I bet that there's a couple of thousands worth of euros in bits of carbon fibre scattered around the circuit.

 

[Savolainen83]

quick fix though

 

[Furinkazen]

They're not worth much of anything anymore
Just a souvenier

bad BMW parking.

Really wreckless how it started driving back, right as a car was passing it.

 

[Savolainen83]

All righty then, hour and a half to go. Time to break out the icecream.

One does not simply......
Underestimate the mighty Flugplatz.

I didn't think that you were aloud to move a car if it was being fueled at the time.

 

[cally-dave]

THE WHOLE OF THE INTERNET would bang.

Edited for the truth

 

[Fender_st]

car was close to pits, and no other damage but puncture; they didn't loose so much time because of that.

 

[Tommi]

RACECAR would bang.

Julie Dovetta 👍 👍


Anybody else lost the official stream?

Can even see the fuel pump nearly fully stretched out.

She sort of looks like my ex-wife, except she's a lot better looking and doesn't mind spending time in a garage.

5 cars under the 2 laps. One mistake and it would cost you.

3 1/2 Hours to the Goal

At noon on Sunday, there was 4 hours left in the race. But a radio call came in from Kazunori saying that there is an abnormal noise coming from the left front tire. The car was driven carefully for a while, and brought in at 12:27PM. Fortunately the cause of the noise was determined to be nothing more than a large piece of tire debris. However at the same time a nut on the rear left tire was cross-threaded and would not come off. The nut was grinded off and replaced with a new part, but they lost 6 and a half minutes in doing so. The driver changed from Kazunori to Tobias, and with 3 and a half hours to go, they are being very careful not to overstress the car.

Man that's a close call right there for the Vette. I wonder why that yellow BMW was driving like that, backwards when other cars are coming. He should get a penality.


Edit: That was a good move from Kaz when he brought the #123 GTR back to the pits. Those debris from the tire could do some serious damage.

What happened to the Falken Porsche in this race? I didn't see anything happen to it before I left the race behind...

I think that given his performance, in a couple of seasons we will see Jann Mardenborough doing the full 24hrs here.

 

[FelipeMartins]
