That was a bit nasty, Ant must have been travelling at something close to 200mph, scary...

Ferrari was absolutely at fault...!

yeah, he is at fault. Just turned in. Should of been looking and the team should of been telling him that a faster LMP1 is closing at a rate of knots. Be easy near 200mph.

Just hope Ant is ok

[Rob]

good work by the Audi team, that is cracking work to get that car back out again in this short time. Big respect for Romain for ripping off the front body work before heading to pits.

What a brilliant race we have on our hands! I won't be leaving the tv tonight! Forza Ferrari!

Safety Car in this lap, let's go!

[Rob]

oh no Delta Wing gone

[458 Italia]

Yep literally shoved off the track. I think any other car would've been able to carry on.

[458 Italia]

#51 is in the lead as Vette #74 pits.

oooppps my mistake, it isn't.

Dont like the safety car rules at Le-Mans, i know big track and alot of cars, but should try n get the leaders together ahead of the slower cars.

We have better fuel mileage than the Vettes and the Aston. Could be looking good come tomorrow afternoon.

Come on Mcnish, he is closing the leaders. Like to see McNish win in the e-tron

[458 Italia]

They should let cars unlap themselves I think or let the highest placed car go to the front of the safety car train.

From what I've seen we can do 15-16 laps before fuel and the others are doing 11-12. I'd like to see Bruni back in the car, he's been getting the best out of it I think.

Yeah I'd like to see McNish win it too.

[458 Italia]

I don't know why they keep saying 14 laps in commentary.

Bruni just hussle that 458 around. Great driver. Vilander is up there with him aswell. Fisi is getting better. I know, think it was when Fisi was in, here he was pushing bit harder too try and make bit more of a gap before the pits.

[Rob]

Audi now 1,2,3

[458 Italia]

You have to be happy with how it's going, I can't fault anyone who's been in the car. The Aston has been dropped for now, a lap down I think, the economy of that car is rubbish we have a pit stop over them now too. Toni lapping well half a lap down on the vette, will be great if we can get a pit stop on them.

[458 Italia]

In some ways it's not the same without peuglol blowing up, but you can only beat what's confront of you

You, sir, rock

[Tifoso]

What a beautiful corner

[Rob]

You, sir, rock

non c'è problema

[Rob]

What a beautiful corner

what corner is that Lou amico mio?

[Tifoso]

How do these guys keep hydrated racing 8 hour stints?

[Tifoso]

I don't know the name. I will try and post when I see it again

[458 Italia]

On of the drivers said the teams make them drink disgusting sports drinks with salts and stuff to keep them hydrated, you often see them swapping out the bottles during stops.

[Rob]

How do these guys keep hydrated racing 8 hour stints?

they dont do 8 hours stints due too safety, a normal stint is 45 minutes. No 1 driver is allowed to drive for 4 hours consecutively, so you get drivers doing 2-3 stints. Sometimes push it right up to the 4 hour mark.

The poor blonde babe looks like she's completely clueless

Ahhh, makes sense. Thanks for being kind to a Le Newbie.

[Tifoso]

Wonder how those two handle?
