90th Anniversary Running Of The Le Mans 24 Hours, 22-23 June 2013.

[Panoz]

Watching this for livetiming, but some stuff seems to be conflicting with what I hear on RLM?

Is it true that top 3 in GTEPro are separated by less than a tenth?

Yes it is.
91 Porsche 4:00.323
51 Ferrari 4:00.326
97 Aston 4:00.392

 

[Dean]

#39 DKR just had a spin, but no crash.

 

[Furinkazen]

DKR car which has just spun off.

 

[Wardy 944]

Krohn car nearly done 👍

 

[Furinkazen]

 

[gogatrs]

Yes it is.
91 Porsche 4:00.323
51 Ferrari 4:00.326
97 Aston 4:00.392

And they're all on track now, too.

Will this have any effect on the results if they don't reach the times they set in Q1?

 

[Dean]

Audi #3's now down to 3:24.776.

 

[Furinkazen]

Inters clearly visible on this car:

 

[Panoz]

97 Aston put down a 3:59.398

 

[Wardy 944]

RED FLAG again

 

[gogatrs]

More red flags.

 

[Dean]

Red flag again? Man, it's annoying, now. #21 in contact with another car in the chicane.

 

[Furinkazen]

Strakka have crashed. Dumbreck quickest in GTE, 3:59.

 

[Sertsa]

Well, I just learned the French phrase, "drapeau rouge."

 

[R0ssingt0n]

This is getting ridiculous. If there's a red flag during the race I'm going to be grumpy.

 

[Yukon]

Strakka have hit the 2nd Chicane. How long a repair job is that? Plus the rocks on the track. Plus the barriers.
Sigh.

 

[Wardy 944]

Strakka have crashed. Dumbreck quickest in GTE, 3:59.

Manthey are faster in the wet, whats the weather forecast again?

 

[Furinkazen]

 

[Dean]

"Johnny Kane (#21) is okay".

 

[Sertsa]

Just looked up Strakka's twiiter:

JK's gone off at the second chicane on Mulsanne. He's OK. Debris on track brings out another Red Flag. Sorry everyone!

 

[Tired Tyres]

As pointed out on Radio Le Mans, if drivers don't slow down for yellows then you start showing red flags instead.

 

[Bram Turismo]

These guys are so pumped to go out and race after each red flag that they just instantly crash!

 

[Yukon]

I'm guessing that all the drivers which are still to complete the mandatory laps, if this session isn't restarted, or, even if it is, will still be able to take part in the race itself because of the circumstances that stopped them doing their laps?

 

[Furinkazen]

Strakka hit a damp patch unless I misheard Leventis interview.

 

[Wardy 944]

I'm guessing that all the drivers which are still to complete the mandatory laps, if this session isn't restarted, or, even if it is, will still be able to take part in the race itself because of the circumstances that stopped them doing their laps?

Yes, they've pretty much just said that on Radiolemans 👍

 

[Furinkazen]

Language warning "I feel like a d***"

 

[Dean]

Race director will open the track again, in a short time.

Green flag.

 

[Wardy 944]

It looks great with the black roof.

 

[Furinkazen]

 

[Yukon]

Thanks Wardy. 👍

Ha, yeah, Stuart Hall's a funny guy. Hopefully he actually gets some race time this year.
