Wait. They call Darren Turner Dazzle?
Turner made quick work of Fisi.

I want Bruni in the 51, Senna in the 97, Mako in the 92 and Gavin in the 74 for the last stint of the race.

I'll have to take your words for it. I guess I may just notice it more on the Corvettes as I'm a big fan of theirs.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

458 sounds really good on the downshifts. The 911 sounds really good, oddly enough on the pitlane limiter in my mind...

Nissan I think.

This has to be one of the cleanest races I care to remember at Le Mans.

Outside of the rain we basically had no crashes or even spins for that matter. Funny how the qualifying sessions had so many issues yet the race is running smoothly.

Its been in the US forever in the NFL, NASCAR tried it until it fell on the track and was struck by a car. The snapped wires injured some fans. Havent seen it since.

The irony of motorsport.

That's why I think a quadcopter would be a good idea. One person flying around a quadcopter with a stabilised camera attached could get shots that we've never had before - they could even fly just above the track, just above the height of the cars. The idea of those camera angles is pretty exciting.

Yep, I believe they have been using something similar for the Bathurst 1000 since at least 1990's and possibly much earlier. Surprised that F1 and Le Mans only starting to use them just now.

If we dont get a safety car soon then #97 will also go into the box to change brakes. they said (actually it was the engineer of #99 but same team) they would aim to do it between 10pm and 2am if they get SC.

kaivo · 15 Jun 2014, 02:49 (Ref:3421290)

5 sleep and gap is still 1.40 -2 min.

They just left the pits with a routine stop, so it'll be 45min-1hr unless a SC period.

#92 also just did a routine stop, no brakes.

Articus · 15 Jun 2014, 02:51 (Ref:3421292)

Hartley is messing about with Nakajima!! That Porsche is sooo quick down the straight. He pulls away from the Toyota the same rate the Toyota leaves the Audi.

They (#97) will stretch it as far as they can because right now they are building a nice lead.

Starting to get light!

Articus · 15 Jun 2014, 02:55 (Ref:3421294)

Davidson's in the #8 Toyota. No wonder they shut down the onboard camera just now...

airbusA346 · 15 Jun 2014, 02:59 (Ref:3421295)

#7 stopped.

tux · 15 Jun 2014, 03:00 (Ref:3421297)

Wow #7!!!!
