Safety car?

Edit: GT cars were going too slow

 

[Pacbois]

LOL super german duct tape engineering

 

[The Elite]

And the 8 is back out.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

What a turnaround for the #8. This is why Audi is such a force.

Fixing the barriers

 

[Anton668]

anyone else having issues with the henno.info stream? its been a slide show for awhile now.

and now its out

 

[StriKeVillain]

Haha, all that duct tape. Get back out there and race!

anyone else having issues with the henno.info stream? its been a slide show for awhile now.

and now its out

I had issues with some of their servers. I set it to Mobile 1 Lower Bitrate and now it's smooth. Was experiencing a lot of dropped frames on all other ones.

 

[Dilly]

Audi headlights during slow-motion shots is like looking into a portal.

 

[TCRS]

damn what a crash

 

[NoFaceNico]

Heh once again a Ferrari...

Nah, I'm willing to put all of this on Duval/Audi.


AUDI!!!!!!

Works better here for me

 

[Juicy Bob]

Marc Lieb just comlaining on the radio about an Audi under Safety Car?

 

[Agremont]

Thanks. Works better for me too.

IMHO the number 8 barrelled too quickly into a slowzone which too many were treating like a pitlane speed limiter.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

A slow zone is limited to 80 right?

 

[Juicy Bob]

IMHO the number 8 barrelled too quickly into a slowzone which too many were treating like a pitlane speed limiter.

But that's how it's supposed to work, isn't it? An 80km/h speed limit when you officially enter the zone until you exit it level to the green flags.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but damn, calling the #97 Aston an 'art' car is an insult to the term.

 

[StriKeVillain]

JESUS at all those bugs on the #64 Corvette. Lmao.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Duval on Radio Le Mans just said that the lights were flashing yellow to signify the start of the slow zone, but marshalls were waving green flags.

Given that drivers are told that marshalls overrule the lights, Duval didn't slow down and then ended up tripping over the traffic jam.

That would explain why he was going so quick.

 

[navanman]

Wonder how much fuel can the LMP1 cars save under the safety car.

 

[DrM]

This SC will last for quite some time, they need to remove whole section of the fence

 

[Igo]

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but damn, calling the #97 Aston an 'art' car is an insult to the term.

I think the livery is pretty amazing. Unless I really focus the car looks like it's surrounded by a motion blur filter. I love art that fucks with your perception.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Just wish this henno stream was more stable.

Or that the WEC one worked at all.

I said fuck it.

WEC stream stutters for me and I can't watch anything through IE on the xb1 so I can be in my living room. Will just wait for the race to pop up on YouTube in parts like I watched last year.

 

[Jezbollah]

Audi #7 off the track!

 

[The Elite]

Audi #7 off the track!

Is that the second time it did that?

 

[dalin80]

There really needs to be a better way of carrying out barrier repairs or segment replacements.

 

[Pacbois]

Audi #7 off the track!

That happened before the #8 crashed I think.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I think the livery is pretty amazing. Unless I really focus the car looks like it's surrounded by a motion blur filter. I love art that fucks with your perception.

It is a bit of a mindfuck, I'll give them that. Shit makes me want to adjust my set, though. In any case, any livery other than the Gulf colors the Astons have worn the last several years is a downgrade.

Another Porsche fire?


Patiently awaiting Webbah time...

 

[Pacbois]

Another Porsche GTE BBQ !

 

[Alabamaman]

Another Porsche on fire.

Drinking game time?

 

[markao]

And another Porsche on fire, something wrong with the design of the car?

 

[Zeknurn]

Oiling up those chicanes.

 

[DrM]

And another Porsche on fire, something wrong with the design of the car?

Probably their LMP1s will explode in the middle of the night

 

[nature boy]

Dissapointing all this wait to fix the barrier. Certainly won't beat the distance record.

While everyone's waiting,

Le Mans looks more fun to drive than F1 - Fernando Alonso

"The cars are quite attractive from a driver's point of view because the technology there is the top," he said. "You drive within 0.3s [per lap] for two hours and three stints. Being able to drive the same car for two hours is something we have forgotten in Formula One for the last couple of years."

Alonso visited Le Mans last year but will not be able to attend this year's race.

"I enjoyed it a lot last year. The atmosphere seems more relaxed and more open to people. The event is huge, maybe it doesn't have the repercussions of a Formula One race, but it is bigger than any one Formula One race."

 

[DrM]

I just can't imagine his complaining about traffic

 

[dalin80]

1 internet cookie to the first person who photoshops dick dastardly and mutley into one of those oil spewing porsches.

 

[dubc35]

Was that a VW truck towing the Porsche? Is that EU only?

 

[LoveCake]

Seems to have been a lot of incidents so far, much more than usual.

 

[Alabamaman]

Was that a VW truck towing the Porsche? Is that EU only?

Yeah, that's the Amarok.

 

[Dilly]

Seems to have been a lot of incidents so far, much more than usual.

Especially the LMP2's.

 

[nature boy]

I just can't imagine his complaining about traffic

Based on recent GPs, imagine Kimi.

 

[Mastah]

"Get that fucking <insert_brand> out of my way" 10 times per lap.

 

[DD]

Yeah, that's the Amarok.

Yeh, but not EU only. It's sold here in South America too.

 

[markao]

Probably their LMP1s will explode in the middle of the night

another reason to stay awake

But on a more serious note, normally those Porsche GT cars do not breakdown and this is the 3rd with the same oil/fuel leak --> fire problem.

 

[Alabamaman]

Yeh, but not EU only. It's sold here in South America too.

Strange for not being sold in USA the homeland of pickups.

 

[dubc35]

Strange for not being sold in USA the homeland of pickups.

Yeah but the small truck market has been dead for a while in the U.S.

Thanks for the reply btw

 

[nature boy]

Was it just me or did both Audis take a huge advantage at restart under yellows?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Fuck yeah, 'Vette's got the lead.

 

[Chiramii]

Man, that Corvette is flying
