Very strange to see the front running teams spooked so easily by Safety Cars. In Erebus' case, it was a matter of rushing procedures straight after the SC was called, and in M-Sport's case, they were rushing procedures for a Safety Car that hadn't even been called yet!

To be kind, these mistakes are symptomatic of a very competitive endurance race, and you see it at every level of the sport. It's very easy to bang out a slick, fast, error-free pit-stop when your car is minding its own merry business and comes in on schedule every lap, but when the performance of half a dozen cars or more are so closely matched, the guys on the pitwall will try to get clever - and that's when routines are broken and mistakes are made.

Even Audi Sport Team Joest can get surprisingly sloppy when they're rattled or rushed.

Tried going to the international stream on the website, but no video loads?

I see the dark grey box above the timing where I'm guessing the video player should be, but nothing even attempts to load. There's no video player frame at all, the site isn't still "loading" and I've refreshed 5 or 6 times now and still the same thing.

Anyone else ran into this problem and got it fixed?

That was a bit silly at Griffens.

I got that because its searching for a location and I generally block. Depending on your device, activate and allow location to be picked up by the site/stream and you should be good to go.

Are you on Chrome? Might be worth clearing cached imaged and files and re-starting your browser if you are.

Cheers mate. I thought they did a YouTube live stream last year. Struggling at240 right now but the 1080 possibility is nice!

Edit: hid chat. Holding steady at 1080! Good stuff

tux · 7 Feb 2016, 01:51 (Ref:3612573)

Bentley might as well just leave the body panel off the #31.

fieldodreams79 · 7 Feb 2016, 02:01 (Ref:3612574)

FCY again for the 91 Focus at the exit of the Cutting. Backed into the wall pretty good.

Woah, MUCH better. How didn't I know about this earlier?!

peckstar · 7 Feb 2016, 02:31 (Ref:3612577)

missed a couple of hours, what have i missed?

will we get to 300 laps?

JHamilton · 7 Feb 2016, 02:34 (Ref:3612579)

I haven't posted much because I've got the ol' Chromecast dialed in and this race is enthralling as usual.

Lots.

Don't think we've gotten very long Green running since Crisslsy jinx everything.

Yep, great stuff. Glad you are viewing.

divxx · 7 Feb 2016, 02:59 (Ref:3612583)

What a job by Engel to get #63 back on the lead lap by passing the leaders. You don't see that too often. I thought that car was 4 laps down not long ago.

To elaborate, three? FCYs. Bentley troubles and the front 4 or 5 very close like now.

I don't think they dropped that far back, but they're doing it without a rear diffuser now.

Thanks.

Hopefully some more long green flag runs from here.

Shame there only seems to be 6 left in the outright hunt

Certainly too much attrition at the sharp end of the field for my liking but that's the mountain.

tux · 7 Feb 2016, 03:15 (Ref:3612589)

That stint from the SC coming in to the pitstop from Winkelhock was crazy, on the limit EVERYWHERE.

fieldodreams79 · 7 Feb 2016, 03:35 (Ref:3612591)

Austin Cendric! NO!

Off at Griffins? That's buried in there deep. Too bad.

peckstar · 7 Feb 2016, 03:38 (Ref:3612592)

why would erebus do that, lap down now. wrong time for brake pads in my opinion

Langers · 7 Feb 2016, 03:40 (Ref:3612594)

Wow was not expecting Cindric to get out of the car...

Exactly, especially if they're changing brakes, it's going to be a long stop that would have dropped them to the end of the line anyways, just stay out and make sure you stay on lead lap before coming in. Just like that, Erebus are out of it.

Not sure what you mean.

Hindy reporting he had a flat going into Griffins.
