Big crash for #3 audi

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

#3 Audi is in the wall.

#8 Toyota, too.

 

[Igo]

Ahh yeah, it's all getting exciting now.

LOL the camera just now found the 8.

 

[Jezbollah]

#8 Toyota was involved too!

 

[bobnowhere]

Wow, looks really heavy in the front straight now.

 

[blanky]

Bonanomi seemed to be gunning for this. Ohh, and he took out a toyota and a ferrari. Damnit.

 

[nature boy]

Yeah Audi and Toyota take out each other so can Porsche can win.

 

[TylerD]

#8 Toyota involved too. Wow.

 

[navanman]

WOW.
Rebellion can get a podium the way things are going.

 

[DrM]

#8 Toyota involved too. Wow.

Looks like Toyota rear ended that Audi

 

[Dilly]

WEBBER FOR LEMANS WIN

 

[Jezbollah]

Bonanomi seemed to be gunning for this. Ohh, and he took out a toyota and a ferrari. Damnit.

I dont think it was either the LMP1s. I think the Ferrari reacted too slowly to the two LMP1s running at a crawl.

 

[Portman]

So what happened there, did that Ferrari come into them to fast and cause it or was the accident already happening and the Ferrari just got caught up in it? What they get for not going full wet tires and trying to make it on intermediates.

 

[Elfforkusu]

It's always a fucking GT Ferrari that causes the carnage.

Looks like Toyota rear ended that Audi

A GT Ferrari plowed into them at speeds of way too fast

 

[Igo]

My stream is shitting itself at the perfect time. What caused the accident?

 

[Mastah]

 

[Dilly]

The Toyota limping to the pits.

 

[navanman]

Toyota repair the car on the track. Wow he has the car moving again

 

[Jezbollah]

Toyota #8's back under it's own power

The Audi looks quite rooted against the barriers.

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

Deja vu......

 

[Juicy Bob]

Holy shit! What chaos!

 

[Chiramii]

It's always a fucking GT Ferrari that causes the carnage.

Haha, was about to say exactly the same thing. I've seen this way too often the last years.

 

[Konosuke]

Toyota repair the car on the track. Wow he has the car moving again

Wait, I though they can't do this.

 

[navanman]

Arghh the fucking ads

 

[McNum]

Wait, I though they can't do this.

If they can make it work as is, they can. No spare parts allowed on track, though.

 

[Jezbollah]

Wait, I though they can't do this.

I think this is new so they can neutralise the hybrid electronics.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Sam Bird was doing so well as well... :-

 

[TylerD]

Le Mans already delivering on the drama.

 

[Jezbollah]

#3 is out, I think.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Down to two Audis then? (and the #1 isn't really competitive on speed thanks to the rebuild)

 

[navanman]

The Porsche caused the accident I think on the onboard replay

Let's see how good the Toyota mechanics are.

 

[Dilly]

That Toyota was going so much faster than the rest though.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Why was Audi #3 going so slow?

 

[Jezbollah]

Why was Audi #3 going so slow?

Probably on slicks.

 

[dalin80]

That Toyota was going so much faster than the rest though.

Followed by a Ferrari going way too fast, it was like bowling with a machine gun.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Looks like Lapierre's Toyota, not the GT Ferrari, was the cause of that wreck.

Replay just showed him losing the car and getting sideways before taking the other cars out.

The first link is showing tennis but the 2nd one is working thanks. It's very letterboxed though, is that normal?

 

[Dilly]

No idea how that Aston Marting got out of that unharmed.

 

[LoveCake]

The Toyota in the pits, whats the cover type thing they have put on the front of the car, is it something to check the alignment or geometry ?

 

[Jezbollah]

Oliver Javis (#3 Audi): "We were going very slow because of the conditions, but it looks like we got hit by a Ferrari going at full pace"...

 

[Elfforkusu]

Why was Audi #3 going so slow?

You know how when you're on the interstate, sometimes it's raining so hard that visibility dictates you go about 40 mph max?

That.

Rain is nature's safety car.

 

[TylerD]

Looks like Lapierre's Toyota, not the GT Ferrari, was the cause of that wreck.

Replay just showed him losing the car and getting sideways before taking the other cars out.

It looked to me like the #8 Toyota lost control and crashed and then the GT Ferrari rammed the #3 Audi from behind. Just a huge mess right there.

 

[Elfforkusu]

The Porsche caused the accident I think on the onboard replay

Let's see how good the Toyota mechanics are.

The Porsche didn't do anything (apart from sideswipe the wall).

Toyota came in too fast and wiped himself out.

Ferrari plowed into the back of the Audi.

Looked like the Toyota miraculously missed everything (except the wall)

 

[Portman]

Kinda infuriating that the Toyota causes that by barreling into them way to fast and then survives to limp back to the pits like a drunk driver surviving a crash. At least everyone's safe and Audi has 2 more cars, hopefully the rain racing will be cleaner and smarter after this incident.

 

[Juicy Bob]

From the live onboard, I was just surprised that the Corvette was quicker than the Toyota.

I wondered whether Nico was slowing for a SC or something, because he just seemed especially slow. Maybe it really was undriveable out there...

Biggest damage on the Audi was from the Ferrari rear ending it.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

They just showed it again, and you're right.

Lapierre spun and might have tagged the Audi, but the real damage was done by the Ferrari. So yeah, it's always a Ferrari; I never should have doubted them.

As noted, Toyota only screwed themselves up with that. The Audi may have gotten clipped by the initial impact (but honestly it looked like he jogged left to avoid the carnage)

Then Ferrari came in and put 3rd place overall out of the race.

You can easily change the aspect ratio of the stream on your own using VLC. Not sure if that's possible with other media players like WMP or MPC though.

Thank goodness for fox sports go! Watching on my phone while we are on a long car journey. The great thing is when they go to an ad break on the TV feed they keep the go feed on the race, so you get a few minutes of footage with no commentey.

It's ace
