What a crazy start to the race.

The Pesca Pug hitting the Pug of Pedro Lamy in the pits. That puncture of Pedro's car just destroyed the car. The entire left rear of that ripped to shreds, with parts hanging everywhere. That car will be lucky to be anywhere this race.

The audi has also leaped up to 2nd now. :irked:

Oh, sweet. #008 Aston Martin is in the top five. I'm hoping that car finishes well - I think you could guess why. :)


The Aston sounds amazing on tv I cant imagine how amazing it sounds in person.

The important factor for me (especially if we get rain) is that Audi appear to be able to run longer than the Peugeot. Atm its the Audi(s) vs the One Pug for the overall victory.

Gt2 is amazing to watch so far.

Out of interest, what is the Speed coverage like?

I think the fact that Audi has 5 gears to Pug's 6 also helps in the rain. But Speed coverage is amazing, except of course for the commercials and the fact that they will go off air for about 4 hours for stupid nascar coverage, but I'll be watching on the live stream cap-dude posted. I wonder what happened to McNish's nose?

Yes the gears and the extra tourque from Audi may also be a decider.
Erm That's terrible if Speed don't show it in full.

Over here, we get Eurosport coverage - its separated on the 2 channels, but even so you get the full race. It has stupid commercials too though.

Who are speed's broadcasters?

Wow I would hate to be you. :hehe: I make it known in our household weeks prior that I hold all the rights to the main tv for the 24 hrs of le mans.


Aye commentators, sorry.



Off the top of my head its David Hobbs, Leigh Diffey, Calvin Fish, Dorsey Schrader, and Bob Varsha. Basically Speed combined the crews from Grand Am, ALMS, and F1. I think they're great imo, they know a lot and they're not annoying, but there is one pit reporter that gets on nerves.

Ahhh that's interesting, because I would have thought that Eurosport may have been picked up.
Nevermind.
