Been watching this all day while multi-tasking - and I keep thinking GT4 for some reason . . .maybe the quality of the picture. No GT5 ultra-reality at all.
Would be great to have these cars in the next GT.

Or you could play Forza and drive them right now:sly:

No. Would be great to have these cars in the next GT. ;)

edit: TBH - I've been wanting to jump into GT4's Bentley. :)
 
I don't think PD has the license for any GT cars though, kind of like Porsche
I'd like to see some LeMans cars in GT though :/
 
A question for you guys: Which drivers have won both the 24 hours of Le Mans and the F1 world championship?

Graham Hill at least. He has also won the Indianapolis 500 which makes him the only holder of Triple Crown of Motorsport.

Graham Hill.
 
Yes Graham, but there are more...
 
Isn't that just perfect timing. I just went back into watch the race again. I saw some guys walking down the pitlane for 20 seconds and then the break just started. :lol:

Graham Hill, not sure if he's the only one but he is the only one to have won the Indy 500, Monaco GP (F1 Championship) and the Le Mans 24 hours.

Only two guys who are currently active can achieve the triple crown of motorsport, if you count winning the GP of Monaco as one of it's legs instead of the F1 championship. However, Graham will likely stay as the only owner of the triple cup since it's been some years since Villenueve stepped in an LMP1 and Montoya is just too hot-headed and has an attitude to unsuitable to ever win Le Mans.
 
Porsche in 1976 and 1977. Unless BMW counts for 1995.

Ok, thanks. Wasn't sure if thats been done before.
 
What's the Michelin Green X Challenge?
 
What's the Michelin Green X Challenge?

I've never been sure but I think it's some sort of "Which car is the most frugal?" type of challenge. If I'm not mistaken, the team that wins it earns a cash bonus.
 
I think thats only for the alms.
 
@ CarBastard

Basically that. Just finds the most efficient, productive, and reliable Prototype and GT car.
 
Loic Duval clocks what I think has been the fastest time so far, a 3'25.xxx
 
It's a challenge held in ALMS which the teams achieve a score based on overall speed and fuel efficiency I believe, the reward was that the winner earned a slot into the 24 hours.
 
It's been popping up on the screen on my feed, the Audi's are 1-2-3-4 in it.

Yeah, I've heard it mentioned by the guys at EuroSport as well.

The Dome S102.5 comes out of the garages :).
 
Okay - I'm in Toronto, Canada - it's I.30 a.m. here. Nearing the 3/4 mark.
 
Leigh apologized for something Dindo said. What did he say?
 
i love those helicopter shots
 
such a boss overtaking maneuver for the #3 Audi :lol:
 
3'25.671 to be exact the time clocked by Duval. I think he's the only Audi driver with orders to drive flat-out so Audi's PR team can show a 1-2-3-4.
 
Lap record time attempt for #3
 
2'22.995 is the gap between the Rebellion and Duval. Expect it to be gone soon, as they say the difference in laptimes was of 14 seconds in the last lap!!! :eek::eek::eek:
