83rd Running Of The Le Mans 24 Hours - 13/14 June 2015.

[GOTMAXPOWER]

It sounds like a gearbox problem, you can hear Gimmi Bruni clicking the paddle shift up and down.

 

[Wavey2014]

My internet is getting unbearable, I'm seriously considering standing in my backyard and watching the rest of the race on my phone

That's exactly what I'm doing right now...

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Yeah Andre, you're not breaking any records today sunshine. Apart from the lap record but sshh...

Oi, isn't the lap record Felipe's? Or did I miss something here while I was gone?

 

[sk8er913]

#23 is out on the track!

Did the 22 come in yet?

 

[C-ZETA]

Because Peugeot kinda also ran out of money to keep their Motorsport division up if I remember correctly.

But if just one of their cars survives in 2010, god knows what Le Mans is like today...but they didn't, so we get this.

 

[GTPorsche]

That's the end of the battle in GTE Pro.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Bummed for AF Corse! They're not my favourite team by far, but they don't deserve this.

 

[Luminis]

Dumas taking third and the 'Vette holding on to first in GTE, that'd be the perfect result for me

All my Le Mans wishfulfillment in sight when I can't watch, don't know whether to laugh or cry...

 

[Silent Drifter]

I'm glad I upgraded my router, to a wireless router, that can do the 802.11ac. Streaming is a lot easier now, getting 65MB down, over wireless, compared to my old wireless, getting 12MB

 

[Legro]

That's pretty much it for the number 51.

Damn, who started supporting them? @hsv?

 

[C-ZETA]

Oi, isn't the lap record Felipe's? Or did I miss something here while I was gone?

Andre's 3:17.475 is now the official lap record for the modern track.

 

[mikeerfol]

Did the 22 come in yet?

Both Nissans are out.

Ah, now I got it

 

[Furinkazen]

COrvette fairy tail is on.

 

[Silent Drifter]

Sounds like transmission for the #51.

 

[NW48]

Eurosport is covering the race on Foxtel along with Fox Sports. I've been interchanging between the two, avoiding all ad breaks.

Seems like Australia has the best TV coverage in the world at the moment though.

I was doing that, but after a while, Eurosport's coverage became a crapshoot so I just stuck with FS4.

I think that's a first, but not surprising with the level of professionalism from Fox Sports.

 

[TheEnd35000vr]

#51 has power issues I believe. Go Corvette!!

Both #22 & #23 Nissans are running again, onboard cameras back on.

 

[Bo]

Peugeot, speaking as the biggest fan of them imaginable, didn't have luck. It's that simple. You can prepare all you like to make your job easier, but you need luck. They simply didn't have it about 70% of the time.

I'm glad I upgraded my router, to a wireless router, that can do the 802.11ac. Streaming is a lot easier now, getting 65MB down, over wireless, compared to my old wireless, getting 12MB

The problem usually is overheating transistors due to poor cooling... moto gp wth?

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Andre's 3:17.475 is now the official lap record for the modern track.

Ah, sandblast. Oh well, Andre was bound to do that one way or the other, being as crazy fast as he is, so I guess Felipe was only delaying the inevitable. It was good for us Portuguese fans while it lasted, haha.

 

[AudiMan2011]

With a Porsche win, will Audi run off to F1 ?

Unlikely. They'll probably come out with an R18 Plus next year like how they did with the R15.

 

[SJC ALPHA]

Unlikely, you don't close a lmp1 program for just one race not won.

I agree, just looking from VAG perspective.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I thought you got Foxtel hooked up? It's much better on Fox Sports 4. Very little ads and less irritating commentators.

I do have FOXTEL hooked up. But I find the commentary on FOX 4 to be pretty dull - they sounds like they don't want to be there. And Eurosport did actually have really good coverage during the small hours. It was only from about 9:00am local time that they started the longer and more frequent as breaks.

 

[Silent Drifter]

Unlikely. They'll probably come out with an R18 Plus next year like how they did with the R15.

Even though I'll root against them. I hope they stay in the WEC.

 

[Luminis]

Unlikely. They'll probably come out with an R18 Plus next year like how they did with the R15.

R18 Plus vs 919 Evo? I'll watch that

 

[sk8er913]

#51 has power issues I believe. Go Corvette!!

Both #22 & #23 Nissans are running again, onboard cameras back on.

Corvette team said they think 51 lost 5th gear.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

If the Corvette breaks down now the other AF Corse car can still win, there is still hope.

 

[GTracer98]

If the Corvette breaks down now the other AF Corse car can still win, there is still hope.

The Corvette's been quite solid this race though.

 

[Hetare21]

R18 Plus vs 919 Evo? I'll watch that

Don't forget TS050, which is coming next year.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Bummed for AF Corse! They're not my favourite team by far, but they don't deserve this.

What is this thing called deserve? In sport you can earn it or you can be lucky but that's all.

Ah ok, that explains it. I stuck with FS4 during the small hours then switched to Eurosport at around 10am local time as the new FS4 commentators became dull. Now the one's that did the start are back so I'm keeping it locked on FS4.
