2016 Le Mans 24 Hours - 15th to 19th June 2016

How, and/or, why the hell does a rim exlode???

I would guess it is related to the hip check he gave the 50 Corvette a few hrs ago, something in the suspension might be out of alignment.

 

[Furinkazen]

On Hybrid Power only maybe?

 

[chrisjohnson93]

Limping back to the pits now, probably under electric power

 

[Suzumiya]

Eco Friendly Audi Prototype

 

[CarBastard]

Yup, only the wheezing of the electric engine. Dr. Ulrich, that batch of turbochargers you got is complete 🤬, I'd be more than happy to dispose of them for you, just because I'm so great.

 

[NW48]

#84 in the garage.

 

[Cano]

Well imagine if they weren't hybrids. No going back to pits for them.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

The #84 is back into the garage

 

[Furinkazen]

#84 in the garage.

Could be just a driver change?

Nope, just a driver change.

w00t!!!!!!! Sausset going back in!

 

[chrisjohnson93]

Nope, just a driver change.

the driver change already took place.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Does anyone have a stream to use that isn't just onboards? The one I was using before I went to bed has been taken down. If anyone does, please pm me

 

[NW48]

Could be just a driver change?

You are correct. Just seemed like it was trying to go again before being wheeled back in.

 

[Furinkazen]

So after 12 hours who is still going on here?

 

[Suzumiya]

I'm going all 24 hours.

 

[Bo]

I might take a nap after the next hour.

 

[MustangManiac]

What's up with the hybrids this year? Half way in and about half the field has had issues so far.

 

[Christian_C]

92 is officially out with a broken suspension pick up.

On another note the music from that skoda ad on eurosport is driving me mad now.

 

[NW48]

So after 12 hours who is still going on here?

I've done 7 and a bit hours. But I'm seeing the rest of the race through.

 

[CarBastard]

So after 12 hours who is still going on here?

Me and whatever will remain of my stomach/liver after two cans of Monster, 10 cans of Smirnoff Ice and a big box of Pop Corn Chicken.

You know me, Furi, I'm always in for the long haul!

 

[Suzumiya]

I thought many expected the hybrids to have problems this year, at least that's what I've heard from others due to poor reliability shown from past WEC races?

 

[FutureF1]

Gotta feel for Leena Gade here. Final race with Audi after doing so much with them and the racing gods are not giving her the best send off. Hope they can salvage something out of this...

I think Audi #8 is a sleeper.

 

[TS050]

I've gotten awfully tired in the last 30 minutes...

I'll probably take an hour long nap now. Hopefully, I don't miss out on anything too big...

 

[Savolainen83]

So after 12 hours who is still going on here?

I'm here.

 

[FutureF1]

Yeah but doesn't she run the 7 crew? I'm pretty sure the 8s have a different race engineer

 

[Furinkazen]

G Drive (Jota) to front in P2, dueling with TDS.

 

[Suzumiya]

I wonder if the #7 has enough battery power to make it? Dumb question but just wondering...
