ICEYOU.

This is run on normal public roads. They can't just put up a safer barrier.

Also, did you guys see the wind shield cleaner on the Aston pit stop? Another brilliant performance.

They put up temporary armco, a few layers of foam behind that would not be difficult AT ALL. Especially if it can save lives.

Alex Brundle ?
Where was Martin's grid walk? REFUND!
 
In slightly bright news, Aston Martin is leading the GTE Pro class with #97 driven by Mücke. A pesky Manthey Porsche is 2nd, and Makowiecki in Aston #99 is 3rd.

The guys from Gaydon better give their all for a win.
 
Toyota's windscreen washer is also working very well. 👍
 
Watching the speed stream did they even mention him? they're commentating as if nothing has happened.

They mentioned he died about 10 minutes ago.

Close for the P2 cars at the Mulsanne corner
 
Baekdal's live timing shows Treluyer is inside the lead Audi right now. Boutsen LMP2 spun but no contact.
 
That's the #40 car spun.. Lucky he didn't get collected.
 
Such a terrible accident. I thought he would be okay when they said that he was conscious, really sad to hear that he didn't make it.

They have a job to do. It's sad news, but they have to keep on going.

I've always thought that if I could get into motorsports, I could do that. I'm very tempted to apply to Audi. :lol:

Good to see we'll have another battle up front, very soon.

The guy currently commentating on Eurosport, I can't remember his name (he does it every year), whilst talking about it you could hear him welling up. It's sad news that none of us want to hear but he's got a job to do, and he has to carry on doing it professionally.

How much do they get payed, I wonder? :lol:
 
You need window cleaning experience for this type of job
 
TOYOTA Racing @Toyota_Hybrid
Current conditions: air temp 17°C, track temp 19°C, 81% humidity #LM24 #24LM #Toyota #FIAWEC
 
That really would be a great job. I would practice until I was the best windscreen washer there ever was.
 
Dr. Ulrich yawning, I guess that says it all really :lol:
 
The FIA WEC time gaps are confusion, its difficult to figure out how far behind the Toyota's P1s are. It looks like their both a lap down? They should just give the actual gaps instead of gap to the next car

It updates whenever a car crosses the line. Confusing though.
 
Eurosport showing some GT action for a change.

There's a lack of sector times which causes that.
 
Is there any other live timing board besides the one on the 24's official website?
 
Wait. Who died? What team/car was he in? When did the accident happen?

The timing Eurosport is showing has everyone but the lead car one lap down.
