Eurosport "WE APOLOGISE FOR LOSS OF COMMENTARY"

Hey i'm enjoying a "pure sound" broadcast for a minute or two.

I'm watching without sound. (Girlfriend playing on PS3)
keeping up with any news by you guys

In the event of a barrier impact, he'd be tearing off the front bumper like Dumas.

well now you've given me the idea

 

[TypeRDC5]

ok if i see a toyota on my inside ill give it a shot

if it's a prius it deserves it anyway

 

[obsessive rules]

*weeps*

 

[Furinkazen]

Commentary back. At least thought Eurosport have a good commentary team.

 

[HumanDestroyah]

Also impressive stint those who've been up all night 👍

Night shift + Satellite TV = Great day on the job 👍


I had no idea the Delta Wing got slapped off the track. I was wondering why I didnt see it. 👎

 

[Savolainen83]

Audi #1 has spun!

Luckily it was on the pit entry so no harm.

 

[robert1]

if it's a prius it deserves it anyway

this is true...and someone i work with has one...will make me feel much much better 💡

 

[Furinkazen]

Treluyer makes error coming in pits!!!

 

[uMadson?]

waitwhat

#1 car screwed up a bit into the pit lane entry

 

[Desmo46]

#1 Audi spins coming into pits.

 

[obsessive rules]

No.1 span slowing for the pit-lane XD

 

[RUstAuSi]

#1 Audi spins coming into pits.

Just saw a replay of it.

 

[Wardy 944]

Advantage #2

 

[CarBastard]

Not a real problem for Audi #1. Spun entering the pits but made his stop without a problem and is now back on track.

 

[Gejabo]

wheel locking up when braking?

 

[obsessive rules]

It was just like a handbrake turn according to rlm

 

[Luminis]

Lost about 13 seconds due to the pit spin.

 

[CarBastard]

wheel locking up when braking?

Speed latinamerica guys were just discussing that. Maybe problems with the brake bias?

 

[TankAss95]

wheel locking up when braking?

Yeah braking too hard.

 

[Dan360]

During the spin:

 

[Star]

worst pit entry ever

 

[Emptyone]

Here's a little bit of footage of Motoyama trying to fix the Delta Wing last night

 

[Jawehawk]

Aparently Audi doesn't have GT5's super ABS.

 

[Savolainen83]

Not a real problem for Audi #1. Spun entering the pits but made his stop without a problem and is now back on track.

He should have slowed down a bit more and let the A.I drive the car to the pit... oh wait.

 

[CarBastard]

worst pit entry ever

Well, Vickers set the bar very high when he entered the pitlane on fire .

 

[m8h3r]

Rlm seem convinced you couldnt lock up brakes intentionally. Thinking its something to do with the hybrid.

That is actually really heartbreaking, man. Just shows you that there is so much different emotions that you will feel when endurance racing, especially at Le Mans.

 

[Mic_Col]

Funny how 3 hours of racing sounds like "we're getting close to the end now"

Also LOL at RLM sending out a birthday and Father's day message to someone they know. Spends ages explaining that he's going to send the msg. Then just as he starts the message proper - cuts himself off when the Audi spun at pit entrance.
