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".

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

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

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

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
 
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.

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.

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.
 
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..
 
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.
 
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.

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

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