Wow, I'm a huge F1 fan and all, but when Le Mans is going, I don't give a damn about practice and qualifying. When the race starts, you'll know the result of the Quali, so what's it matter? There's so much that you can miss in the hours that the coverage is broken!
Someone shoot me.. Now that French channel swapped to golf.
Luckily there is radio Le Mans which I used for audio and muted that French commentating. This has nice background music also (sounds of cars driving past the main straight)
Watched it all night almost, took 2 hour sleep though
I hope Audi would have some problems just to see closer finishing between it and "PURGEEON" (on Speedtv they can't spell it?)... still 7 hours to go and in Le Mans everything is possible
i kinda doubt it remember the year when the changed the entire rear suspension + gearbox just to be sure ?
unless one of the drivers makes a huge mistake id say joest is way too well organized to be beaten by a bunch of frog eaters
Oh man... what a bummer. I hope we can see a better battle for Peugeot now... plz plz plz.
Funny the team leader of Audi turns around and about to go on a witch hunt for the pitcrew guy that would've messed up when bolting that onto the car....
Easy... Go to SCORE, click the link that says Chat.
A JAVA Program will open where you can enter your preffered chat name. Click connect and you should be in the channel. IRC never was easier.
like Deggis said. Le Mans is Le Mans. Everything can happen at the last minute. There is only one Audi left, the Peugeot had some minor problems in the previous hours. Everything can happen, even a Pescarolo win (which would be well deserved), especially with the current weather forecast.
In 52, Levegh was leading the race in his Talbot, 3 laps of advantage over the Mercedes boys. He just missed a gear, put the 2nd instead of the 4th gear, and the race was over for him in the last hour.
By the way, I know those guys are supposed to be professionnal and that a lot of money is involved, but that Dr Wolfgang Ulrich looks kinda suspicious to me. He looks like a torture master, and the mechanics seem all frightened. I don't think maintaining a fear among your team will make it faster / more reliable.
They have the right to have some fun and pleasure for god sake !
