I might have missed something but what happened to the Level 5 Motorsport's LOLA? And the AMR-one LMP1 are quite slow...
 
It hasn't been out on track yet as far as I know. Don't know what the problem is.

Speedtrap for the Corvette: 288km/h! Not far off what the GT1 C6.R used to do.

Le Mans 24 minutes on Eurosport 2 + HD in 5 mins. Michael Waltrip is the guest today.
 
The AMR-One #009 hasn't been coming out due to a leakage in the engine...
 
Strange question: F1 famously has 18000 horsepower. So have any of the le mans sites worked out how many stallions are running around la sarthe on sunday?
 
OK, so Le Mans 24 minutes isn't on just yet becuase of stupid tennis.
 
sorry if this has been answered earlier, but what is the 24minutes program?
 
Eurosport is doing some kind of daily magazin, previewing the race ahead, reviewing past races and showcasing some of the teams.

Also mentioned Audi did the fastest lap today.

Just got some words that the #33 Level 5 has got some sort of fuel issues and they're still fixing it ahead of the qualifying session.

EDIT: #20 Zytek will also miss the first part of the qualifying due to some damage on the car.

EDIT: #76 IMSA Porsche will not be seen in the qualifying today due to the crash earlier. The car is being striped down for further repairs.

You can try this... Just click on British Eurosport 2 then it'd be all good ;)

Anyways, there seems to be some sort of problem for the #64 Lotus Evora. Yet to come out... The #007 Aston is running but now the #009 is in the pit after an off somewhere at the Mulsanne straight between the two chicanes.

EDIT: Driveshaft problem for the #22 Kronos Aston...
 
Yep, not a fantastic night for Aston Martin ... not even Kronos escapes
 
Audi crash?

wow ... someone got T-Boned by an Audi?????
 
Just turned on a live stream to the qualy just as it happened. Talk about a hard hit good thing it happened in arnage since its the slowest corner. if that would have happened else where it would have been much worse.
 
#1 Audi just had an accident at the Mulsanne corner with an Aston. I believed to be the #60 Gulf Aston Martin... He touch the kerb and slammed on the brakes. Too late, the car went straight onto the side of the Aston. Quite some damage to the front...

A night and day full of bad luck for the Aston Martin, doesn't matter LMP or GT.

EDIT: Romain Dumas of #1 Audi just complained to why there was no yellow flag at the corner.

NapoleonMickey, it was Mulsanne corner, not Arnage. Have no news on the condition of the Aston or its driver, but Dr. Ulrich was saying the Audi is heavily damaged, so I can only guess the Aston to be all but destroyed :nervous:

EDIT - Lucas Ordonez driving now 👍
 
yea just herd it was mulsane. the commentators on eurosport where saying arnage.
 
Hun200kmh

They're currently running 2nd in class, 13th overall correct? Just making sure I'm seeing the stream correctly...

You are :) they are 0.5 off first place in LMP2 👍
 
Finally the #33 Level 5 Lola made it onto the track, already setting faster lap time than the #009 Aston.

EDIT: The #83 JMB Ferrari has been smoking earlier in the session but now they're reporting some more serious thing as the smoke still apear...

EDIT: The #22 Kronos Aston has just made its way back out again on board with Vanina Ickx despite the report earlier of retiring tonight's qualifying session.

EDIT: The #60 Gulf Aston has just made its way to the paddock which got hit by the Audi earlier. Some damage done to the bodywork of the Aston and possibly steering/suspension damage. Not too serious.

EDIT - The SOUND of that Kronos Aston ...... :drool: :drool: :drool:
 
Gulf Aston V8 is damaged, but not too bad.
 
opss .... Strakka's car is badlly damaged. They are the defending LMP2 champions
 
Big crash for Strakka... Nick Leventis at the wheel.
 
LOL why? For a guy with so much success he still acts normal, talks normal, is normal. :)
 
Not that I hate Dr. Ulrich, but his attitude of bursting his bubbles on the BMW guys last year was idiotic and that's why I have a bit of feeling to not liking him. Other than that, he's much more of a normal guy.
