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

[Bram Turismo]

blue flags are to tell you faster car approaching not to get out of the way,its up to the faster car behind to find a way passed.

A blue flag means "Faster car approaching, a pass may be imminent, use mirrors".

 

[Patrick]

He's being treated by medical staff.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

How long was that for the 3? ~25 minutes?

 

[DVNTST8]

#3 Audi back out.

from about 12:47 to 1:13, 26 minutes.


Heard Davidson was on a stretcher, pray he's ok.

 

[Wardy 944]

I think they should rethink the whole GT-AM thing

I agree will all the Gold and platinum licence holders in the world they could easily loose the AM drivers, but of course this would also include the ones from GT Acadamy

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Anyone know the status of Davidson? From some streams, it sounds like he's still inside the car.

I think he was taken out and placed in an ambulance.

 

[Emptyone]

Okay, now I see it was a Toyota that had been hit, going off of what you guys are saying. Was it the leading TS030? I'm not listening to any commentators so I don't know.

Also looks like the front is finally on the Audi and they're pulling it out now. 👍

Was Davidson in the #8 Toyota in 3rd a minute off the lead

 

[JevL]

Took 20 minutes for the Audi.

 

[TankAss95]

I meant my own comment above your quote. The LMP's need to keep in mind that there are amateurs on the track. Silly, I know, and in my mind amateurs should be banned from Le Mans, to stop this kind of accidents.

While racing you expect everyone else to share a common sense of adequate racing etiquette.

 

[Desmo46]

A carbon copy of what happened to McNish and Rockenfeller last year. Hopefully Davidson's alright.

 

[Scalage]

That was not 10 minutes

You were right, 20-30 minutes

 

[Dennisch]

Davidson does look hurt.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

So the driver in the faster car, who was already ahead and had the racing line was at fault? hmmm, welcome to planet crazy.

again watch it again the ferrari had the racing line the speed difference between the cars at that point in time is at least 50mph so how quickly is a car doing 50mph more going to suddenly show up next to you.


25 minutes and the #3 audi is rebuilt

 

[SubaruWRC555]

Scrap GTE-Am and bring in GT3 cars with better drivers.

Davidson on a stretcher...

this!!! gt-3 cars across the board!!!

 

[hornet_burnout]

A blue flag means "Faster car approaching, a pass may be imminent, use mirrors".

...and eyes, and brain.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Another 458 just went off track, but just into the sand. During a yellow.

 

[CarBastard]

I agree with those saying to scrap the GT-AM idea. The A.C.O should go back to the two entirely different GT categories idea.

Looks like Audi will come out of the pitlane in the lead.

 

[Dennisch]

While racing you expect everyone else to share a common sense of adequate racing etiquette.

Sigh.

It's the etiquette of the PROFESSIONAL driver to be the smarter one. Again, it's silly, I know, but that is racing at Le Mans.

Dumb move by Davidson, dumb move by the Ferrari.

 

[Savolainen83]

I want one of those Audi pace cars to GT5. IN PREMIUM!

the ferrari ****did not**** have the racing line, it was on the outside, he hit the back of of the car that went past him.

 

[Pilitev]

Hope the #7 Toyota stays away from problems so we can have a nice clean battle with the Audi's for the rest of the race..

No.

 

[Dennisch]

No.

No?

 

[CarBastard]

Speed is interviewing a team-mate of the GT driver in question. He says he's gonna stay clear of judging his team-mate and insisted that it's hard for them to see the P1 cars.

There's an ambulance in the track, aparently for Davidson. My best wishes for him.

 

[Desmo46]

With the closing speed of the Toyota, the Ferrari seemingly just didn't expect Ant to be there.

By the time he committed to the corner, it was too late.

 

[Scalage]

Hope the #7 Toyota stays away from problems so we can have a nice clean battle with the Audi's for the rest of the race..

And let's hope there isn't the F-factor like they had with peogeot but they are being considered equal.

 

[Wardy 944]

For the Meme a Gif makers

 

[Jawehawk]

A carbon copy of what happened to McNish and Rockenfeller last year. Hopefully Davidson's alright.

Not quite. last year, the Ferrari probably couldn't tell the distance between him and the Audi due to the ridicules lights on the Audi.

 

[gorsad]

Toyota #7 and Audi #1 have a stop and go penalty. Davidson on a stretcher, hope he's okay.

 

[hornet_burnout]

No?

No. McNish last year 100% to blame. Rocky? 50/50. This BS? 100% Ferrari.
