Fassler aint gonna catch up for this, unless the 20's problems worsen, but he's sure trying.
 
Hey, guess what car just missed the first chicane?
 
If I'm Tyson chicken, I'm getting ready to sue a solenoid pump manufacturer.
 
Anything of importance happened during the last hour or so guys?
 
What's the status of that scoring light situation on the left side of the #1 Audi? That still have to be fixed?
 
I know we're 3/4 of the way through, but i'm willing to stick a fork in the LMP1 battle and concede an Audi victory. :(

Porsche and 2 Audi's all crashed, a Toyota and the other Porsche broke, Rebellion is leading

He's between 2-5 seconds a lap slower though. Unless something drastic happens to the leading Audi, sadly I can't see it happening.

I think they're just being a bit conservative. You never know if Porsche manages to take them
 
It's like everybody's sad that Audi could win :sly: lol
 
Audi had some issues overnight so lost some laps.

First the #1 had an injector issue which lost TK 7mins on his inlap before a 5min stop to replace it so it lost some ground.

#7 went out with a wiring loom issue apparently.

#2 had to replace a turbo while leading so dropped some laps too.

Can't confirm totally. I missed this live so just reading off reports.

All accurate.
 
Social feeds helped me on that one, accidentally had my alarm on for some reason so woke me up 2 hours earlier than planned. Checked Twitter and your FB updates and it was like I hadn't missed anything.
 
Lol, stream went to hell right in time. Gonna catch zome Zs for a couple of hours. See ya at 6 am or something.

1) 18 and a half.
2) For sure could, though I am starting to feel the 4 hours of sleep after a late night yesterday and got father's day stuff so idk if I will.
3) I'm setting alarms for every 30 minutes, so if I doze off I can stay in the game and see what's happening, all with a couple of power naps sprinkled in.
 
Bruni passes Senna. Ferrari 1st and AMR 2nd. Is it just me or is the GTE Pro battle closer and better than the LMP battle?
 
Le Mans Hour Eighteen:

The #75 Prospeed Porsche lost a door during a pitstop, which cost the team a little time before they got going. Out front in GTE PRO, Stefan Mucke had closed up to Fisichella in the #51 Ferrari, and made the made the move on the AF Corse driver on the approach to the first Mulsanne chicane, and then proceeded to break away from the Ferrari once more.

Meanwhile, the #75 Prospeed Porsche of Emmanuel Collard had ground to a halt, shedding a tyre and wheel on the exit of the second Mulsanne chicane.

Marc Gene was lapping quicker than Mark Webber, and soon lapped him again at the start/finish straight. This meant the Aussie was now two laps down on the leading Audi, with the third place car (Audi #2) six seconds per lap quicker than the Porsche driver, albeit five minutes behind.

Bruno Senna was now in the #97 Aston Martin, the PRO leading car, in place of Stefan Mucke. Senna was now less than a half dozen seconds clear of Bruni in the #51 Ferrari. Bruni was drawing ever closer to Senna, and the AF Corse driver seemed determined to take the GTE PRO lead. The Italian had a scare at the first Mulsanne chicane with the #90 8Star Ferrari cutting the #51 off, but fortunately it did not cost him much time, and he continued to chase down Senna.
The two began to dogfight down the straight, and as the hour draws to a close Bruni takes the lead at the Mulsanne Corner.

So the #1 Audi of Marc Gene leads in LMP1, while Mark Shulzhitskiy is in control of the LMP2 class. The Ferrari of Bruni leads in GTE PRO, while the #95 Danish Aston Martin leads in GTE AM.

Alpine Nissan in the Garage. Something in the left front.
 
Webber is a lap down Adam, not 2.

Anyway Gene still a lot faster at the moment.
