Just started watching the official stream, SC already

Biggest bummer is that the #3 Audi couldn't get back to the pits though.

Definitely. Bonanomi looked devastated, and rightfully so; they were running so well, and got taken out through no fault of their own.

The one car in that accident that seemed to do nothing wrong and got hit by a flying bird out of nowhere, that's Le Mans though and 22 hours left.


And raining again

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.

Thanks, didn't occur to get VLC, works great.

 

[navanman]

Looks like suspension damage for the Toyota 8

 

[Juicy Bob]

Good effort by the Dempsey car to be leading the GTAMs

 

[Konosuke]

Is Webber the strongest driver on the Porsche 20?

 

[Mastah]

So that's why tyre barriers in first chicane were moved from their original place:

[Spaceman Spiff]

Is Webber the strongest driver on the Porsche 20?

I'd say Bernhard is. Longtime Porsche factory driver with loads of LMP experience, and a fairly recent (2010) winner of the LM24.

 

[Seanspeed]

Is Webber the strongest driver on the Porsche 20?

On paper, maybe. Bernhard is clearly the most experienced endurance racer of the three, though.

What makes a great F1 driver isn't always what makes a great sports car driver, even if raw talent does mean a lot.

 

[DrM]

Very heavy rain inbound!

Is Webber the strongest driver on the Porsche 20?

His hybrid system will surely fail during his stint

 

[Seanspeed]

His hybrid system will surely fail during his stint

That would be sadly hilarious.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Holy shit, it's pissing down on the Mulsanne.

 

[navanman]

Crazy rain again..

 

[Juicy Bob]

Jesus. The rain is instantaneous at Le Mans

 

[Konosuke]

He already has the Aussie luck™, don't jinx him any further lol.

[navanman]

Can Toyota 7 make it back without aquaplaning

 

[Jezbollah]

41, 42 and 48 off due to the rain.

 

[dalin80]

No! my feed!

 

[navanman]

Toyota 8 coming back out of the pits.

 

[Rekwest]

Rain will stop in 10 minutes.

 

[Elfforkusu]

No! my feed!

:lol

The moment I open up a second dailymotion stream everything goes to shit. I want multiple onboards, damnit! Is that too much to ask for?

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

Is safety car period over?

I don't know what's more annoying: hour long safety car periods or constant commercial breaks in fox sports 1.

 

[dalin80]

Nope, track is still to damp and scary for the poor drivers.

Switch to fox sports go, they don't go to break

Edit: that Porsche welcome back video by Audi was very cool

 

[Mastah]

We go green! Should be fun in these conditions.

 

[Elfforkusu]

:lol, didn't realize they're now calling it "Scotch corner" thanks to Mcnish's accident a few years back.

(assuming I heard that right)

 

[vitacola]

Is there a replay of the Audi #3 vs. Toyota vs. Ferrari crash on YouTube already? Missed it because of shopping

 

[cmr-94]

Getting annoyed with the eurosport commentators. Seems to me they make a lot of mistakes or just dont notice things very quickly

[Juicy Bob]

What's up with the Dempsey car?

 

[vitacola]

Thank you very much

 

[dalin80]

What's up with the Dempsey car?

Trying to get round a damp track on dry tyres.

 

[chrislowe]

What makes a great F1 driver isn't always what makes a great sports car driver, even if raw talent does mean a lot.

But didnt webber race in lemans before he got an f1 contract? I thought he was the guy doing a flip in the air into the forest in lemans many years ago.
And many not so great f1 drivers did awesome in f1 like mcnish.

 

[navanman]

Toyota seems to have picked up some good speed as the track dries out.
Over 2 seconds a lap quicker than the Porsche and Audi.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Fuck my shitty internet connection

 

[dalin80]

Track conditions have changed immensely and the advantaged has passed among the 3 at various points. In the cool I expect to see Toyota having the speed throughout the night.

Wait till nighttime when fatigue and alcohol kick in

 

[dalin80]

A Ferrari having a thermal incident?

 

[kiyomi]

The sun going down while the race continues to go on in Le Mans is maybe one of my favourite moments on the motorsport calendar.

Plus I get to support Alex Wurz, a man I love after he compared Vettel vs. Webber to Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader.

 

[nature boy]

Porsche looking good.

 

[dalin80]

Great Aston/Porsche rumble.

 

[dalin80]

'intra...intraczs...intracutat.... complicated stuff'

The evening taking it's toll on some already.

 

[Dilly]

Well timed advert break again.

 

[DrM]

Meanwhile, some goddamn hilarious stuff i stumbled upon Youtube, aka rich boy goes on endurance race

 

[Deadman]

I had no idea fabien barthez was a racing driver now

 

[dalin80]

The 458 is clearly the choice of the talent limited.

 

[Dilly]

I find it amazing how one engine in these LMP1's lasts an equivalent of 12 Formula 1 races.
