Great Ferrari reliability now too

Mullen's Ferrari stopped in S1... ran out of fuel, maybe?

Taxi645 · 11 Apr 2010, 13:25 (Ref:2670690)

Give it a rest guys. BTW, no safety car yet. Spyker:
"Peter is in the box. Front splitter damaged and right rear wheel nut seems to be locked."

Sorry i know i could have worded my original posts better, and i am grateful we have some live coverage its just frustrating that Eurosport say a program is going to start at 1pm and it starts 25 minutes early and the only way we find out that its started early is through an internet forum.

And at Arakis, it takes only 1 Porsche to win a race

No, i think we will leave it in there for now.

Anyone anywhere in the south of France, is it raining where you are?

Thumper · 11 Apr 2010, 13:31 (Ref:2670695)

The clouds are certainly gathering here over Le Castellet. The last I heard (a few minutes ago) is that we an expect the wind to start picking up soon, making it blustery down the Mistral, and then perhaps rain to set in for the final hour. Mind you, we've had worse forecasts that came to nothing!

If anyone's following LMP2, there's a live commentary feed on the RML team website.

Taxi645 · 11 Apr 2010, 13:32 (Ref:2670696)

Tom back in the Spyker and good lap right away. Think leading Porsche isn't pushing the car as much as the Ferrari's.

EDIT, OMG, 2.00.192 lap for Tom in the Spyker, that's almost 0.7s off their original lap record. Perhaps the temperature drop along with more splitter downforce or some set up changes made a difference.

Victor_RO · 11 Apr 2010, 13:32 (Ref:2670697)

#76 Porsche back out on track.

911targa · 11 Apr 2010, 13:32 (Ref:2670698)

well,please remember the Extreme Speed's F430 in ALMS--a 2010 new car was on fire at Sebring.Most of GT3RSR used this year are built in 2009,so we couldn't expect they race like a new car.Porsche is concentrating on 991RSR i guess,or we should see a 2nd gen 997RSR this year replace the RSR based on 1st gen 997

NightStalk3r · 11 Apr 2010, 13:35 (Ref:2670699)

96 and 95 really giving it all guns blazing, would expect 1 or both of them to end up on a flat bed by the end of the race.

90 mixing in now as well, pace wise.

EDIT: 01min 59.485 s now by Kaffer.

Victor_RO · 11 Apr 2010, 13:38 (Ref:2670704)

#91 officially retired.

911targa · 11 Apr 2010, 13:39 (Ref:2670705)

i think the DNF car shouldn't be on live scream.it's difficult to tell whether a car is out or on track

Too far back to do anything with those times though, 96 and 95 are crapping there pants because unless they pull out a full pitstops worth of a gap then the BMW will be ahead of them both at the finish.

Before I open this link and give my laptop another wonderful virus, does this work?

Withdrawal : electronic problem - Lola B09 Coupé - Judd (No 29)

Victor_RO · 11 Apr 2010, 13:41 (Ref:2670709)

And #77 looks to be on a similar fuel strategy to the BMW, they're both on only 3 pitstops so far.

Noted a page ago from the French live timing.

AWOL getting into #25, if the driver rotation goes like that.

Yup, but still quite a few lap to go, you never know. About RLM and all raving about M3 efficiency, not that much in it compared to the Porsche it seems, at least not a full stops worth at the end of the race.

911targa · 11 Apr 2010, 13:46 (Ref:2670711)

Long has just pass a CRS,now#88 is ahead of both CRS Ferrari,if RIED won't handle this car,hopefully they could finish in top5

NightStalk3r · 11 Apr 2010, 13:47 (Ref:2670712)

either live timing is screwed or 77 is stopped out on track.

Victor_RO · 11 Apr 2010, 13:49 (Ref:2670714)

#77 had a pitstop, last lap 4:53. BMW pits on the same lap.
