Anyone want to have an ALMS Long Beach viewing party tomorrow night?

Race starts at 4:30 pm PST / 8:30 pm EST / 1:30 am GMT. TV/Radio coverage will probably start a little earlier than that.

Yeah, just have a bunch of us in an Xbox Live party while we watch the race on various platforms.

What time is the race on at UK time??

by F4H Carrera Sat 16 Apr 2011 - 19:28

look at the above quotes Razz

(1.30am - unfortunately!)

by AMR of the Apex Sat 16 Apr 2011 - 20:06

The challenge for tonight on Xbox live is to guess who's getting the live feed first...

Usually fun on the RadioLeMans forums when I appear to be seeing the Indycar coverage before any other Brit on the collective...

Earlier I asked why this race is not being called the 6000 seconds of Long Beach, I've just been informed its 2 Hours!!!

by narboza22 Sat 16 Apr 2011 - 23:23

Anybody know if there's going to be coverage of the test day next Sunday?

Also, why is Level 5 withdrawing their Lola coupe from Long Beach to keep it in good shape so they can send it to France for next week when they already have a European based Lola coupe that will be at the test day? They only have one entry for Le Mans, what's with running two cars at the test?

by AMR of the Apex Sat 16 Apr 2011 - 23:27

Hmm, Unsure about any TV Coverage THAT side of the Atlantic, I'm sure someone will stream something via justin or whatever live stream with a christian name of choice.

Motors TV in the UK and most of Europe...Radio Le Mans will provide your ears with something though.

Hurray!!

Last night I thought I read somewhere that Risi Competizione might be running one of the Luxury Racing Ferraris at Le Mans, but now I cannot find where I read that for the life of me. Has anybody heard anything about that? If its true, then the GT battle is going to be way better.

by narboza22 Sun 24 Apr 2011 - 8:05

Does anyone know if there is live timing or a live stream anywhere for the test day?

edit: Here's live timing: http://www.lemans.org/fr/courses/24h/journee-test-2011/chronos.html

Capello already running 3:38's and Radio Le Mans is saying some teams think they will be able to run 6 to 10 seconds under the 3:30 target time set by the ACO.

So basically, the ACO changes the regulations which forces all of the teams to revise their cars or design new ones completely at great cost, and in the end, the cars are just as fast as they were last year...

by **Matt** Sun 24 Apr 2011 - 8:51

Looking good for Audi again though. Could make for a brilliant battle in P1 Smile

'Apparition de quelques gouttes d'eau sur le circuit'
OMG looks like there are watery ghost goats on the circuit!!!

by AMR of the Apex Sun 24 Apr 2011 - 11:49

Quelques is prefer.

Spirits of Dead Goats WANT to be on the circuit when its wet.

by narboza22 Sun 24 Apr 2011 - 14:22

That was a pretty confidence inspiring performance by Aston Martin...

Highcroft better get their act together or else there will be no chance whatsoever for a non diesel to win.

by lfcnicklfc Sun 24 Apr 2011 - 14:30

Highcroft aren't there are they Suspect

And which Aston as the AMR-One was 23 seconds off the pace and aren't taking part in the second session with engine problems.

by narboza22 Sun 24 Apr 2011 - 16:25

I meant Highcroft better be at Le Mans, and that was sarcastic about the Aston Martins. Neither the Kronos or the works cars looked remotely competitive.

Yep look good no news on GT2 yet Sad

by narboza22 Fri 6 May 2011 - 4:56

Anybody know if the Spa free practice was on TV?

by **Matt** Fri 6 May 2011 - 7:53

Not sure but Eurosport have said they're covering the race in full.... must not be any tiddywinks or European cattle shuffling on this weekend.
