German commentary just reported that Simonsens telemetry showed a 75G impact, around the same Kubica suffered in Montreal.

 

[Addnan]

Driving in the dark still amazes me everytime. Stupid F1 night races are basically day races.

 

[DrM]

How bright are LMP1 lights, simply stunning.

 

[TCRS]

this looks fucking great. I'd be scared shitless driving in that darkness.

Since Audi has been running the LEDs they are suns in the night.

 

[Hackbert]

mh. Audi #3 in the box. Toyotas cards keep getting better

 

[vitacola]

Aw, fuck that.

#3 is back on track.

EDIT:
I missed the reason why the SC got on track. What happened?

 

[Alabamaman]

Oreca #25 went out of the track at Porsche curves.

 

[Elfforkusu]

#2 Audi
+1 lap - #8 Toyota
+1 lap - #7 Toyota
+2 laps - #3 Audi

This could be good stuff...

Thanks for the update.

lol, the trouble around Dempsey

keeping in the back of ones mind, that the toyota can stay 2 rounds longer out in one stint...

 

[Tempy]

Too many cameramen and photographers around the Dempsey pits.....

SAFER barriers for every wall everywhere

 

[Dibbz]

lol, Eurosport commentators getting pissed at drivers spinning. It is a bit fucking daft considering this is all under safety car.

EDIT:- lol this guy is hillarious. Taking the piss out of the safety car drivers now.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Yeah, they can't match the pace of the Audis, (particularly in the dry), but Toyota's edge in fuel economy could make things interesting in the closing hours.

This could play out similar to the 2011 LM24, when Peugeot could go a lap farther per tankful, although they were more evenly matched with the Audis in terms of speed.

 

[Deadman]

I like it at night when the trackside cameras dont work anymore so you just get onboard shots and a little from the pit straight.

Yup feels so cosy when they show on board or a car tearing through the French countryside at night.

I love watching the Corvette cam at night - http://stream.speedtv.com/corvette

No commentary, pure engine.

yup sounds great. but performance wise, it´s not the corvettes year it seems. And lol, my stream host kept switching to fox and speed tv.. noooo . thankfully back to eurosport HD

..what. Dempsey´s Team is class leader? wow. Porsche Power ^^

 

[Dead Man]

Jesus. RIP. Not what I expected when I got up.

Check that, it's a stupider reason:

That is an utterly stupid reason. I love me some environmental protection, but the Sierra CLub is such a ship of fools.

Kaz needs to sit down and listen to these cars.

 

[Jezbollah]

The footage from the HD cameras onboard the Audis at night is just fucking amazing.

 

[Shaneus]

Thanks for the update.

lol, the trouble around Dempsey

What did he do? Or not do?

Where do I find that?

Edit: Nooo, 8Star I don't know if that means they're out or whatever, but damn that sucks for Bright

 

[vitacola]

What did he do? Or not do?

There were a bunch of photographers and cameramen around his team's box and annoyed the hell out of the mechanics and drivers. They had to push them away because they interfered with the work on the car and drivers change. Was quite funny to watch, but nothing spectacular.

Ah, I'm glad to hear that... I thought it might've been regarding his driving or something. I'm quite glad that not only is he increasing publicity for the event, but he's actually a really fucking good driver, too. No Lenoing that shit.

[Dead Man]

Is there a stream without commentary?

 

[TCRS]

oh shit! that looked bad.

 

[Deadman]

Looks pretty serious, havent seen the driver get out yet

e: now he has, must have just been waiting for the medical car to arrive

 

[TCRS]

He's out, he's walking. Fucking hell the whole rear is gone.

 

[Dead Man]

That is torn up. Good to see the structure doing its job.

 

[Dibbz]

Man the car is in half fuck.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

#30 Lola-Judd got ripped clean in half, holy shit.

 

[Tempy]

Well, that was a pretty hard crash with the car separating in two and a bit of fire and smoke. Good to see the driver walking away though.

 

[Dead Man]

Seriously, any feeds without commentary, these two on the official feed at the moment are terrible.

What? You don't like talking about the leg flexibilty of the Audi pitcrew? lol

 

[Dead Man]

What? You don't like talking about the leg flexibilty of the Audi pitcrew? lol

LOL, I prefer to admire it with the natural sounds

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I'm not sure who got picked up by which safety car, but is Davidson now on the lead lap?

Edit: Probably not since he just came into the pits .

 

[fuenf]

I couldnt follow the race anymore because I was at a birthday party, damn shame about the alternator defect on Audi #1 that was my favorite car /crew

wow those Audi onboards at night are incredible.

 

[Shaneus]

oh shit! that looked bad.

Was that the second yellow flag?



PS. Did I see a brief cutaway of a bearded Webber?!?
Are there any streams I might be able to timeshift backwards on? I'm sure it was him looking on. This is on the Eurosport stream at around the 12hr point.

 

[Dibbz]

The headlights on these cars are bonkers. Can't even imagine what it's like looking in your mirror. The whole interior is probably lit up. Must be scary for guys in the GT categories having these LMP's blinding you whilst flying past at 200mph.

 

[Dibbz]

Really starting to rain now and safety car is going in. Strap the fuck in guys

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

The rain is really coming down in places now, which could help equalize the performance between Audi and Toyota like we saw in the opening hour.

 

[Elfforkusu]

On the other hand, SAFETY CAR!!!!

 

[TylerD]

Surely going to be another safety car soon due to a rain caused off.

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

Surely going to be another safety car soon due to a rain caused off.

I was thinking the same thing. Cars are already struggling driving at night in dry conditions, but add rain into the mix and someone's bound to crash and bring out another long yellow flag/safety car session.

 

[Elfforkusu]

#8 Toyota is on the war path. Go go go

 

[Elfforkusu]

haha, eurosport commentators killing their director for cutting away from an ontrack battle for a random pit stop.

lol yeah TV director is a huge troll.

It was so much worse when Peugeot was competing. The French seemed to like following the French manufacturer's cars for some reason.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

The TS030 seems to be a match for the R18, and then some, in the wet. Toyota's chances should only improve the longer it stays damp out there.
