Oh God I still remember that one... But at least this one happened in the pit and not in the middle of the track. Haha!

 

[Tornado]

Much less, look at the Toyotas or Audis. Or Gulf Astons.

It's not any different than when Ferrari stripped all of the sponsors from their cars but then painted all of them like Marlboro cartons.

 

[ICEYOU]

Are you trolling? Because it reads a lot like it.

I meant Indy sorry. I get those two mixed up all the time?

 

[Northstar]

So are the Daytona prototypes going to go neck and neck with the LMP's in next year's 24 hour race? With the USCR?

They might be able to give GTE-AM a battle, they aren't close to either LMP class.

 

[Shoe67]

Windscreen washer going to work ^^

 

[Wardy 944]

Anyone think Audi have this race done?

Nope, not until the chequered flag

 

[Müle]

SPEED's commentators go, "and the best part is it doesn't hurt when you crash on Xbox," before having a laugh.

Extremely poor taste after what happened to Simonsen.

Speed clearly doesn't care, and/or Fox doesn't want to lose viewers by mentioning it constantly.

They came back from a commercial, did a short blurb about it over half an hour after the announcement, went straight back to commercial and haven't mentioned it since.

 

[ICEYOU]

Glad to see that their are sooo many people on this thread cheering on Corvette Racing!

 

[Cano]

AAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHH I overslept.

I haate when this happen.

What did I miss?

As far as we know now, DP's won't be running at Le Mans, and the USCR won't have much of a connection to the WEC.

Who is doing the speed comments?

The saddest moment of Le Mans in years...

 

[R5]

The two Astons overtaking Kobayashi.


Classic!

 

[Rage Racer]

I suppose the track will be rebuilt in the section where Simonsen crashed so bad.
This is shocking, I thought motorsport is safe these days... but no. Not completely. Race drivers still actually risk their lives.

I'm a Ford guy, but I'm only routing for the C6.Rs because there aren't any Fords and I hate Ferrari.

That's what I'm kinda reading. What happened?

 

[Müle]

As far as we know now, DP's won't be running at Le Mans, and the USCR won't have much of a connection to the WEC.

Jim France waved the Tricolour to start the race. Clearly they have a connection.

What you didn't want to see.

 

[ICEYOU]

So who's dominating each individual class right now?

 

[Furinkazen]

#53 Ciper off. AMR lead change. GO AMR.

 

[Shoe67]

So who's dominating each individual class right now?

Audi in LMP1. The rest are reasonably close.

 

[CarBastard]

That's what I'm kinda reading. What happened?

Minute 15 or so, Allan Simonsen driving GT-AM car #95 spun out at Tertre Rouge and crashed against the armco. The impact looked bad but not fatal, yet it turned out to be the latest. He was announced dead an hour or so ago.

Toyota has good fuel consumption, Audi has awesome pace. Track not fully wet nor fully dry. Audi on the lead.

To be fair I don't think they intended it to be negative..

 

[R5]

Ductape used to fix the Viper.


I can't stop chuckling.

In that case, I stand corrected.

 

[Eks]

Drivers switching in the #42 Nissan.

 

[CarBastard]

Change of lead in GT Pro, Makowiecki now in the lead. Aston 1-2 and Manthey Porsche 3rd.

#53, the ductaped Viper, is in the gravel.

 

[diptob79]

sorry if this had been asked before.
Anybody know what s the meaning of three circle lights beside LMP1 car numbers?

thanks

 

[Falcon787B]

Great shot just now, the lead Aston Martin GTE-Pros lapping Kobayashi!
