  • Registered Users Posts: 23,845 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34

    Le Mans, always a cruel mistress


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,862 ✭✭✭donspeekinglesh


    Hopefully Kaz will get to the end of the lap, and they'll allow him to be classified.

    Mustn't have completed it in time, not classified I think

    Delighted to see Davidson up top, hope he can see it out but the record for Japanese cars is so poor at Le Mans that it's hard not to expect something to come

    We'll I did say it myself but thought we'd got away with it :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,459 ✭✭✭Arthur Daley


    It is amazing only mazda in 91 has won for japan


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,862 ✭✭✭donspeekinglesh


    Race Control have declared the 5 as not classified.

    Heartbreaking.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,511 ✭✭✭TheChrisD


    10.15 Conditions for classifications
    To be classified, a car must:
    d) When 75 % of the time of the race has elapsed: at least 50 %
    of the distance achieved by the car leading the race under pain of
    exclusion;
    e) Taking the last lap in a time inferior to 6 minutes (start/finish
    line-start/finish line or pit exit loop-start/finish line), except in case
    of "force majeure" at Stewards’ discretion.
    It is forbidden to stop on the track to wait for the presentation of
    the chequered flag.

    #5's last lap was 11:53.815. It makes one wonder what if Kazuki had stopped the car before the line, crawled over before Porsche took the chequered, and then proceeded to do the final lap at half power?

    Maybe it's just a sense of deflation after that race but the F1 seems so soulless after it.

    I'm a die hard Audi fan...but that was hard to watch. Gutted for Toyota!!
    On another note, what an achievement by Frédéric Sausset, a truly inspirational person and everyone involved in that project should rightly be proud.

    It was very appropriate that he ended up giving a lift home to that useless spoiled child Taittinger, she has no business near a motor race.

    Any idea what went wrong with the Toyota, it seemed like some sort of electrical / computer meltdown, no visible signs of the engine letting go or anything like that.

    turbo failure according to twitter

    edit: apparently Toyota, Audi and Porsche's turbos are made by the same company Garret
