It's raining cats and dogs. What kind of tires is the 1st place Audi on?
 
According to FIA WEC, one side of the track is torrential while one side is dry.
 
My heart rate is a steady 110BPM - I have a resting of 60BPM.

:nervous::nervous::nervous::nervous:
 
Pit straight side looks fine, Indianapolis is a swimming pool.

So where the reports of Toyota spending more on their program than Audi incorrect?

I doubt anyone spends more time and money on an LMP1 program than Audi. Even Toyota.
 
That is very windy weather on the Mulsanne.
 
I'm giddy with excitement!
 
Any updates on the race guys?

True. But weren't Toyota the biggest manufacturer out there a few years ago or something? I'm sure they have the money.

Well that's what I heard, either way Audi dominance is not financial in nature, its an engineering and driver advantage, which they have made for themselves. Remember Audi where the underdog once too and they dominated.
 
11 safety car periods for 6hrs. Wow this is the most safety cars ever during a race. 6 was the next highest in 2009. :crazy:
 
'maybe this frantic final hour won't be as frantic as we thought'

Mainly because half of it was ripped up by a damn safety car? :grumpy:
 
I think Simonsens passing shook the ACO so they haven't taken as many risks this race, hence more and extended safety cars.
 
perhaps this Safety Car paranoia can be connected to Simonsen's death?

... tree'd by Furi lol
 
Its not good when you look at your feet and see the Christian Horner ankle syndrome in action. :nervous:
 
Don't worry the TS 030 will still be faster than the R18 in GT6 because of GT's Japanese bias.
 
6 hours of safety cars? This has got to be one of the most boring Le Mans ever, without even talking about what happened at the start of the race ):
 
About to start this up for the final ten minutes.

Audi were never really an underdog. They simple continued their LMP program in 2000 when all of the competition left the sport. It was Toyota vs Mercedes vs BMW. When all of them left, Audi suddenly found themselves racing at Le Mans from 2000 onwards without any competition from another works team. If anything, Audi probably only has ever been an underdog for a podium position in 1999 with the R8R.
