pro battle is on as well.

Error and accident, is what I meant.

 

[Furinkazen]

Rebellion racing looking good in P4 and 5....

 

[Rossell2]

Elvis!

Plus jumping on the front of the Dome to do the windscreen.

 

[Emptyone]

Ok, I get where this is going
Did he hit another car ? A barrier ?

Nakajima hit the Delta Wing in the Porsche Curves whilst fighting with the Audi. DW is pretty much out and the Toyota has been in the pits ever since.

EDIT: 500 posts

Try this:

Along with the Radio Le Mans audio stream:

I wonder if Sato and Nakajima are distant cousins or something....everytime they do somewhat well or are in a position to do well they crash or break down or some bad luck or brain fade happens. Now they've both had accidents in the space of an hour of each other!
Thankfully Kobayashi is around to fly the flag for Japanese drivers that don't crash.

The Am are amateur racers.
The cars are nearly the same as the Pro's but maybe not as good set up
