He did well to get that stopped….

Kobayashi yikes...

[Adam43]

Well done Kamui was not hitting anything. Phew!

[broadrun96]

Well let's see how the 20 min P2 advantage lasts.


That got me back awake a bit and if Conway has any luck it's all bad and delivered via falling anvil

[kobefly]

I hope that was Kamui's mistake and not Toyota's braking issues again.

My stream, having gone bananas backwards again has now frozen…

[broadrun96]

Ok, glad that wasn't just me. I rebooted the iPad and the app and was still reversing at high speed and now watching a frozen on board

Nothing happened or did the TV director just not see it?

[Aysedasi]

No, there were no mechanics polishing cars to film…..

I can remember way back when with I think it was Binnie Motorsports was filmed cleaning and polishing their 675 car in the garage

Course that made sense as 675s seemed to fail if you looked sideways at them and they were leading the few remaining cars and wanted a shiny clean car, and not break.

Toyota doing pulling the lawnmower cord exercises?

#7	11	12	8	9	15	13	15	12	14	7	13	9	13	13	13
#8	10	13	13	13	15	7	11	12	15	15	13	11	13	13
#36	12	12	12	13	13	12	6	11	10	12	13	10	7	12	12
#708	10	13	12	13	14	12	15	14	12	13	13	13	12	13
#709	9	13	13	13	13	13	5	13	14	3	11	13	13	13	13

The 3rd and 4th stint might be off for some as there is a missing pit stop for every car other than #7. Apparently, Buemi and Dumas did 26 laps and Negrao and Mailleux did 25 laps!
Still no uninterrupted running.

Green	8:36:31
Yellow	0:40:43
FCY	0:02:33
SC	1:32:50
Slow Zone	1:50:03

It is slightly better than "wife cam" in Nascar or "Wayne Taylor angry or crying cam" in IMSA.

They've got the Toyota mechanics doing their cal esthetics.

Just spent the last 3 hours drinking free beer watching men and women in tights ride bikes in the biggest night Criterium in the US and maybe the world. What I miss?
