I've been hearing "comfortably north of 200", which looks about right. The Porsche on-board showed 328 km/h. I'll have to convert the numbers on that to be sure, though.
 
I think he meant 215MPH as 250MPH is 405KPH and the last car to do that at Le Mans was the WM Peugeot that soon overheated and blew up.

200 mph are roughly 320 kph, the Audis have done over 340 kph.
 
#27 crawling on the track, heading in to Porsche curves. Looked like had damage on the rear.

And they could only really do it when the straight wasn't interrupted by chicanes.
 
I want Mazda to come back in. That LMP3 category would be ripe.

Have they shown what's happening at the aerodrome yet?

- There is a storm to the south east and heavy rain to the south.
- It is blowing north.
 
Fastest lap 3:17.647 but who did it? Announcers say Albuquerque did it but wec timer says Rast is driving :confused:

I was meaning Audi are using it doing high speed runs in shiny new R8s
 
Mentos attained, lamp on, now watching on TV rather than ipad.

Ready for the night.
 
I wish we could get a little more GTE action. I realize the LMP1 battle is a great one, but I prefer GTE to be honest.

I'm pretty sure they could achieve similar speeds even with the chicanes, but the gearing and aero necessary would slow 'em down too much on the rest of the track and most likely break the rules.

Was Felipe.

Where the heck have G-Drive gone in this race? Dominated WEC LMP2 and now... no-where?

They are running 3rd and 6th in class so they could still be a threat at the end.
 
I think that the Audi will most likely win the 24 Hours of Le Mans... But anything can happen, I guess...

Ah, got you. They were doing that last year too IIRC.

I prefer P1, mostly because of technological development.
