Alonso in the car! Time for me to go full fanboy!

And the car to go full Toyota at Le Mans.

Alonso in the car! Time for me to go full fanboy!

I wonder if he can see in the dark?

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

Oh crap! Just looked at the time. Waaay past my bad time!

*gone*

Can't be a good time then.

Those of us with wives consider it a blessing when we're llowed to watch races for hours at a time. I have to make compromises " but babe le mans is the super bowl of races, let me watch just this one " and then a month later I'm begging her again to watch spa 24

Commemtators calling out the director for switching off the racing.

 

[Furinkazen]

Anyone else now unable to access the "pure sound" stream of Eurosport Player?

 

[Jezza819]

Alonzo is plugged in now and set on attack mode.. If Toyota puts Lopez in the #7 now you know the fix is in.

Spa 24h is live an excellent race too! Been there last year and after 11PM everyone almost leaves so you get the best spots, you should try to go there once!

You know it's bad when even they're complaining about cutting away from the on-track action to show some random guy on pit lane watching a monitor.

 

[jake2013guy]

Yes. Jake does say Happy Fathers Day.

Yes I should, if I ever get a passport. Never left the states in my 30 year life. One day, maybe.

"The Man with the spectacles again.. Don't need to see that image again.. For a third time"

 

[DesertPenguin]

I'm stepping away for a bit. I know the thread is gonna go fast but if anything actually important happens like a crash or a car getting retired can someone please tag me so I'll know it's worth checking the notification?

*regarding an Aston Martin GTE bonnet*

"If you can get all the pieces, you can make an Aston Martin GT3 car."

Probably more likely to make a GTE car.

 

[Furinkazen]

Did Ginetta take their bonnet clips from a Junior?

 

[comu]

Alonso closes gap to under 2 minutes.

 

[Jarnokee963]

#25 Algarve Pro Racing crashed probably with #88 Dempsey Racing.

 

[Furinkazen]

#25 Algarve Pro Racing crashed probably with #88 Dempsey Racing.

Eh? #25 is off Mulsanne Corner. #88 spun himself out at Arnage.

 

[Silent Drifter]

#25 Algarve Pro Racing crashed probably with #88 Dempsey Racing.

That onboard with the #8 Yota, coming up on that stopped #25, can be pretty scary.

Mine actually doesn't mind and watches some of it with me, and goes to the 24hrs of Daytona and 12hrs of Sebring with me. It's funny though because I used the exact same example about it being the Superbowl of races. We even went out for a quick dinner at a sports bar and I had them put the race on one of their TV's while we were eating.

I tried to get her into it but she never did, it's my own thing. I even go "look it's Dr. Shepard from your Grey's Anatomy show" when they show Patrick Dempsey Proton.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, I've never seen Patrick Dempsey on one of his acting jobs.

 

[comu]

Off to bed now as I need to be up in about 6 hours. I'll be outside and watch from my phone whenever I get the chance.
Toyota better not ruin this.

 

[Jezza819]

Alonso closes gap to under 2 minutes.

That's the Lopez factor.

 

[Michelin Man]

We have another slow-zone, down the Mulsanne between the two chicanes. What for I'm not sure at the mo.

Edit: Appears to be for the #31 Dragonspeed machine.

 

[MSZ]

Great, youtube have just removed most of the live streams, now I am forced to watch the boring on board cams.

I believe I heard the #31 car is in the gravel
