Terrible news. A stark reminder these guys put themselves in danger every time they go out. RIP.

Davidson

How exactly are they going to put SAFER barriers on a public road? Seriously people.

Movable systems as the same they use already on road courses.
Correction street courses.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Ice please.. I don't want to be rude..

 

[R5]

#8 having tyre problems.


"Difficult to drive with these bloody tyres"

Oh, Anthony

 

[CarBastard]

Was it a heavy side impact?

It was very sudden and the car was going at full speed at the time of the incident. The state of the car suggests it was indeed very heavy, given that it was a side impact that even tore apart the rear bodywork. We'll have to wait for an official press release explaining the incident to draw conclusions.

Like on the Circuit du Monaco.

Another crash at the same corner - not half as bad this time!

has bad body work damage. going to need a new front bumper.

 

[Shoe67]

ICEYOU.

This is run on normal public roads. They can't just put up a safer barrier.




Also, did you guys see the wind shield cleaner on the Aston pit stop? Another brilliant performance.

 

[Prince.M5]

Rain is starting to fall down again as one of the #8 Toyota demonstrated at the first chicane...

 

[Scuderia Paul]

RIP Allan Simonsen

His tragic and surprising death has rendered the race result irrelevant. A dark cloud will remain over Le Mans regardless of how much the weather improves.

 

[CarBastard]

ICEYOU.

He better be damn motivated!!!

I heard, I want Toyota to do good.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

You'd think that F1 drivers would be prone to injuries like that more often since they have less protection. Just crazy.

Prone how? The car is built to shred apart and discharge the energy through the wreck much more effectively than a sports car would.

 

[ICEYOU]

Ice please.. I don't want to be rude..

Mac please...

I know your not trying to be rude, but I'm fairly new to this I'M sorry.

 

[GTracer98]

That Lola spin... I don't want to see a crash again.

 

[Wardy 944]

Davidson's gaining on first at a rate of 3 seconds per lap

 

[LancerEvo7]

Hopefully Aston opens a can or three of whoop-ass for Allan since they're staying in.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Safer barrier or not, they build tyre walls at the chicanes and at numerous other places at the track don't they? The fact it's public road doesn't make any difference. I'm sure they'll look at this and next year we will see more tyre walls.

 

[R5]

Davidson gaining on first at a rate of 3 seconds a lap

The tyres can't be THAT bad then

 

[Bram Turismo]

So in other words, Toyota's praying for rain if they want a shot at winning this race.

Thank you:tup:

Austin Martin built a new car in fact.

Like on the Circuit du Monaco.

Correct.

 

[Prince.M5]

Heidfeld's Rebellion has got some damage to the front left of his car. I know he spun around at the enterance of the Mulsanne straight but where he got the damage from?

 

[phillgt2002]

Yes I know, that's what I'm highlighting mainly. The F1 cars rip to shreds and the GT cars just take one big blunt impact. The GT cars seem like behemoths as opposed to F1 cars.

 

[ExplodeTheApex]

RIP Allan Simonsen such a massive shame

 

[GTracer98]

So in other words, Toyota's praying for rain if they want a shot at winning this race.

After the 1999 race... They probably want to win so bad!

 

[Tired Tyres]

Lapierre is now going faster than the Audi's on his magic no groove intermediate tyres that have been running on a mostly dry track since the tyres were put on!

 

[CarloPlaya]

Heidfeld's Rebellion has got some damage to the front left of his car. I know he spun around at the enterance of the Mulsanne straight but where he got the damage from?

I wondered about that too. We need onboard footage!

 

[SlowInFastOut]

any streams that aren't entirely in-car?
