24h Lemans

[superhyper]

The pity here is the faith of the Toyota, not the Deltawing :cheeky:

[Ozzmcom]

still it was good to see deltawing, a nice change out there. Lemans after is all about prototypes.

[TDUFREAK500]

Damn shame to see the deltawing out, that was an awesome car

[superhyper]

Yeah, I know it's cool when someone tries something new etc but the thing just hurt my eyes :p

[Ozzmcom]

looks like it'll be a steady night , audis not taking much risk out there with all the competition is off.

[pascallll]

Haha, Corvette #74 has lost it's left rear wheel :lol:

 

Edit: The Mechanic didn't turn the wheel nut properly.

[Ozzmcom]

damn corvette is out , lets hope it comes back.

looks like #74 is out but #73 span out If I can see it right.

[pascallll]

#74 is back now.

 

AF Corse is 1st in GTPro, even though the car was totalled a few days ago :)

[TIMELESS]

How did Toyota even repair the #8? That thing was ruined!

 

I was kinda hoping that Toyota would be in the top 3 (instead of audi) but it's not looking likely now... 30 and 80 laps behind... lol

[pascallll]

The #8 isn't repaired.

The one that's driving is the #7, which had a little accident too :p

 

Edit: #7 is inside the pits again :fp:

Edit 2: Toyota is now completely out of the race. The #7 Car is retired

[TIMELESS]

Oh really, I thought it was strange lol :p

 

#7 didn't look that bad, I'm surprised it took that long to get it out (and push it back in and get it out again :lol:)

"Toyota #7 repairs appear to be abandoned." :cry:

[pascallll]

The #7 car had some problems with the alternator. Then they took it out for a quick stint, and decided the problems were too big to fix.

 

Really a shame to see, because they were doing really well a few hours ago. They had 2nd and 3rd place :(

[TIMELESS]

Well that sucks.

 

I'm going to have to cheer on the lola-toyota cars now.. and I don't see them beating audi..

[pascallll]

Do you mean Rebellion Racing? They're really the best of the rest now. I hope they won't be overtaken by Audi #3 :D

[TIMELESS]

Yup. You're right, but atm they're just not fast enough to keep up with the Audi's. :/

[pascallll]

A bit sad, but:

#74 'vette had a little touche with the wall, and Rebellion Racing driver Jeroen Bleekemolen thinks that Audi #3 will overtake them :(

This actually doesn't sound good:

Anthony Davidson ‏@antdavidson

 

Well that was a big one! Lying in a French hospital with a broken back wasn't what I had in mind at this stage in the race...

[TIMELESS]

:eek: Oh dear.

[pascallll]

^I thought the same when I read it.

 

#13 Rebellion is now just 2 minutes in front of the #3 Audi...

 

---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 AM ----------

 

The #3 Audi has spun out!

 

Car is now driving again. But it has cost him some valuable time :)

[TIMELESS]

Haha perfect :lol:

[Ozzmcom]

seeing few offs now, drivers are definitely tired.

I was hoping for #3 to get in the top 5 after that blow earlier.

 

---------- Post added at 00:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 00:58 AM ----------

 

corvettes are having too much trouble at these hours.

[pascallll]

Halfway there. Am I the only one getting tired? :cheeky:

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Audi #1 just had a bit of an encounter with a tall ripple strip LOL It looked like he caught a little bit of air, but I doubt it

#74 Vette is going back out :)

This was just posted by Oliver Gavin (driver of Corvette #74) on Twitter:

 

This is not our day... After all the incidents, we now have a drivetrain/high speed oscillation... Changing all of drivetrain now...

[Ryzza5]

Anyone watching the V8 Supercars later today at Darwin?

 

:leaves:

[pascallll]

Nooo, just noticed the #3 Audi has overtaken the #13 Rebellion :cry:

[Ozzmcom]

Nooo, just noticed the #3 Audi has overtaken the #13 Rebellion :cry:

 

it was inevitable , have to say quite a heroic effort from the team. That car was a wreck and down to 22nd position lets remember.

 

by the way with the temperature going up we can expect lots of spin outs.

 

#1 e-tron could need a new back panel meanwhile after that slight bump.
