Good. I knew about the fuel restrictions etc but I must have misinterpreted James's post.

Looking forward to the Delta Wing, also: no Pugs this year :( Audi spent themselves out of competition again? Porsche is returnign to P1 next year correct?
I'm excited that Toyota is back after a long absence. 1.05 secs. off the Pole winning Audi is pretty damn good if you ask me. Fingers crossed it doesn't have any serious problems. GTE is always a fun battle.
That was poorly worded by the guy who edited that report. A 3:39 is "in" the 3:30's, and not much faster than the 3:42 it ran. He's not saying the car could do a 3:30.xxx
DeltaWing already making it's first stop, well before the Audi and Toyota teams... Mostly for "debris" in the radiator openings, which mysteriously disappeared before the car got to it's pit stall.
Might they have an overheating problem ?
Or the debris fell out when the driver braked for the pit lane.
Whoa, those red blinker headlight surrounds on the Audis are really cool.

They said the radiator blockage fell out, but those sounds like code for "our car is not working right, but damned if we're going to own up to it".
And the Delta is in the garage.
Lots of spins so far
So Speed, you must cut away from coverage of one of the most prestigious races to cover Nascar practice from Michigan because they are trying a new compound of Goodyear tires?
Sky Sports, here I come!
So what is the best option for Le Mans coverage now that Nascrap is on?
This is ridiculous. berkeley you Speed.
If I wanted to listen to a bunch of hill jacks talk about stuff I don't care about I'm sure there is a political rally I could go to.
Oh good, they're going to "check is at Le Mans" after the break, featuring exclusively Le Mans themed commercials.

Thanks Duke!

Iwas watching the Corvette live feed. It was mostly some dude pacing In a pit stall.
Wow, hell of a race for GTE Pro at this point!
Spped always breaks away for a couple hours here and there. They haven't left yet I've been watching the whole time. They are going to leave at six tonight which is what was unscheduled. I think speed is and always has done a good job with this race.
I just think it's B.S. that they need to cut to emergency coverage of Nascar practice for their new tire compound. There is no need for that practice coverage
Well they did cut away so some hill jack could blab incorherently about 204mph causing the tires to blister with the seriousness of coverage of the Normandy landings.
I thought it was odd that in the first hour and a half of coverage the only screen time given to the delta wing was when it was being passed by one of the Audis. I think the things are ugly, but I am really interested to see how they do and I'd like to see more of them on the tv coverage. I realize Speed is showing us the world feed that some French guy gets to dictate what we see, and that the delta wing is an American designed thing, but being as it is so radically different I figured it would get more coverage.
I just don't understand why they need this coverage. All it's going to be is a normal tire stint run for the teams to gather data like tire temps and tire degradation. This warrants TV coverage?
