The Le Mans General Discussion Thread

A porsche went into the gravel and needed to be towed out, its out now they're just cleaning the track up.

Edit: Numbers 60 and 02 ferraris off, 02 car seems to be ok but the 60 looks a bit worse!

As in "You've got wheel damage" or Car Contact (0x)? :sly:

Thats something you really don't want to happen. Must have been a crazy moment! What were you driving?

Lol! Yeah!

My former ITA Civic(sold now), at the momen't I thought a camber plate had failed, I took a bit of curb and heard a loud clunk and the steering wheel went crooked so I just brushed the outside wall trying not to upset the car too much.
This was a Saturday practice session, so I came in we checked everything and couldn't find anything wrong with the suspension anywhere. Out came the floor jack's handle and the hammers we pulled the fender out, pulled the rear quarter and I wen't out again and finished the weekend. Here's a video of Sunday on that weekend(the car was still a TTF car in this video):


Video was taken from a friend's ITA/TTE CRX wich was a class above me at the moment. I'm in the black Civic. This is an exhibition race we used to do after our TT events for the instructors and advanced drivers. You can see the wall I had an encounter with on driver's left coming into the main straight before the flag stand.
 
He was fading right... not sure if just coming off the curbs but he looks like he could have stayed over a bit longer. But Gunnar also could have stayed to the right a bit more.

Seriously guys, if you watch the first video that was posted of the incident by Nissan, there was AT LEAST 4 feet between the two cars before the Porsche started moving over to the right. Gunnar gave him PLENTY of room, IMO. Shouldn't even be arguing over if there was enough room given by the DW, it's plain as day. :confused:
 
didnt know they did circuit at el tuque too

Oh yeah! The track's owner is a Road Racing nut! He races Trans Am here in the US, the drag strip was just included to keep the project alive and generate income, there's also a pretty sweet kart track on the infield, a hotel and a water park that are part of the park. It's a pretty sweet complex!
 
Even better! All we need is another yellow and it'll be a fight to the end!

Woohoo! Muscle Milk 2012 ALMS Champions!!!!

The BMW shot themselves in the foot, looks like the Ferrari might do the same if they try to conserve fuel. No wonder the Corvette wins so often in ALMS.
 
Audio out on ESPN3 or is it just me?
Nevermind, just came back after 10 minutes or so.

Sounds like the Lizard is on the attack!
Gap has been closing...

And now a penalty for Conquest Endurance!
