Thanks and holy crap lol. Nice one.

Why arent the Redbull commentator watching sector time on live timing ?

God this tv coverage sucks.

 

[Accro2008]

Crash for dumas in the first part.

 

[DogZy]

Gizz us please!


Hahahaha, Loeb makes it look so easy. Really, thats like comparing F1 car to Seb (again Seb) Vettel X1 prototype in GT5. Marvellous job, cant wait to see him in WTCC and other racing series!

Is Romain Dumas alright or he needs medical help? (cant watch livestream)

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

This isn't coverage this is just telling obvious stuff. "he's driving right now...*crickets*"

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

Is Romain Dumas alright or he needs medical help? (cant watch livestream)

They dont even mention it, info are coming from people following at autosport.

If anyone have Millen time it would be cool. Livetiming.net isnt responding atm.

Nvm 9.02.192, didnt broke the 9 minutes wall.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

You have to wait RX7, they are too delayed

 

[Accro2008]

Dumas is ok from what I heard.

9:02 for Millen.

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

You have to wait RX7, they are too delayed

He did 9.02 something. Loeb destroyed everyone. Was obvious after the qualification but still.

Dayraut did 9.42

Lol and now they are saying that this retransmission is good... Wake up guys.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Millen almost got into the 8 minute mark he probably will get it next year. So Loeb got an 8:36?

[Accro2008]

There is two run ?

Can Loeb do better than 8:13 ?

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

8:13 is massive, I think if he comes back he could get it close to the 7 minute mark.

EDIT:

Is there two runs? I haven't watched this since the late 90s early 00s when I was a kid. If there is, I think he will get quite close to the 8 minute flat mark.

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

There is two run ?

Can Loeb do better than 8:13 ?

Probably, he was a bit slower than qualification before the 2nd split if I aint mistaken.

He have done : 3:26.153 in quali.
and during the 8:13:748 he has done : 1:28.448 + 1:59.765 = 3:28.213

he can probably get under 8:10 Not sure about the 8 minute wall.

I dunno if there's 2 run but on the timing screen it's says 1/2. So probably 2 runs.

 

[Accro2008]

Some electric problem on the norma of Dumas.

Sorry for my bad english*

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

Snow on the top while interviewing Loeb. Probably wont be a better time.

 

[Accro2008]

They can't even spell sebastien right ...

 

[R5]

They can't even spell sebastien right ...

Wow... That's bad

But why are we surprised that he broke the record? The mans a wizard!

 

[Sertsa]

Those times are insane. It's like they need to be hypnotized to not fully believe they're that close to a cliff while pushing that hard.

As for the broadcast, I think there was a bet somewhere to see if something ridiculously awesome could be broadcast in a way which makes it look dull. Why else would the sounds of engines in full fury climbing a mountain be replaced with a couple of guys talking about clouds?

 

[marxlien]

Loeb is from another world.

 

[Accro2008]

Off topic

 

[marxlien]

hahaha hilarous.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Looks like Tajima did a 9:46 in his electric car

 

[Furinkazen]

How did the Toyota do?

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

How did the Toyota do?

10:24.301s according to twitter, 16th overall and 4th in electric, slower than both of the Mitsubishi's iMiev's.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Tajima doing his thing as usual. I went 4 years in a row, but I haven't gone the past two years. It was awesome to be there when Tajima broke the 10 minute barrier when the course was still partially dirt.

Loeb, well, that's just what Loeb does. Probably the best driver on earth, all motorsports considered. 8:13 is massive.

 

[Wilbur]

I don't think anyone had any doubt he would hold the new record but to crush it that much honestly is pretty huge in general. It took them awhile to get to where they are now and like they had issues below 10 minutes.
