Whats Del Taco?

Del Taco is delicious faux-Mexican food!

I can say that 'cause I'm Mexican...

I've been switching back and forth from the le mans tv, the speed/corvette and the bbc feeds. Any other good ones to recommend?

And a comment on staying awake, my doctor taught me this: hop into the shower then alternate as HOT as you can stand, then as COLD as you can stand, about ten seconds each, for ten cycles. Messes with your system. You'll be WIDE awake for at least four hours!

10 seconds, 10 cycles? So, 20 seconds each? 10 times?! More than three minutes?!

That's a long time.....
 
Dear mother of god!!! I just got thrown into the future by the sound of one of the Audis! The R18 Ultra coming into the pits sounded like a bike from Tron or a reactor shutting down. It felt so...futuristic.

When you can drive a Delta Wing sure tell us that. :)

I'm staying up for next couple hours - who else is?

Hell yes, I watched the Nürb race live last month so no problem staying up this race. 👍

Still got pizza, pepsi, energy drink and ice cream to go, sadly the Toblerone is gone. :guilty:

Same can be said for the lead cars. It's early in the race and they could have shown more patience.

Just drop it dude, just making yourself look like an ass and turning this thread into something it doesn't need to be.

There's nothing else to speak about it. 24h LM is over.

Nice nickname. Expecially for the Bastard part. Another user with no clue on safety manouvers that slow drivers MUST accomplish in this chaotic situations. F1 drivers do brefing for this kind of stuff.

Serously all you guys can use all the smiley you want but you have zero clue on how professional drivers should act while being considerably slower.

As I said, Naka could have been a little more cautious, but that thing is so damn low, prototype drivers have a reduced lateral view, sometimes you can just hope the slower driver understand the situation.

That's why drivers briefing exist.

Guys like Pumpelly prove that not everyone in GT-AM is a B-Spec driver 👍

Yeah, Yeah, yadda, yadda, yadda. Move on, please.
 
Can no.7 Toyota spun. Now I think they're trying, if he pushed it that hard he must be going for the podium. CMON TOYOTA! 3:33 lap posted.
 
Speaking of food for this race, I'm settling on doughnuts, cake, and milk. :lol: Hopefully some soda later on. :)

You talked about f1, have a look at the cars. The Audi r18 doesn't look like a red bull rb8 does it. IT IS ENDURANCE RACING.

Yep they are pushing it, i think after the Audi-Toyota battle they changed strategies and decided to go for the win.
 
Everyone in this thread will be a little bit fatter when this race is over. :lol:

Yeah, please. I've said it a couple of times now already, let's all just forget about this. We all know what happened, there's no need to ruin the thread with a fed troll.
 
Hm, Audi looks well mean with those blue LED lights on the edge of their headlight main beam thingy.

In the pits.

And also, that dude that does the cleaning of the windscreen, he's rather particular about it isn't he?!

Climbing all over the screen for that job!
 
@Wardez, Perfect. :lol:

Mmm... I may go to bed soon and wake up at 6am for the sunrise.

I, however, will be staying up until sunrise. I don't need much to keep me awake that late, plus my body clock is pretty messed up anyway (I'm truly nocturnal).

You can't reply so you start trolling. Quite predictable I would say.

Which gun do you suggest Motoyama should have used? To shoot himself, I mean?

Wiegert? Staying up late? I am shocked!

That's the most sensible thing to do, really. Well, I know of one thing that would be even better, but can't remember where that god damn ignore function can be found :lol:
