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

[Scalage]

Audi #4 seems to be stuck in gear

 

[Gejabo]

Ordonez & Tresson's car are just 1 lap ahead of the leading GTE Pro Ferrari.

They both are in a different car

 

[Scalage]

Asuming they take 4 minutes per lap, and need 55 laps more (315 at the moment) they can actually pull it off in the 4 hours that are left.

Oh they'll do much better than 4 min. per lap in green flag racing. I'd say 3.40 including pitstops average.

 

[photonrider]

Fell asleep. Has anything happened during the night?

Okay, then. It was a dark and not so stormy night. There was racing. And crashing. Corvette parts everywhere. Audis always leading. And lots of Krista Voda.

 

[obsessive rules]

Audi no.1 is second.

The no.50 vette and the Porsche are 20 seconds apart.

I know, but I wanted a "worst case scenario". Still, my calculations are tremenously simplistic. Only the Audi race engineers know if we're having a distance record or not. But being in reach I don't see why they wouldn't go for it. It'd be such an Audi sweep.

 

[C-ZETA]

also wtf is this lol. #4 randomly stalls and goes again and stalls and goes again.

It's gone into limited time demo mode.

Or it keeps asking to have credits inserted.

Edit: Tree'd from below?!!

I'm reading it might be electronic gearbox problems for the No.4 Audi.

Would be awsome with a 1-2-3-4 finish, Hybrids and Cappello winning on his birthday and new distance record!

Go Audi!

Did anybody see the time on the clock when McNish got in? Wondering if he can go to the finish now to save a driver change stop over the #1

Go Audi!

Indeed! GO AUDI!

 

[Savolainen83]

Just thought I post this for those just joining us in here.

Helps with the cautions, maybe.

 

[yanaran]

Am I losing track of time due to sleep deprivation or did Capello do a really short stint? I swear I remember RLM saying they were surprised he got in not long ago instead of letting him take the checkered on his birthday...

Or it gets a pennatly for corner cutting, in that case the others can go right through him

Race feed


11:05:37 : Dindo Capello "Definitely no team orders at Audi"


11:02:57 : No 4 Audi appears to have electrical gearbox gremlins


11:01:32 : Audi No 4 has problems again out on circuit, slowed and then restarted at race speed

 

[obsessive rules]

Going in shower for 5, keep me updated

I love how I pretty much added that exact post in after you posted.

[obsessive rules]

Wait. 1-4 finish, to celebrate they could do a doughnut each.

Stop stealing my thoughts!

 

[Scalage]

Apperently, Alan Mcnish is a 'juicier' driver

Nice one 👍

Audi should be considering of keeping the cars close towards the end of the race for a photo finish.

 

[comu]

are team orders legal?

 

[CarBastard]

Speed is interviewing Bonanomi. He confims it was gearbox problems and that they solved them by resetting all switches onboard.

 

[Fido_le_muet]

They just spoke about GT Academy and Jordan Tresson on french TV.

 

[photonrider]

#4 no go.

Not sure they can make that 1-2-3-4 now.

 

[TankAss95]

Let's hope the #4 car is in front...

Oh, so the only option was to reset the game. Sounds like something I know...(I.e. GT5)

Let's hope the #4 car is in front...

So 4-3-2-1 is the logical way to go over the line.
