Sucks for Porsche to have trouble again

 

[Cobra_GT500]

Is that Porsche out then?

Germany is getting

OOUUUUUUUTTTTTTT

 

[Furinkazen]

Toyota must be laughing.

 

[MLDoom]

That was a nice shot of Audi team watching with almost a smile on their face... the joy they are feeling inside.

 

[uMadson?]

where were you when Porsche was kill

Hmmm...not quite. #2 still has chances to win, #8 is nowhere near a podium, #20 isn't running fast but it's running strong.

 

[Prince.M5]

It's horrible seeing the car crawling back real slow.. A low fuel pressure problem.

It was even more horrible hearing it . Audi #2 in the pits, full service. Lotterer out and Tréluyer in. Nakajima preparing for a pitstop and driver change of #7.

Seems you've forgotten about the #2 car, which is only 1 Lap behind. All it takes is 1 Full Course caution and the fight is on.

Japang will take it, go home

That and the fact that there is still 11 hours left in the race.

 

[RACECAR]

Exactly. If there was anything Peugeot taught us in 2010, Its not a wise idea to write off the competition when there is still 11 hours left.

 

[Furinkazen]

Anyone still here who has been watching since 13 hours ago?

 

[CarBastard]

Yup, 11 hours at Le Mans means anything can happe. Maybe even Rebellion winning the race overall !

Anyone still here who has been watching since 13 hours ago?

Here!

 

[Spacegoat]

Disappointing for #14 Porsche. This is shaping up to be a fantastic battle between the #7 Toyota and #2 Audi though and there's still 11 hours left.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but was 2010 the year where the lead Peugeot retired in the last hour of the race?

 

[Organ-Donor]

Here

 

[Prince.M5]

Anyone still here who has been watching since 13 hours ago?

I'm still here.. And I just checked the weather for today and at the moment, there isn't any chance for a rain.

 

[CarBastard]

DMG seems serious on #14 Porsche....

 

[RACECAR]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but was 2010 the year where the lead Peugeot retired in the last hour of the race?

Yep, both factory cars (after one of them retired earlier) as well as the Oreca car. People were so convinced Peugeot had it until that unfolded.

Of course. 👍

 

[Shinshiki]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but was 2010 the year where the lead Peugeot retired in the last hour of the race?

Wasn't the last hour. About an hour and a half left to go and the turbo on the Oreca Peugeot gave up.

 

[CarBastard]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but was 2010 the year where the lead Peugeot retired in the last hour of the race?

Yup, they were running beyond flat out, completely pushed by Audi's pace and ended up blowing up their engines .

 

[RACECAR]

The Oreca car was probably the most spectacular because it was chasing down the Leading Audi, cutting down the lead in huge chunks and when it went, you could just see the dejection in the team principal's face.

 

[Prince.M5]

And that was the year where we saw all Peugeot powered cars ended up in flames!

 

[CarBastard]

It seems the battle in GTPRO could heat up yet again! 14s gap between P1 Ferrari #51 and P2 Aston.

 

[NotThePrez]

Of course. 👍

Great hourly reports, btw. 👍 I've been away from the race most of the day (more than I anticipated) and they've really helped me get up to speed (no pun intended).

 

[Cobra_GT500]

Porsche are back in the race

 

[CarBastard]

#14 finally out of the garage and now heading out of the pits. Let's see if they let us know what was the issue.
