Lizards day is done according to their blog

I just noticed, during Speed's review of the race, that the right side of the Pescarolo Peugeot's cockpit was actually compromised. It seems that it basically ripped off the lower half of the door as I could actually see into the cockpit while the car was on the crane.

Pescarolo however say that they've talked to Treluyer and he's OK.

Off Le Mans website:

"During Darren Law's stint, and under the Safety Car situation, it appears that the car went straight through the Playstation chicane. The Flying Lizard Motorsport Porsche is badly damaged. The impact was so strong that many tyres from the tyre wall were spread on the track. The marshals are clearing up the mess. In
31st overall and 6th in LM GT2 before the accident, it's not yet certain if Darren Law will be able to make it to the chequered flag. "

bit early for this but will Peugeot risk a 1-2 and have a fight to the end?

doing 27s when a cruisy 3.30 would seem enough.

And yet Seth Neiman was at the wheel of #80 when the second caution came out, I thought? He was on RLM after and everything. The Darren Law incident seems to be seperate.

If Flying Lizard's out, that leaves only the #76 IMSA for Porsche to try and fight off all 10 Ferraris...

MJ_N_09 · 14 Jun 2009, 04:11 (Ref:2482566)

Yep, the 80 is an official retirement.

It's their strongest one if I am not mistaken.

The359 · 14 Jun 2009, 04:12 (Ref:2482569)

Ah, it seems the #75's stop-go penalty was for ignoring the red light at the end of pit lane during the safety car.

pach233 · 14 Jun 2009, 04:16 (Ref:2482573)

Anybody have a stream going right now?

HORNDAWG · 14 Jun 2009, 04:19 (Ref:2482575)

Yep.

The359 · 14 Jun 2009, 04:26 (Ref:2482579)

Make it 9 Ferraris, the Hankook Farnbacher car is retired.

rich07 · 14 Jun 2009, 04:28 (Ref:2482580)

How come? Thats a massive shame.

supermario21 · 14 Jun 2009, 04:29 (Ref:2482581)

What happened to the Kolles cars??!! They were running a perfect race and are now down to 8th and 9th, when they were 5th and 6th just a few minutes ago

Holt · 14 Jun 2009, 04:30 (Ref:2482582)

Here is a very high quality stream

The359 · 14 Jun 2009, 04:45 (Ref:2482588)

#14 was having gearbox problems, #15 needed front axle repairs after offroading.

pach233 · 14 Jun 2009, 04:46 (Ref:2482589)

Kolles seems to have had a c*appy half hour or so, both cars have really fallen off now, not sure why.

edit: 359 beat me to it, stilll unfortunate because they were running well.

MJ_N_09 · 14 Jun 2009, 04:46 (Ref:2482590)

I dont believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Spyker is still running!!!!!!!

Flyin Ryan · 14 Jun 2009, 04:49 (Ref:2482591)

Per Le Mans timing, here's all official retirements:

#17 Pescarolo Peugeot
#80 Flying Lizard Porsche
#89 Hankook-Farnbacher Porsche
#6 LNT Ginetta-Zytek
#2 Audi
#41 GAC Zytek
#70 IMSA Performance Porsche
#72 Luc Alphand Corvette
#40 Quifel ASM Ginetta-Zytek
#77 Felbermayr Proton Porsche
#68 JLOC Lamborghini

And I don't think there's any hope for the #26 Bruneau Radical to be officially classified at the end. It's 157 laps down.

Since I'm here, here's some further times for the leaderboards. As of 12:45am EST:

1. #9 Peugeot
2. #8 Peugeot +3:05 (tail end)
3. #1 Audi +1 lap (tail end)
4. #007 Aston Martin +6 laps
5. #11 Oreca (great run) +8 laps

25. #92 JMW Ferrari +37 laps
26. #76 IMSA Performance Porsche +37 laps
27. #78 AF Corse Porsche +39 laps

supermario21 · 14 Jun 2009, 04:54 (Ref:2482592)

I'm still waiting for the Lola Astons and lead Oreca to fall off, and Kolles #14 can rebound as Lotterer is running faster than all of the cars in front of him with the exception of 008

Ultimo · 14 Jun 2009, 04:58 (Ref:2482594)

I have now been up since 6:30 AM EST with about 3 hours of sleep and now its 1 AM EST. I am pretty dead right now. Here's to all the people pushing through to make it for the full 24 hours!

I am not sure I'm gonna make it!

The359 · 14 Jun 2009, 05:00 (Ref:2482595)

ACO lists the #10 Oreca as retired because they've damaged the extractor (eh?) and have no more spares. Which probably means the #11 could be in trouble too.

Wow that's going to be tough to make

I woke up at 8:30 est with about 6 hours of sleep. I feel pretty fresh. I think I can make it.

Also, Gene didn't have a visor or glasses to deal with the sun, that could explain why his pace dropped off

ash1751 · 14 Jun 2009, 05:07 (Ref:2482597)

good morning.

Thought I was close to giving up earlier, but been up since hour before green and still have 3 red bull left and now the doors open to cool the room down so think I should be good. The chat room does help some too
