t1t3h Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Lotus have had their LMP2 cars seized by the French courts in the Le Mans pitlane, apparently they haven't paid one of their partners. It will be interesting to see if they get them back in time for qualifying tomorrow night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 5Live had a good show last night about Le Mans. Download it from http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/5lspecials 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRubberFist Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Audi #2 on pole. Counts for little in the context of a 24hr race, but still a badge of honour. Love watching the first and last hours of the race - everything else inbetween is for the fetishist imo! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Fastest in test day in all conditions, fastest in practice, fastest in qualifying. Time for McNish's usual Le Mans luck to strike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love watching the first and last hours of the race - everything else inbetween is for the fetishist imo! I prefer to call it enthusiasm. I do try and catch as much as possible and I have Radio LeMans on for the entire race. Still guaranteed to miss something like I do every year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRubberFist Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Odd. Very odd. Touch of the Batmobile about it in side profile view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still guaranteed to miss something like I do every year. I'll be somewhere in between. Think you have to be quite keen to watch the whole thing but am doing nothing else this weekend so will have it on in the background - be it commentary or TV pictures. Was surprised to hear on 5Live Hindhaugh doesn't do the whole thing. Anyone on here been? Would love to go but I fecking hate camping, not least because I can't sleep. The prospect of driving down there then driving back with no sleep for three or four days is not an enticing one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerwickMad Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Long shot, but has anyone been to NASCAR at New Hampshire before? I'm in Boston in September and would quite like to go but not sure how I'm going to get there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been way too long since my only Nascar race...1996 Daytona 500....awesome!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerwickMad Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Defiantly think I'm going to. I've been to the British Grand Prix before and you can get shuttle buses prom pretty much anywhere, but can't find anything on google like that for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Really sad news. Bit of an odd crash and I'm sure I read a tweet saying he was conscious. The lead Audi (sadly not #2) seems to be running away with this at the moment. Long way to go but already looking ominous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Yeah, they did say that he was conscious but a bit afterwards he's passed away. I am hoping all the Scots guy's do ok but especially would like to see McNish win as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Strange accident- saw it at the time. Did he put it on the white line/grass and it snapped or was it a car failure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 They have not said, they said there was no contact with any other car but not what actually did happen. I'm not sure they know yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie The Staggie Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 The Radio LeMans team apparently saw footage from the car behind and apparently it looks like something may have broke and sent him off. It looked a heavy impact and seemed to be diver side. Seen on Twitter that the family have requested that Aston continue racing, hope they go onto win the class now. Henry Hope-Frost @henryhopefrost 51mAston Martin will continue at Le Mans at the request of Allan Simonsen's family. #respect 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 No 2 Audi back in the lead. Pleasing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
