Why is the Safety car still out? Don't tell me it has taken them this long to get a little tire rubber off the track?

 

[Endless-Wilso]

Atleast a 458 hasnt wrote of a LMP by now .

Plus Senna in the 99.

"And back home in Britain we hear its lovely weather, a BBQ evening."

[R5]

Least the SC never cut the corner

They restarted but a Lotus tail ended up in the middle of the Mulsanne.

 

[JSilvaGT]

Officialy still are 50 cars in competition.

EuroSport has just told that the [Danish] money gained from text messages, will be donated to Simonsen's family. That's very good style 👍!

Audi #3 in the pits...

That's indeed an achievement given the events of the past two years!

 

[RACECAR]

Some of you guys give up way too easily. I could see if it was one hour left, but its not even close and you are already giving it to Audi. Its like you guys forget this is Le Mans

 

[R5]

EuroSport has just told that all the [either Danish or Scandinavian] money gained from text messages, will be donated to Simonsen's family. That's very good style 👍!

Audi #3 in the pits...

Makes you proud to be human

It came in after clearing up the Alpine LMP2 debris. On the first lap after the restart, one of the Lotus LMP2 cars lost its entire rear bodywork. So, back out it came.

ohhh. How the hell did I miss that?

Yeah, I had that!

'Back in Britain it's lovely weather...'

(looks out of window at cloudy sky)

Erm, yeah...lovely British summer weather 👍

 

[TheEnd35000vr]

#81 Ferrari with left-rear flat.

 

[Eks]

#42 Nissan is now in 6th place. Moved up 3 places in 1 hour 👍

 

[Cano]

That 458 looks like a drag car

 

[Wardy 944]

The P2 cars really don't like cold tyres

 

[Downhill Dino]

Officialy still are 50 cars in competition.

50? I only know of the Aston. Who are the other 5?

Exactly, 458s are still circulating on the same track as them.

 

[JSilvaGT]

Poor Ferrari.

 

[Falcon787B]

It's weird...I don't dislike Audi for being reliable and the best car out there.

I'm starting to dislike Toyota for just plain not being good enough.

If you're gonna have 2 factory teams being so far ahead of everyone else, the least you can do is make those teams competitive. At least Peugeot gave Audi a good fight. Toyota are more like the Jeff Smith of Le Mans - cars far superior to everyone else bar one team and yet constantly average at best and not good enough to actually win outright.

(Might be harsh on Jeff Smith...)

 

[R5]

Yeah, I had that!

'Back in Britain it's lovely weather...'

(looks out of window at cloudy sky)

Erm, yeah...lovely British summer weather 👍

Pretty much…

Anywho, imagine the noise from the open public roads. If I was leaving work, I'll just phone the misses "I'll be about… 24 hours" and I'll stand there just listening :r

Edit: can we all remember the saying "It takes 3 years to win Le Mans"? This is their second shot.

Poor Ferrari.

Nah, if Ferrari had a real set of gonads, they compete in LMP1 or 2!

 

[Nessy]

Anybody else notice the difference in size of the air box, between the 2 Toyota's?

I don't think they're different sizes, just different colours aren't they?

 

[MLDoom]

flat tire action will definitely cause huge delays for the team. btw Dempsey's team is in 3rd for LM GTe AM.

 

[LancerEvo7]

Pretty sure there was a post about how they were different sizes.

 

[GTracer98]

That poor Ferrari!

 

[Roger the Horse]

Eurosport claim the safety car driver thinks he's Hannu Mikkola.
