????

Hellaflush, is a tunning tendency of giving extreme negative camber angles. Much like the one that P2 had there

 

[uMadson?]

It was bound to happen one way or another without the Toyotas...

#23 Oreca off track at first Mulsanne chicane!

Yellow flags in effect!

sorry.

Because of the "yo" and the Z at the end of Le Mans I thought it was somthing in Spanish (you being from Colombia)

 

[CarBastard]

And the Nissan of Jordan Tresson in the gravel causing a local yellow flag!

 

[Gejabo]

NOOO #23 out!

 

[Savolainen83]

NOOO #23 out!

Got back on the track.

 

[The Bman]

And right near the Forza Motorsport sign.

Does Sony even sponsor this event anymore? Or at least have any signs on the track?

 

[Gejabo]

Oh, I thought I saw it being towed...

Oops, I need another coffee

 

[CarBastard]

Got back on the track.

Nothing serious apparently. He was close to the barriers though.

 

[Desmo46]

#1 in the pits.

 

[CarBastard]

#1 in the pits.

And into the garage!

 

[CarBastard]

Look at this tweet:

No 23 Oreca in gravel at Forza chicane #24LM @24hoursoflemans.

SONY, Y NO PLAYSTATION CHICANE!?!

 

[Savolainen83]

Nothing

 

[Desmo46]

And into the garage!

And straight back out again.

I think Forza 4 (Xbox/Turn 10) outbid Gran Turismo 5 (PS(3)/PD) in recent sales, so Forza captured the sponsor.

 

[Gejabo]

coplete new rear on the car in just over a minute

 

[CarBastard]

#1 back in the track, but in 2nd place now. Impressive time as always for the Audi mechanics. It was a full service in the garage with rear bodywork replacement.

 

[photonrider]

The fat lady ......... Audi. Audi.

That was impressive.

 

[C-ZETA]

So looks like the only thing of note I missed is the #7 Toyota's death.

Still, given how no one expected them to really challenge Audi, they have really made a name for themselves here. Though it's almost like the '98 TS020 in this case

 

[Wardy 944]

Another new fastest lap for Duval in Audi no 3 with 3:24.7

 

[Savolainen83]

Hoe did the youtube tags work?

 

[CarBastard]

That's why I love Audi. They are the most dedicated team in the last decade. Peugeot and Toyota can match their speed, but matching their pace in the pits is almost impossible. And that matters a lot in endurance racing.

 

[Gejabo]

Bit off topic but here's something for you hellaflush lovers out there:



Damn, how did one post toutube videos?

Here you go

edit:
or at least one

That sucks.

Anyway sony should start sponsoring the Toyota TS030 next year.

 

[Savolainen83]

Here you go

How did you do that?
