Big thanks to GT Planet as well, for hosting this every year. You guys are great. :cheers:

Good night. :)
 
Thanks again to everyone for a great 24 Hours.

RIP Allen Simonsen. :(
 
Thanks GTplanet for the updates and discussion on watching this years Le Mans. I hope to see you all next year.

Also R.I.P Allan
 
Race in peace, Allan Simonsen. You are a great man.
 
Might the ACO play the Danish national anthem, after this? That would at least be really grateful.
 
There's the podium. Such an odd sighting, a japanese flag in there.
 
They're waving the central german flag upside down :lol:.

Also, great to see Pescarolo Sport flags being waved on the track. ALLEZ PESCAROLO!

Yeah. Its been a long while.
 
next year I want Toyota wins Le Mans.
 
the other two flags are German.

maybe those flags correspond to the manufacturer, not the drivers....
 
It's been one lengthy race (first time I've sat through more than half of it. I spent the first 10 hours or so not sleeping and not knowing Le Mans was even on. :banghead: Came out to find that Allan Simonsen had passed away in the race... (R.I.P Allan Simonsen) It's a shame that Aston Martin couldn't win in their class for Allan, and it's a shame that there were so many safety cars. But it was an interesting race for sure. It's been really fun watching the race and sharing the experience here at GTP. :cheers:
 
The flags are for the manufacturers. Is the upside down flag on purpose for mourning? An upside-down American flag means danger or emergency. Is it that way for Germany too? Or just spiteful French?

I don't think so :D
 
gt academy team made a great 4th place.
 
Nah, stupid Eurosport commentators.

"Jacky Ickx is Mr. Le Mans even though TK has more victories".

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Mr. Le Mans is Henri Pescarolo, no discussion :D
 
Jacky Ickx is a legend.

Nothing more, nothing less can be said about that man.

4th? Thought they got 3rd after the big incident with two cars.
 
Woot!! Audi!!
I couldn't stay up towards the end. Went to bed to catch the end
 
Great words by TK. Really disappointed by the Aston guys, can't believe they had such a clear shot at the win and blew it.

Oh, no doubt about it. Not trying to take away anything from him other than the Mr. Le Mans tittle because I seriously think it is more fitting for Henri Pescarolo. After all, Henri has been at Le Mans as a driver, as team owner and today all his efforts are still guided by nothing else than passion for the track at La Sarthe. Gosh, he even based his team at La Sarthe.
 
They should do it for Allen, Tom and all Danes.

RIP Allen, you will be missed. :(

Enjoy folks, my parting gift to the 2013 24 Hours of Le Mans. The finish of the winning Audi R18 #2, the 2nd place finishing Toyota TS030 #8, and the Aston, for reasons we all sadly know.

Its been a pleasure to discuss this at length with you all, once again, love watching Le Mans with GTP :)👍 :gtpflag:

Now bring on 2014, Audi, Toyota, and Porsche. :drool:


On a side, note, this race I shall solely remember in the memory of Allan Simonsen. Race In Peace.


(Apologies for the poor quality, best I could muster from the live streams.)
 
I found it really nice how the 3 podium spots were all united by one thing.

It's sad that it was by death :(
 
Imma pass out now cuz ive been up the full 24 with just 4 hours of sleep in the day before that.

Thank's for the fun guy's .
