Ok, a new equation for the math guys... at 3 secs a lap, how many laps does it take to make up the extra pit stops that Audi has to make?

What is the longest safety car period at le mans?

by Colonal Keidec Sat 22 Jun 2013 - 15:59

nope it was a 50min safety car

by theboomeranga Sat 22 Jun 2013 - 16:05

ok, quite wet now, around the second chicane

by LastNewtStandin Sat 22 Jun 2013 - 16:06

50 was the Longest ever?

Looked up my own question. 2011 4hr 54mins.
Now thats a caution

by LastNewtStandin Sat 22 Jun 2013 - 16:08

I sort of remember that one, as it caused me some sleep and barely was awake enough to see the finish that year.

by theboomeranga Sat 22 Jun 2013 - 16:16

thats a decent amount of time...
talking about causing sleep, currently 1 am, and started to feel tired, so, i just had a multi vitamin, and carb loaded, so should have energy for a few hours

by Colonal Keidec Sat 22 Jun 2013 - 16:16

no lol the caution earlier was 50 minutes,

by LastNewtStandin Sat 22 Jun 2013 - 16:22

Lol i guessed you miss read the question. Stop giving us brits a bad name.
Were excellent readers :p

Erebus, are you going to try and watch the whole race?
I had a nap an hour in for 40mins and paused the recording. Then each ad break i fast forward gaining 4 mins of missed time. The most useful reason for ad breaks ever Smile

A huge wreck by Allen Simonsen in the Aston on lap 3 resulting in a 50 minute safety car. Some good battles between Audi and Toyota. And a few offs here and there in the on and off sprinkles.

by v Hurricane v Sat 22 Jun 2013 - 16:36

#7 Toyota having issues, but stayed out even after the car dying on the straights.

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Sat 22 Jun 2013 - 16:40

Seems that Toyota #7 may be having throttle control issues... something that many Toyota owners have become familiar with in recent years. Razz

by v Hurricane v Sat 22 Jun 2013 - 16:48

Looks like follow the leader with a Corvette, Aston Martin and Ferrari all going off-course together.

by Dragonsyoung Sat 22 Jun 2013 - 16:48

rather wet on the first turn now. a french newspaper is reporting Allen Simonsen has died.

15min or so for the official report.

by Colonal Keidec Sat 22 Jun 2013 - 16:53

to be honest other than the wreck inside the first 15 mins you missed nothing of importance

I had heard he was conscious. Neutral

I hope that French paper was incorrect, but I had that horrible sinking feeling at the time the wreck happened. Crying or Very sad
