Through a combination of old age and a small bought of consumption, I fell asleep at midnight (1am race time). Can someone bring me up to date on the big events please?

Reliability v Speed. I know which one I would have.

Yeah, pretty much the same as me Becky, i could use a re cap too...

As far as I can tell Pug #2 was leading and had an engine fire, not sure what's happened with Pug #1 but that had some kind of accident with the Corvette leading GT2, Pug #1 is hunting down the Audi's and the 'Vette is running but out of contention.

HPD still 1-2 in LMP2 and the GT1 with least problems is a Saleen, followed by an Aston Martin.

Aston Martin are still the top LMP1 in the Green X Challenge with the HPD's leading overall.

Well, to be honest nohing much did happen. Was quite a calm night.

Ford GT Mantech got bummed out of the lead.
A Pescarolo Judd smashes the barrier hard. Front left completely gone.
Anthony Davidson collects a backmarker and spins out inot the gravel trap. Quickly recovered though, not much lost.
No.4 Pug Oreca pushed back into the garage. Lost 15mins or so. Broken drivetrain fishbone
And then ofcourse the lead Pug starts shooting out flames.
No.2 Pug collects the GT1 Corvette which was leading its class.

There was obviously some small incidents as well, but thats basically the main events.

Cheers DevilDare

Yeah thanks, i'll consider myself up to date

Impatience for both tbh, wrecked corvette's chances too - wanker

Woah that marshall on the apex whilst they recovered the 009 car is insane! Totally the wrong place to stand as he forced the cars to go wider... straight into the path of the other marshalls and the Aston...

That was so lucky there wasn't anyone hurt.

Or letting the 009 car go again leaving parts everywhere.

Well speaking of stupid personnel. Yesterday a photographer walked (backwards) into a prototype which was leaving the pitlane... He ended up with a broken leg...

Corvette didn't even touch him according to Davidson.

Haha. Anthony Davidson to RLM - "I dont care. I will take as many risks as required to win this damn thing"

Actually I agree with Davidson that it wasn't hit fault. The Corvette had lost the line and should not have entered so quickly.

The reason it didn't was simply because Collard was caught unawares as he didn't expect Davidson to pass, but that's not Davidsons fault.

Good on him for honesty, its not his fault racing hard makes you the bad guy these days. :rolleyes:

Seriously, the Corvette spun by itself, probrably because the driver wasn't looking in his mirrors and paniced when he was suddenly confronted with an overtaking car. Which wouldn't be suprising, everyone must be fairly tired now even with some rest.

Hehehe, tempers flaring on RLM, John Hindhaugh being his very outspoken self.
