cost would be huge for 8 mile circuit don't think aco could afford it

by **LMR DarthMario** Sun 23 Jun 2013 - 9:31

still looks far safer than what they have now. (googled after i asked about the tecpro's Razz

)

Couldn't place it in key locations? Like Tetre Rouge, the Chicanes, Mulsanne corner, and possibly the Porsche Curves?

by **Richy59** Sun 23 Jun 2013 - 9:33

The thing is, I know its a public road and such but those guardrails down the mulsanne are so thin and flimsy looking - and was unfortunately proven early in the race.

by **Richy59** Sun 23 Jun 2013 - 9:33

Can't put a price on safety.

by **CQR Rogue** Sun 23 Jun 2013 - 9:34

maybe sro and fia will take action but its the white lines / rumble strip causing the issues here not barriers, could be paint compound when they painted lines not armco

by **CQR Rogue** Sun 23 Jun 2013 - 9:35

yep lets hope they come up with safer barriers fast parts etc

by **CQR Rogue** Sun 23 Jun 2013 - 9:35

raining once more

by Hailfire97x Sun 23 Jun 2013 - 9:36

Same thing could have happened in Tetre Rouge should someone have had a tyre failure, steering failure, or stuck throttle.

by **Richy59** Sun 23 Jun 2013 - 9:39

Rain, rain, rain.

Stayed up all night for some safety cars, but c'mon 92 Porsche! #BG Wingnut Wink

All these long rebuild-the-barrier safety car periods are making me sleepy. Sleep

As for the cost of Tecpro barriers, replacing all this armco can't be cheap either.

Least we're racing now!

by Hailfire97x Sun 23 Jun 2013 - 9:54

Don't worry, I fell asleep earlier myself. All I managed to miss was 30 minutes of safety car, the explosion of a car into flames (apparently), and another safety car.

If you need sleep, don't worry--you won't miss anything Razz

Flames?

What happened to the Rebellion?

The Rebellion lost it coming out of the 2nd Mulsanne Chicane. Heavy front damage.

The Level 5 HPD is dumping fuel into the exhaust while in the pits, spewing flames out the back and when it starts-up is shoots out huge fireballs.

very very strange le mans this 1 so far not to sure what I make of it still feel absolutely numb from the start but Radio Le Mans have been absolutely professional, knowing how small the paddock community is its a terrible shame.

Crack of lightning and thunder from the Audi #1 on-board through the Ford Chicanes.

Edit: Toyota claiming Audi have at least 50 more hp.

Unsafe releases by AF Rolling Eyes

Come on Darren (sorry I love Porsche) But AMR earned this!

Gap between 1st and 2nd in GTE is wavering around 8 seconds.

by F4H Drake Sun 23 Jun 2013 - 10:20

#3 Audi is really pushing, down into the 25s again.

Eurosport comms coverage is just about as delayed as TORA live comms Razz
