Yes, this is true. I was thinking way back to the 50's in regard to open top.
I thought I heard Audi quadruple-stinted the tires in the cool of the night (could be wrong), the Peugeots may come on strong now as day breaks!

No explanation? Seems a very puzzling way to go racing...as soon as one car crashes withdraw the rest?Quote:

On the Audi R18 there is some antennas on the front... What is the long one, bended in 90 degress? It's vissible on the onboard camera view.
Thanks,
think its a weather censor
Morning everyone! Audi still out front with all the pugs chasing? Crazy :D
Number 7 pug off
Right, I've been asleep for the last 5 hours, what's happened and wheres everyone now?
Ditto Barry. Definitely a classic. Pug in front on track, but I think the Audi is on course to win
Several on-track passes for the lead over the last 5 hours. #2 Audi, #7 and #9 Peugeot were at one point separated by 5 seconds after a safety car.
Bacon butties anyone?
It's about that now!! In fact it's under 4 seconds. Albeit with the Pug about to stopQuote:

Tbh I don't think Ant has done anything wrong.
Drat... I can't see it at the moment because OneHD here has to contractually broadcast other programs.Quote:

Try myp2p.eu for streaming. I've had the same stream running almost perfectly for about 20 hours, not sure which one it is.
Re: Ant, in most cases a blue flag would've been waving for him for a lot of that. I also thought the way he chopped the Audis nose off into the first chicane was a but more aggressive than needed.
Also interesting to see that Audi have spent less overall time in the pits even though they have pitted more often.
Just remember that Ant pulled away in the end. A lapped car has the right to unlap himself if he's faster
Thanks.Quote:

Yeah going five stints also means that they now don't need a driver change. Amazing that the tyres could do that and still put in decent times, I guess that the cool temperature had a big bearing on that.
Yeah, if Audi win this which looks entirely possible, then they completely deserve it.
True, but does that give him the right to defend in the first place? Also he was about two or three seconds a lap slower until the Audi cameup behind him, then he was right on pace :SQuote:

Slower car has to stick to their line though ;) if this were f1 I would think differently
Always fantastic to se Pescarolo being interviewed :)
I expected it and don't have a huge problem, it's the job of the following car to ge through, but cutting off the nose of someone is just a bit beyond fair racing...not to mention bloody dangerous.Quote:

Easier said than done :D
Pfft, he's only 22 hours into the race, not like he'll be tired or anything
God the radio le mans people are such whiney bitches.....
Twitter is full of tards who don't like a bit of hard driving
Sorry, I just missed that bit when I rejoined the race.Quote:

You can't seriously be defending that! FFS even the Peugeot officials decided it was enough, obviously there was a radio message to say 'get out of it'. I'm all for hard racing, my stance on the Monaco incidents shows that, but not when you're laps down and just playing the team game.
If Hamilton was being lapped and pulled a move like that you'd be calling him a retard and saying it was dangerous. How is that move into the Michelin chicane any different?
