Anyone Monkies following it? Live stream here: http://live.lemans-tv.com/ get to pick which car to go on board with if you want. Sadly I think the Deltawing just retired

EDIT: scratch the Deltawing comment. The status just went from Pit to Out to Run, so it's going somewhere

one of the toyota's is out.

 

[scottishmark]

yup but the remaining one is really taking the race to the Audis! Apparently a beast of a crash, both cars upside down, with the Toyota airborne before landing on it's wheels again. Anthony Davidson's been driven off to hospital as a result

A Toyota - Deltawing crash is the ****test thing that could've happened in the race

 

[IH8Rice]

it obviously wasnt intentionally. they probably have zero visibility out the side of those LMP's plus that Delta Wing is small.
its great to see 25 ex-F1 drivers racing this weekend.

ouch. almost as bad as Audi's crash last year

Whats "CDNT"? The Deltawing appears to be back in the race with 75 laps.

they commented on Speed earlier that a lot of the drivers were saying they couldn't see the Delta when on the course because it's so small.

Just like a bicycle or motorcycle.

no idea. where did you see it?


the pit reporter has been pretty funny interacting with the fans. the one French guy who was pestering him didnt like it when he asked him in French if he knew who his father was

If you click on the link thats in the OP, then scroll through the list to the Delta, its listed in its stats under "class". Still shows 75 laps though so maybe its out after all. When I first checked this morning the leader only had something like 18 laps but it already showed the Delta as out, so I don't know how it got all the additional laps.

Super bummed about the Deltawing, I wanted to see it at least finish. Hopefully the team doesn't let this discourage them from further competition. Also sorry to see the Toyotas fall behind, those Audi's can't be winning all the time!

ahh, i see it now. since there wasnt a specific class for it to race in, they allowed them to "participate" and not actually compete with the others for the overall. i believe they allowed it to help showcase new technologies ...maybe it stands for "conditional."


bummed about the Toyota driver who had the bad crash. he tweeted that he broke his back

Ah, I see, I wasn't aware that it wasn't really "racing", so that makes sense.

Hardcore.

Motoyama's attempts to get back into the race while trying to adhere to the rules at Le Mans of not walking too far from your car or being touched by a course marshall

As a LAST effort attempt he should of jumped into the tow/lift tractor and brought his car back to the pits all on his own with that.
