They didn't actually. It was the 009 Aston Martin. Stewart Hall was excluded for crashing another car, which left only Harold Primat and Peter Kox to drive. Then Primat spun and crashed out. Result: DNF on lap 252.

David Richards is not happy about the situation: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/76192

He is talking about the Kolles audi that Kartikaein(?) was meant to drive but popped his shoulder.

Drat! Speedtv stream now offline, is the Eurosport coverage just going to show us a shot of the pitlane from now on?

Glad i invested £4 in eurosport player No adds natural sound stream in very good quality too.

radiator problem like last year

Edit: looks like more than that

Quote from Becky Rose :

Yah but when we where onboard with the Pug behind it every corner Jan was breaking past apexes, and the 008 Aston has gotten ahead, everytime I look at the live timing it's 1-4 seconds slower than the 008 Aston. It's the first time i've seen this driver, and i'm a bit gutted he's in a car I want to do well - ho hum.

He isn't a pro driver like the rest of the guys in the team, he brings and has brought a lot of the funding that supports and supported the lola development from last season. He is usually about 1 second off the other driver, stefan mucke so at le mans he is probably 3/4 seconds off his pace.

Having said that, his last lap is only 2 seconds off of davidson's

The aston is very twitchy under braking. It's the reason it's crashed 3 times before the race and you can actually see it twitching a lot too.

My predictions for this years le mans

LMP1 - 8 Peugeot
LMP2 - 31 Essex Porsche
GT1 - 63 Corvette
GT2 - 82 Risi Competizione Ferrari

My reason for the Peugeot, I think that the number 8 team have the pace and reliablility in the drivers and car now, expecially considering the Audi seemingly poor reliability. however that could of been audi preparing themselves for all situations as usual, in which case LMP1 will go to audi and number 1.

LMP2 is quite comfortabley the essex porsche. Last year they were the only team that could take it to the van merkstein car and this year, i dont see team goh taking it to them, despite how close qualifying was i dont think the driver line-up is as good.

GT1 Corvette will take the top spots as long as they finish and dont destroy each other. I think the 63 vette has the stronger driver line up there.

GT2 is just so close to call really, so i'm just gonna stick with last years winners but if it's not them, it's gonna be 77 felbermayr i think

Just watched four brothers. Best movie i seen in a long while, The acting is a bit off at times but its nothing that'll make u facepalm. The story is great and has enough comedy action and then emotional stuff, it's a really nice balance.

Quote from Sueycide_FD :

i can't remember chevy having one last year at Lemans, but Corvette Motorsports had one for their GMAC cars at Spa last year.

ye corvette, same thing just thought it was at le mans.

Only one i can see is speed, i think it's free.

More info here:

Also can get it from eurosport for £30 or sumthing, i can't remember. But that lasts the whole year and you can watch every race in le mans series live and uncut.

Quote from Sueycide_FD :

ATM im trying to find a pitstream. There's always some team kind enough to set one up.

Didn't chevy have one one year? onboards too. I might of confused it with a video though.

Quote from DevilDare :

In my opinion, a big team in terms of numbers does no help for the team. I could never be proud to be a driver in a teams with 20 million members because it just wouldn't feel special, but to be a member in a team with just 10-15 or even less, thats special imo. It means you have achieved something and been recognised by the team to be worth having. Not to say anybody in SR isn't any good, but i wouldn't feel so proud to be in a team like that as i do in 3id or would in SK, Merc F1rst, n! and such.

My my, what has the world come to?

Quote from Intrepid :

Can someone just confirm something for me

In the last 20-30 years how many titles have been won that don't have an Adrian Newey or Ross Brawn influence?

Renault 05-06. any more?

Lets face facts these two guys ARE F1...

err 07 and 08?

aren't any teams running onboards?

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

Quote from Intrepid :

Why is Hamilton going so light?

prolly a long middle stint. He is gonna get held up doign the same strategy as everyone else so pit early and get some fast laps in. Thats my guess, i think piquet did it in germany last year too? It was definatly a renault at some race anyway.
