80th running of the Le Mans 24 Hours - 16–17 June 2012

[Desmo46]

#1's still running.

 

[uMadson?]

#4 Audi back on track.

 

[MustangManiac]

Do you honestly believe that was intentional? Really?

Some people see what they want to see, I figure he was going to tuck in behind him and catch a draft, not thinking with the upcoming turn the P1 car would not blow by as quickly as usual.

I missed 6 hours of of the race, is the Toyota #7 still running or did it retire after its stop at the end of pit lane?

Can anyone recommend a good quality live stream with commentary that will work on iPad? I've been using the Ten Sport live stream but the lack of commentary is slightly annoying.

Kinda of a blow to Toyota to have the e-tron leading for the win.

Not really, they came to get back in shape and were well aware that Audi is on home turf. Toyota's blow is their unfortunate fate.

Retired unfortunately. 👎

Cause of it is engine issue...

[GTPorsche]

Close call for one of the signatech mechanics as the car dropped off the jacks.

Not dead, beached

So is there any competition for the Audi's or are they racing themselfs?

Ya very scary moment.. Could have been much worse..

#1's still running.

that's what I thought, I've been watching the on-board of the #1 and he's just cruising along.

 

[Cano]

Rebellion car = coolest car in the race.

Audi vs. Audi at the moment, like a decade ago.

 

[Scalage]

#1 has come in already (with minor rear damage) but went out again. Was I the only one to see that?

It sounds really cool 👍

Racing themselves, YES.

1,2,3,4 podium win, maybe, only if the no.3 R18 Ultra overtakes the Lola rebellion-Toyota, which is currently in 4th position.

 

[uMadson?]

#2 Audi in the pits.

 

[Skython]

Do you honestly believe that was intentional? Really?

To an extent. I believe it is a possibility because well. Ferrari's do seem to have a habit of taking out LMP cars. It could have been the Perrazini trying to tuck in behind and catch the draft, which is more likely... But they were just about to go into braking anyway. He intentionally moved in but it was more of a misjudgement or a badly thought out move.

 

[MustangManiac]

That was after his high speed spin, looks like he brushed the wall a bit.

 

[Scalage]

Omg those eurosport guys are running on caffeine. It was showing onboard of the #1 audi and they said "no sign of the #1 audi"!!!

ah, that would explain my confusion... I didn't pick up the Audi stream until he was leaving the pits.

The #12 REBELLION RACING Lola is in 4th but its 6 laps down

#48 down as well.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Who wouldn't like to crash somewhere in between 200-300 km/h? An error.

 

[Scalage]

Ouch, #48 looking very second hand

 

[Mac K]

Do I see rain? Or am I just tired?

 

[MustangManiac]

Does anyone know if there are more cars out this year than average? Sure seems like it, especially just past half way.
