There should be a onboard angle...

Signatech Alpine being Manitoued off to safety.
 
Thank the Maker Chatin's fine, still gutted to see the Alpine out, tho.

Well I just hope I won't fall asleep on the sofa. Which reminds me, I need more coffee.

Don't forget the portable throne for the number twos and such. :lol: But joke aside, good luck with that, it'll be a tough struggle to stay awake during the whole night...

And I'm glad that the Alpine driver is alright, it seems that the car had a major off and/or had a bodykit problem. Of course, this leaves a battle of Ligier vs Oreca for the LMP2 class...
 
I'll send him a message once he gets out or gets back to the garage, see if I can get word from him on what happened.
 
Best thing I love with Le Mans. Bright red brakes, backfire exhaust, glowing exhaust pipes (911 cars), The challenge of buckus visibility.
 
Chatin isn't having the best of years, he was the driver who hit the wall at Silverstone when his car shed a wheel.

Albuquerque's laptime broke the all time record for Le Mans, set in 1971 by Jackie Oliver (3:18:04 vs 3:17:647) With the mulsanne chicanes:drool::drool::drool:

It would be cool to see a video of both laps superimposed.

And the art car looks less seizure-inducing at night:dopey:

Can you even call it "art car"? Looks to me like a 1 minute Photoshop "design" that got printed on a adhesive film for cars.
 
The Porsche 919 is featuring in a Shell V-Power commercial.

The 911 should feature in Lea & Perrins'.

Makes for a interesting challenge. ;)

Dunno if this SC period will keep the distance record in tact for another year...

They should have run a Yellow 919 as well. :sly:
 
Is this the first time there's been helicopter shots at night? It looks awesome.
 
Okay, that's it for me, I got my first 8 hour stint done, time for a short nap.
 
Looks like gearbox issues on the Nissan, clutch was dismounted (yes, it's clutch>gearbox>engine from front to rear).

It might, I haven't done the calculations. 17 laps / hour is the mark
 
2 Nissans back in for repairs. Hopefully they get back out.

I missed the Alpine accident. What happened?
