With Route 909 and E3 and now this all in the same month, I don't think my Internet quota will be able to handle streaming LeMans. :(

 

I am interested to hear the progress of Ben Collins, Mark Webber, Oli Webb, and Rene Rast if anyone is able to post about that.

[calster17]

Should be a good race, with the Po-Yo-Di battle up front! As well as as GT battles. Supporting AF Course (because of Fisichella) in the GT1, but not sure for LMP yet.

 

Me & my mates are having a 'Le-mans' party...and by that we'll be drinking & watching the live stream on my mates TV. So it'll be much like actually being at LM, only were indoors, about 1000 miles away and only paid for drink. :lol:

[The Compensator]

I'm not sure I'll be able to watch the whole race this year. :(

[Ozzmcom]

you make me proud merc nice thread :D

[CarMadMike]

Good thread Merc :)

 

I hope I'm able to see a fair bit of it.

[mau92]

I don't get it, when does the race start? (UTC if possible).

And another question, is qualifying also, a 24h run?

[Ozzmcom]

it's usually 3 pm in lemans time (france) which is I believe GMT+1

qualifying is not a 24h run but a combination of day and night qualification which consists of few laps.

[RobikV3]

Its GMT+2 actually.

 

Right now on Le mans TV theyre replaying qualifying session or practice not sure and theres like 10 people talking at the same time

[The Compensator]

Cheers guys! :hi5:

 

So, why not start the TDUCk coverage with quali results.

 

LMP1: #7 Toyota took the pole position, #14 Porsche second and again #8 Toyota third, (#20 Porsche fourth, #3 Audi 5th)

LMP2: #46 Ligier, #38 Zytek and #35 Ligier

GTE Pro: #51 Ferrari, #73 Corvette, #97 Aston

GTE Am: #81 Ferrari, #98 Aston, #95 Aston

 

Ryan: Ben Collins' #57 Ferrari is on 18th place in GTE Am; Mark Webber's #20 Porsche 4th in LMP1, Oli Webb in #36 Alpine-Nissan 5th in LMP2, Rene Rast 20th in their #24 Oreca-Nissan.

[RobikV3]

Is there gonna be a live scoreboard? by the way would be nice :)

 

Edit: I got one here if anybody wants it FIA WEC Live

 

Btw Merc the Le mans TV and the Official live stream you posted are the same from Dailymotion :D

[The Compensator]

Interestng, because yesterday they weren't showing broadcasting the same things. :hmmm:

 

I'll edit the OP.

[mau92]

Its GMT+2 actually.

Yesterday night (3am UTC) there was a replay of last years race I think.... Hence, I was confused and asked.

[RobikV3]

Yeah theres replay today too not sure what is it, right now were exactly 24H from the start of the race tomorrow :)

[RobikV3]

30 minutes to go guys! Sorry for double post just wanted to give heads up :)

[The Compensator]

:sohappy:

[RobikV3]

Im rooting for Toyota in LMP1 this year somebody has to kick out Audi already, but i would mind Porsche doing that either that would be one hell of a comeback :D

[Eudemon]

I like watching and seeing how the lower classes get on rather than the LMP's. Anyone else?

[RobikV3]

Well i dont have any favorite team i only know some of them from games or Speedhunters so im basically watching the whole field, but theres something about those LMP cars that draws me in

[The Compensator]

Same here, too, Diabs. Always nice to see Corvettes and Porsches battling, sometimes really more enjoyable than LMPs.

[RobikV3]

Zeod stopped :(

 

#73 Corvette took lead in GTE from #51 458

[Ozzmcom]

dammit, I missed the start.

[RobikV3]

Yeah they were showing first hour and then they switched to tennis and now back to LM24 :confused:

 

The race is getting quite wet though

[Ozzmcom]

oh yes it's back

[RobikV3]

Wow bad crash in P1 missed it but looks like #1 Audi and #8 Toyota is out
