Just had 7 hours sleep, was hoping to come back and see Rebellion in the top 3, but nope... Still a bunch of Audi's. :(

I hope we get lots of good quality pictures from them once the race is over. 👍

Also, Famine is not logged into GTP? :eek:
 
Sad day for the Gulf liveries...
1 out of 6 remaining.
 
Also the car smells like a Dixi toilet in the burning sun! Just changed suits again, was all wet with someone else his p*ss. 10min back out! @jbleekemolen

Looks like someone got inspired by the Pierre Levegh anecdotes we were telling a while ago...

Apparently, driving at Le Mans isn't as glamorous as we think. It looks like it involves lots of pissing yourself while going 300 Km/H :lol:.
 
The Audis are competing XD
 
You know what they say; If you have to go, you have to go :lol:
 
#40 going airbourne in slo-mo.:drool:

"Dark green overalls, boy!"

I stand corrected, I thought it was Pierre Levegh the one who said this but a Wikipedia search shows I was mistaken. That...inspiring quote is from Edward Ramsden Hall:

"However, there was a swansong performance for that car, when Hall drove it in the second post-war Le Mans 24-hour race in 1950, becoming the first man to drive solo for the entire distance - despite having a co-driver in the pits ready to take over. When asked by Denis Jenkinson what the toilet arrangements were if he never left the cockpit for 24 hours, Hall replied "Green overalls, old boy!"[4]"

Welp. The Morgan is in the gravel.
 
OK then lads, I'm back. What have I missed?

Edit: Ant Davidson has a broken back :(

#40 Or #35?

Anyway I really like those shots, they never had that last year from what I can recall. It's incredible. You can see the Audi's headlights refresh rate those cameras are so fast. :drool:

Seems you've missed a lot.
 
I left at 15 hours to go. Toyotas bid is over it seems.

As is Deltawing's. And Rebellion is no longer in the way of a 1-2-3-4 Audi finish.
 
Flying Lizard through the anchor out to avoid hitting the #35 Morgan.:scared:
 
Their bid was over a while ago...
 
Lola-Toyota 13 rejoins the race @jbleekemolen at the wheel @RebellionRacing.

The wee-car is back to the race.

I kinda figured they would have troubles of some sort, new cars always do.
