Mcnish going out of the race could have been the best thing for the 2 car, his engineer H has been assisting the 2s engineer. He is great at making the right calls in these conditions.

Also,I've no idea if #51 can finally make the line,especially after the teamwork,will the car restart?Will the engine allows?Will they keep on track pace safe?

The #2 has a huge team to do strategy. Leena Gade has been assisted by Brad Ketler since the beginning. Now the whole Joest team is helping her

I think they will be ok with the engine, it sounds more electrical than mechanical but the worrying thing is every Ferrari has had clutch or diff issues, those with the clutch had to change, those with diff retired.

Woops for #51.

Tom.

Yeah! problem for the audi is if he slows down in the wetter sections the tyres will lose the heat

Lizards are asking if Long wants new tyres.

OMG PESCAROLO NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

airbusA346 · 12 Jun 2011, 10:48 (Ref:2896852)

Pesca big crash.

Tom.

AUSRSR · 12 Jun 2011, 10:48 (Ref:2896853)

Oh no disaster for Pesco

jet · 12 Jun 2011, 10:48 (Ref:2896854)

big off pescarolo

haribo · 12 Jun 2011, 10:48 (Ref:2896855)

A big shunt for the Pescarolo - It looks like it's VERY slippery out there. Such a shame for Pescarolo :'(

**GTRMagic** · 12 Jun 2011, 10:48 (Ref:2896856)

#16 Goes in... Wrecked

Pesca

NightStalk3r · 12 Jun 2011, 10:49 (Ref:2896857)

transmision diff is outsorced, I guess michelotto wll have to react in future races, Melo said in the gining of the race, that the car never did a 24h simuation run and they are unsur of its reliability, I guess they are sure now

alexkiller8 · 12 Jun 2011, 10:50 (Ref:2896860)

mmm maybe nicolet will give the #49 chassis to pescarolo team to compete in LMS if the actual car has damages on tub

FordCosworthPanoz · 12 Jun 2011, 10:51 (Ref:2896861)

Dammit, Pescarolo off. Good day for Rebellion 12 though, but a horrible result for a tip five for sure run.

AUSRSR · 12 Jun 2011, 10:52 (Ref:2896862)

Pugs gambling on tyres.

Yeah. these things can happen with new cars, for sure Ferrari will learn and improve. Look at the Porsches, even now the cars are still having problems.

Lizards dont have any intermediates, only full wet or slick. They have chosen to stay on slicks because the wets will be destroyed

airbusA346 · 12 Jun 2011, 10:53 (Ref:2896864)

Is #56 still going round?

Tom.

The Badger · 12 Jun 2011, 10:54 (Ref:2896865)

Awwww ..... Pesca is out . Henri looks like a wounded puppy ..... Im gutted .

Are you superstitious

I just made my own assumption,you can make your own since you like.

Sounds like they are in pits

airbusA346 · 12 Jun 2011, 10:57 (Ref:2896868)

How long until #2 is due to come back in for fuel?

Tom.

haribo · 12 Jun 2011, 10:57 (Ref:2896869)

Lotterer is taking it very, very gently through the Porsche curves. As a result, Pagenaud is taking chunks of time out of him. This is very exciting!!!!
