Le Mans

[Mr Revhead]

Right, the 2nd toughest 24hr race in the world is on this weekend!
Looks like Audi and Peugeot are set for a hard fight, they are quite close in speed and both teams are expecting to be fighting hard all the way.....
So will get pretty interesting!

[Mr. Mainstream]

looking forward to sitting down and watching this, all sorts of new rules this year too.
Audi North America should hold out
always great watching those Corvette C6.R battle with 997's and M3 GT's

[.:O4AGTZ:.]

I never normally watch this but would definately be keen to! When is it on? What channel etc?

[Mr Revhead]

Won't be on here, maybe highlights in a month or so.
Will be plenty of live streams, I'll post some come race day
Also radio Le Mans will have audio commentary

[Mr Ree]

I will be on the hunt for streams too, although I suspect I wont watch it for the full 24 hours hehe.

A great race, and one that is definitely on the list of places to go before I depart this mortal coil.

C'mon Toyota/Lexus get your Sh*T together and get the LFA in there to mix it up with Ferrari Porsche Aston Martin and Chev.

I couldnt agree more mate.

The thought of an LFA fitted with a Le Mans body kit is tantalising indeed. The eerie V10 howl down the Mulsanne straight(s) would be amazing.

2 huge crashes for Audis so far. Both involving slower cars
Audi in the lead!

McNish, OUCH:

Reported to be ok, although taken to hospital. See the Audi bosses reaction when he gets out of the car, I think he expected a busted up driver

Rockenfeller crash has just happened so not much on youtube yet. But it was nasty, a Ferrari moved over on him in the kink on the run to Indianapolis.
Safety car expected to be out for around an hour due to the armco damage! Just had to swap safety cars as the first one is running out of fuel it's done so many laps


The LMP1 drivers have been complaining about some of the slower cars and the restricters they now run. It's cut the top speed of LMP1 so the straight line speed between LMP1 and the GT cars is closer making it harder to pas son the straights.

Big crash for Mcnish

[eskimo]

Jesus that was a crash, lucky escape for the camera guys & marshals.

[Mr Revhead]

Been A few others too. Aston driver with cracked ribs.

Been some wicked dicing at the top! Including Kristenson diving off the track to pass a vette and pug at the same time

[Mr Revhead]

2hrs 45mins to go, not as close, only 1 pug on the same lap as the Audi.
And it's starting to rain....

[Bling]

Sick of that Lemsip box....

Not long to go now then!

[Mr Revhead]

Yeah... I haven't had it in a while though
Some nasty tatics by the lapped pugs! purposely swerving in front of the Audi

[Mr Revhead]

Now that was a close race!
Audi by 13 secs, had been down to 7 secs at one point! Rain in the last hour too!

C'mon Toyota/Lexus get your Sh*T together and get the LFA in there to mix it up with Ferrari Porsche Aston Martin and Chev.
