Strange enough, the Pug driven by Davidson has left the pit lane just before the safety car came out..... :-k [-X

--- Davidson needs to be parked. What a goddamn moron. Couldn't hack it in Formula 1 and obviously can't race in sports cars.

At least the Corvette team are consummate professionals and watching them work shows they know what they hell they are doing and are very well drilled and prepared.

Yup, he should go back to his real job developing the Codemasters F1 2010 game. :lol:


Can i just say, watching the boys work on the Corvette is inspiring.
Wish normal mechanics would work like that.. you'd have a regular service done by the time you finish your complimentary coffee!

I'm actually blown away that the world feed hasn't left them. I didn't expect them to keep the cameras on them this long.


EDIT: Even Ollie Gavin was in there pitching in and helping fox the car. With the size of the hole, and the location of it, in that oil tank one has to wonder how long that engine ran with no oil pressure. Hope they get it fixed and it doesn't grenade later.

EDIT 2: Took about 29 minutes to repair the whole rear of that car. No wonder everyone is afraid of them. =D>

Why does the leading Porsche have a blinking blue light on it? What is that?

Now the Peugeot #2 is also out of the race, but #1 is closing on second place. At least some positive for Peugeot.

There go my hopes for this year. Peugeot #1 is in the pits with an apparent turbo problem.
This will be an all Audi podium :(

Well, after the earlier problems for the #1 they had to push. They had nothing to lose and they lost it.

Impressive from the 4th placed Oreca Peugot, could it make the podium?

edit: no that engine's gone as well.

They have a systematic turbo charger weakness. It killed the dream of 2010 LeMans. Very disappointing and terrible for Peugeot. They should at least have got one of these cars on the podium. What a shame.

Well the Oreca Peugeot is now also out of the race.
I switched it off, I'm terribly disappointed :cry:

Btw: ACO have an official Le Mans page on facebook, good to stay up to date during the race and in the off-season between races.
