Enough already!!! he is doing it again before I even finished typing this message!!!

I haven't watched Speedtv's coverage unmuted since about 5 years ago.

Eurosport does have some good guys as well but RLM is the best.

didn't say it did but i can understand andy's predicament. i was once in my road going pug 106 (1.1l) on a track day with a GT3-spec Ferrari 360. i looked in my mirror and saw nothing. looked again about 5s later and its full of the 360. at those closing speeds its hard to be the slower car and and keep out of the way, its the faster cars responsibility to make it safely thru.

if tom had reacted more to the flag he'd have got thru on the inside. as a marshal it ****es me off that drivers don't pay more attention to what we are trying to tell them...

With the actual pace of the race, they'll brake the distance record this year (at last)...

Holt · 12 Jun 2010, 18:09 (Ref:2710074)

I think Pruett is very justified in his comments. Look how many 908s and R15s have been trashed all in the first quarter of this and last years race

How many times do you hear these drivers call this race a 24 hour sprint?

Last year Luhr/Rockenfeller one of them trashed the R15 at the same place Kristensen went off. In fact I remember Kristensen almost hitting a car in the same spot early Sunday Mourning last year

Then you had someone in the #3 R15 go off on what was it lap 3 of the race and ruin the race foreveryone?!

This year you have Lamy destroying the suspension/tub whatever by murdering the curbs and you have Kristensen taking chances with a slow car

Pruett knows what hes talking about hes won a few 24 hour races himself

No chance

Danish media has just talked to Tom K.
What he said was that the BMW had been in the right side of the Porsche curves when he arrived, and he therefor took the left side of the corner, but suddenly Andy Prioux switched to the left side of the track closing off Tom, so he had to go way to the left.
If you look at the footage you can see this is correct (The BMW is at the left side at the beginning of the Porsche Curves and then changes over to the Left side, blocking Tom), and the person to blame is clearly Andy Prioux, who did not drive professionally!

fire ford gt, the ladies car

gwyllion · 12 Jun 2010, 18:12 (Ref:2710079)

The female Ford GT is on fire.

airbusA346 · 12 Jun 2010, 18:12 (Ref:2710080)

Ford on fire!!!!!!

Tom.

gwyllion · 12 Jun 2010, 18:15 (Ref:2710081)

Capello is complaining about vibrations on the car. So the car is not properly repaired. Expect more repair time at one stage in the race. Their chance of victory is gone.

In my opinion there was enough room for him to pass on the right.When the BMW moved to the left Tom continued pushing further to the left.

We would be easily on a 400 lap pace if it werent for Mansell forcing the martials to carry his fat *** out of the car. What a drama queen, I remember the same crap at Indianapolis '94

Looks like they may get around 95 laps through the first 25% despite that extended safety car

You cant make such a sudden change when you are going +300km/h!, which many forget when they blame Tom K.

NightStalk3r · 12 Jun 2010, 18:21 (Ref:2710087)

He shouldn't have been doing that speed with waived white flags.

Hahaha, yah. Every once in awhile there is an interview or piece of action on the video that RLM aren't discussing and I want to hear what is going on, so I have been switching to Speed periodically.

What else could Tom do? When he made the decision to overtake the BMW from the left, it was too late to back off. If Priaulx would have paid more attention on his mirrors, he could have left some room for Kristensen to pass.

airbusA346 · 12 Jun 2010, 18:23 (Ref:2710095)

Shame it isn't the #4.

slowed down for a WHITE FLAG.

Marco keeps turning good times in the Highcroft car low 3:40's consistently.
