Oh and the halfway point brought to you by Ferrari, the fireworks guys were too expensive. :/
 
Saw the replay...

YOINK!!! :eek:

Flames on the right side. Hope the refueling people are OK...
 
Delete please: Double post
 
Fuel hose crew member on fire round neck area there, hope he's ok, scary moment!
 
That was a bit scary.
 
Yeah, my app had a bit of an issue for about 5 minutes or ao. Said to check my connection, which was fine. Started working soon after.

Ferrari trying to take notes from the Porsche's, I see.
 
Ferrari just got burned... Good job he wasn't a bakery.. Else his business would have been toast.

No? No? I'll just leave.
 
Pitcrew guy didn't even flinch while flames were everywhere :scared:
 
I am wondering why the audis dropped the pace in the night. Did they change compunds?
 
The guy beside the door(not sure if driver or replacing driver's drink) just remained crouched there, 'cause he is badass enough to trust his fire-proofs.:lol:


Scary quick fire though, looked like a fuel error to me...
 
When the flames got under the car with the door open. That was deeply uncomfortable to watch.
 
Wee bit of fire.

There were slow zones for hours and hours, probably haven't found a rhythm yet.

The guy beside the door(not sure if driver or replacing driver's drink) just remained crouched there, 'cause he is badass enough to trust his fire-proofs. He passed some gas from eating too many Brats. FIFY:lol:

Apparently a few guys were rushed to the back of the garage. Hope nobody's hurt.
 
Thank god the pit crew were on top of it with the extinguishers, it could've ended a lot worse than it did.
 
WOW! The fact that the #66 Ferrari team didn't absolutely loose their cool thanks to that fire is awesome! I can't express how much respect I feel for people like that. Instead of panicking, they decide to pull it in to the garage and see what they can salvage. I really wouldn't be surprised if it got back out and kept running (after all the necessary servicing it obviously needs).

EDIT: At 3AM local time none the less!

Have a read through this. #21 Nissan and #97 Aston out, among others.

That link was invaluable, thanks! Now I know what happened to the #17:

11:35PM: The top two in LMP1 are within a second of each other but race control have just announced that the leading #17 Porsche of Mark Webber has to take a one minute stop and go!

11:40PM: Webber has served his one minute penalty, which was handed to him for passing under yellows, and will stop again next time by for his scheduled pit-stop. Marcel Fassler also pitted in the #7 Audi, which means the #19 Porsche of Nico Hulkenburg currently leads.

Didnt a couple of Ferrari's get in trouble at Sliverstone for making some "alterations" to the fuel inlet?

They did lose their cool. It got pretty heated.

It went up in flames.

I am not proud of this. And less so that I've been tree'd to the pun.
 
I am awake now, after that fire. Got one last, cold cup of coffee for the next ~12 hours.
