The sound for Channel 1 on live.LeMans-TV.com is dodgy for me. Anyone else experiencing this? The sound's okay for the other channels.

So, what's the point of the GT cars, then?!

You choosed the wrong exhample. They are road sport cars tuned to racing specs. They have their class.

Delta wing can't compete with GT it's not a road car tuned for racing. Like it or not Delta wing is an unconventional prototype, but this is not the problem, problem is being fast or not. And they aren't.
 
Oh man this Corvette sounds awesome, just it running through the track with no commentary. For those watching SPEED. :drool:
 
Speed is doing one lap on board the Vette with no commentary! Om nom nom :drool:

Same. No worries though.
 
Ohhh damn. And now I remember I have to finish an essay for the Uni today. Damn! I want to watch Le Mans, not to write an essay on Nietzsche! :(

Point is DW is too slow to be there and by beeing there "took out" a Toyota, right?

There are slower cars than it, and a slower Ferrari definitely did take out the other Toyota.

The ACO told them the lap time they expected them to achieve. They did this.

You don't like that? Take it up with the ACO.

"Fast" is relativ. And unless you are comparing the DW to the LMP1s, it can't be called slow by a long shot. Hell, if it wasn't for Nakajima, I could've imagined it besting Pescarolo, at least :lol:

And with that, I believe, we can call off this ridiculous argument. Everyone, including the specialized media, is praising the DeltaWing. There's no reason for bashing it with such arguments...

There's not too much to accompany us though.

Pretty much the only current point of interest left now is the E-Tron's sound of the electric motor letting go.
 
RE: Corvette ride-along: And it's not even fully dark yet. I'd like to see it again at 3 in the morning.

Terrific stuff. Love the sound of that V-8. Chuckled that Garcia almost got it wrong leaving the second Mulsanne chicane. Damn thing gets me too quite a bit in GT5.
 
Just turned it on about 10 minutes ago. From what I've quickly checked one Toyota has has a massive accident with a Ferrari and crashed heavily, the other Toyota hit the Deltawing and now both are out and Audi are 1-2-3... again. Have I missed anything else?
 
Hmmm, either the Toyota is very fragile or it's built in a way that doesn't make repairs easy. The hit didn't look THAT hard yet it's caused them to be hours in the garage.
 
So, I'm on Le Mans TV Live and I'm trying to watch Channel 7 (Ordonez) and it shows is the last corner cam. Anyone know what's up with that?

I had that. If you muted it they'd just go into robot mode, it's fine un-muted though. I got annoyed with the english commentator continuing on from what the french commentator said, as if everyone listening can follow on.
