I do agree that they aren’t going to risk everything. Other than to battle with each other. It might just come naturally. I’ve often been surprised how a couple of seconds comes out of no where.

You can’t turn the wick up now, or save your hybrid energy now, so that reduces this a little. But the empty track and knowing you probably get a couple of clear laps must help.

I need a little more time for the predictions competition.

[Aysedasi]

Fun at Mulsanne Corner!

[Adam43]

A little coming together. Slow zone.

[Adam43]

I meant to say yesterday. They are using the circuit cameras for things like this. While not proper telly quality it works well and I don’t fell like I am missing out. Almost adds to it.

[Adam43]

Glick not on track. Do we know why?

I’d like to see them get more running. I feel they benefit more than most with everyone lap.

[Aysedasi]

No, I haven’t heard yet….

[Toyotats03OUS]

Yes they had an overnight tranny and engine change that might be the reason

[Aysedasi]

Sorensen off again for High Class…. The Mille car stopped too. FCY.

[Toyotats03OUS]

I read it on their IG

Martin Haven generally has no idea what's going on its constantly GG and McNish interrupting and correcting.

Is he the one that was talking yesterday in the later sessions with O.Gavin & GG? If so, he doesn't shut up. I think he likes to hear himself.

[Aysedasi]

Both Glicks just going out….

[Aysedasi]

Oh dear, Dwight has dumped the IDEC…. Nearly took out the G-Drive….

[Mike E]

Poor old IDEC

[Aysedasi]

They don’t have much luck at LM, do they?

I just wish the two car teams would do more to differentiate their cars. Toyota, Glick, United, & GDrive, etc. Paint the whale-tail totally different colors. Do something different. I loved when Audi used red and yellow and different accents!

Seems to mostly be the same guy wrecking their cars. So think it’s bad luck of their own making.

[Aysedasi]

Yep, wouldn’t be so bad if he was fast, but……

[Adam43]

A silly mistake. Off line hard braking trying to still take the racing line.

Time for another coffee and breakfast.

If anyone's wondering why all of a sudden both 007 LMHs suddenly had problems at the start of the session, this could be a clue:

glickenhaus: Practice ended at midnight. We have new engines/gearboxes/suspension/brakes/etc on both cars, and we are fired up and ready for practice and final qualifying tonight.

Loving the underduck Porsche livery! Now that's an art car!

[Adam43]

Yes looks good.

Corvette lost it under braking.
