Are those Audi's smoking quite nicely in the dark? Or is it just me?

 

[-Fred-]

Jarvis was not too happy about that block...

 

[Downhill Dino]

What time would the hour of sunrise be for East coast US?

I don't think I'll be staying up through the night, so I want to at least catch the time when they generally set the fastest laps.

I think it's around 2 AM.

I thought I saw smoke too but I think it's just the exhaust emissions being picked up by the lights rather than a beacon of hope.

 

[adam46]

Wait, is that same car that was nearly blowing up in the pits a few hours back?

Indeed it was... Pushing their luck continuing with a car that seems to want a career as a kettle.

3 or 4 hours from now imo (could be wrong)

No, is it no just you.

 

[daracer]

wow, amazing to see the audis fly around the track

Cold shower = Check
Strong black coffee = Check

Hopefully i haven't missed much.

 

[ND4SPD]

Heh, didn't the Toyota teams talk about the Audi's black smoke at night a while back? Since you know, it's sorta not supposed to do that under the regs?

Doing some exercise (push-ups) usually help

Explain please

 

[Nessy]

Man, i love that number 92 Porsche RSR.

[EDIT] @ comu, Good suggestion. 👍

#70 coming back out.

Those energy retrieving sound from the Audi made me go to sleep. Had a 10 min or so power nap.

Why do we need to see pictures of cars sitting in gravel traps and cars being refuelled? We have the live streams for that, and commentators, we don't need a running commentary of pictures in here too.

It wasn't meant to be. Seriously, it's borderline spam just looking at the time intervals between each picture.

6:23PM
6:25PM
6:30PM
6:32PM
6:35PM
6:41PM
6:46PM

And that's not including all the posts about tweets & what not, all info we are all watching ourselves.

Nothing wrong with posting pics. Just try to leave a blurb about something or why you posted each one instead of just having a slew of images.

Keep misreading Paul Dalla Lana for Paul Dalai Lama. Time to get some sleep.

The Lola Rebellions are doing 4-stints on tyres as we go in to the second half of the race. #LM24

^Is that considered a long stint? I rarely hear of more than triple stinting.

@Omnis, thanks 👍

That's hardly an indicator of you being tired, it can happen to anyone

 

[Azure Flare]

4 stints on tires is a pretty long stint.

A friend of mine once referred to Darren Law as "Darren Law De Da."

 

[comu]

Hopefully I'll be back in 5-6 hours

Cmon Toyota

Explain please

Here's the article where the Toyota team mentions it.

The particulate filter is supposed to filter all of that out as per regulations but it seems like at night the Audi's seem to smoke quite heavily. A bit of trickery somewhere?

 

[Furinkazen]

Also from twitter..

RT @sommerglaede Denmark remembered #RIPAllanSimonsen with a minute of silence at midnight. @radiolemans

And why we love Le Mans. Beautiful.

 

[daracer]

Half Time!!!!

 

[Azure Flare]

With half the race gone, there's still half the race to go!

 

[Tired Tyres]

Yes and it's a disqualification rule infringement as well. Not that anything will be done though. It happens every year and they get away with it every year.

 

[Nessy]

Halfway!

beat me to it

 

[Cano]

hahahaha, pintoresque!!! Camel head was my favorite

You serious?


Hopefully I can manage until sunrise before I fall asleep.

Was the guy holding an olive oil bottle?
