Urgh. Third red flag, third session ended. This isn't what we want to see at Le Mans!

If you're talking about the Legends Race tomorrow, Ross? Then no it won't be televised. The support race on Saturday morning will be, although, you'll be there. :P

"@Plowey Perhaps you should volunteer to drive the ARMCO truck; it seems to be getting more track time than anything else!"

I think I am? I thought i heard something about them being on track today. Ahhh well and yeah I'm pretty confident I've found a good stream for saturday/sunday ;)
 
How's the weather been at Le Mans these past few days? We've been getting some nasty thunderstorms from France!

They were practicing/qualifying today. It was covered by Radio Le Mans. Don't you listen to that?

This track is so awesome it's even hard to explain its awesomeness ...

(/watching the onboard from Audi #1)

wet track at the Hunaudiéres. And the Audi goes off at the 2nd chicane. I bet we'll see lots of this happening, it's really hard to judge braking distances (from high speed sections) with the track like this.
 
You're right, second only to the mighty Nordschleife ;)

I wouldn't say second to the NS, because i love both with equal intensity, and that's also interesting, given how vastly different they are.

I don't want to derail this thread with offtopicness, but I do think that the few remaining circuits of old, even if reduced in size from their original full layouts (happened with all, LM and NS included) keep a sense of "uniqueness" to them.

No other compares. There's nothing comparable to the Nordschleife, there's nothing comparable to Le Mans, there's nothing comparable to Spa, the smaller of all the big tracks of old and therefore the only one still F1-able.

Wow, fast time in this session is only a 3:46. And a P2 car has 3rd fastest time ahead of two of the Audis :crazy: the rain is pretty rough I guess on the southern side of the circuit.
 
Mike Conway putting the rest of P2 to shame, just like his teammate Martin did in the last session. Bruno Senna also on another planet to the rest of GTE.
 
Yep, Nakajima did that! I guess the track is drying so times should improve still

EDIT - And Kristensen resets the score
 
Wow. Conway ahead of Ordonez by 5 seconds?! Senna leads GTE by 5 seconds from the 2nd place Porsche, some 5 seconds ahead of the 3rd place Aston!

Indeed, and Conway was 5 seconds ahead of the next best LMP2 for pretty much the entire session, not just a quick flash because of the changing conditions. Senna also had his gap for a while, though the #92 just closed in to just over a second off.
