Tired Tyres
Nick Tandy has just screwed up. He's stayed out with nowhere near enough time to get to the pit inside the 65 minute limit. His stop/go doesn't count.

Edit. Safety car extends stint to 70 minutes.

Didn't he do the same at the first ELMS race of the year in the Proton Porsche and get away with it because of the safety car?
 
Commentary made mentions about the Lumirank position lights. Pretty genius stuff. I know there are a few racing series that use some sort of on-car position indicators, but they have been absent in the races where we could REALLY use them (Le Mans, Nurburging 24, etc.). It's 100x better than live timing in my opinion. Why it hasn't been adopted by more series is beyond me.
 
Ordonez / Mardenbrough 6th in there class.
 
Does anybody happen to know if the Blanpain Site will actually show all 24 Hours? Curious... It's a really good quality picture - with commentary too!

Yeah i think they will, im guessing the cameras will get locked in position at some point though.
 
An entirely dry race? Yeah right...

EDIT: The sound of the BMW. :drool:

Only found that this was on by chance.
It's 3am down here. :scared:
 
Max Buhk flying in his first stint. :)
This kid has impressed me greatly in FIA GT this year, and since Gotz is solid and Bernd Schneider is Bernd Schneider, the #84 certainly has a chance in this.
 
#73 Ferrari is insane :eek:

or #71 .. not sure

Interesting parking from the BMW. ARC Bratislava Porsche gets taken out by an SLS.
 
#58 is stopped on the side of the track.
Looks like the Delaheye Porsche.

#1 Audi to the garage.
 
#230 Nissan being pushed into the garage.
 
Pretty dangerous move by the marshals..
 
Gotta love John Watson over riding his co commentator all the time :lol:
 
#1 Audi back out on track.
 
Pilet is quick in that Porsche.
 
Whilst the racing is good, the best part of the coverage is Radio LeMans bagging out F1.
 
The stream has just stopped all of a sudden?
 
The unique pits are making for some interesting situations. One of the Porsches got a penalty for rejoining via the F1 pit lane exit. Silly mistake on his part. I can't think of any other tracks that have multiple paddocks.

Stream died for me as well
 
Really bad luck for Buurman there, and it seems like the backmarkers are moving over for the Manthey much more willingly.

Also, Lotterer has been setting fast sectors/laps in the #2, which he is frankly being wasted in.
 
The stream is weird. It seems like theres an hour break.
 
Nissan youtube is still working for onboard.
 
Looks like the Official stream won't be covering large portions of the race- bad news for those planning to watch as much as possible. right now there is an hour break, but then there is only 2hrs of coverage (21:00-23:00 local time).

Coverage restarts Tomorrow 08:00 Local time and goes til 12:00. Restarts 13:30 and goes til 17:00.

Should probably update the OP with this info.


Stream is back

Did the Marc VDS BMW get a little bit of air coming out of Eau Rouge? :scared:
 
So what we missed? Noticed the listings saying the Number 1 is out.
 
Is the Audi stream working for anyone? I can't get it to work, just get the pinwheel.

Official feed won't start again here until 2:00 am.
 
Can someone tell me what the "Gentlemen's Trophy" is for? Is it for teams whose drivers are all amateurs?
