1:50 not that bad

chernaudi · 22 Sep 2013, 19:49 (Ref:3307701)

I was about to say that Ben was doing a pretty good job double stinting tires, then he spun at turn 12--rear brake lock up.

Eryk03 · 22 Sep 2013, 19:51 (Ref:3307703)

All his good job was offset.

chernaudi · 22 Sep 2013, 19:51 (Ref:3307704)

Even with the spin, he's still as fast as Duval on older tires.

chernaudi · 22 Sep 2013, 20:02 (Ref:3307710)

Is Toyota stroking it early in their stints trying to save tires? Davidson now runs that car's fastest lap after being so much slower earlier in the run.

Maybe doing full service--Seb's ready to get in it seems.

Imho in Interlagos were even more muted.

chernaudi · 22 Sep 2013, 20:09 (Ref:3307714)

Toyota now single stinting tires and Ant Davidson.

Acid09 · 22 Sep 2013, 20:11 (Ref:3307717)

That was one weird stint from Davidson. Pretty slow throughout, then two blistering fast laps and then slow again.

chernaudi · 22 Sep 2013, 20:12 (Ref:3307718)

Buemi now almost 50 seconds behind Kristensen.

airbusA346 · 22 Sep 2013, 20:17 (Ref:3307721)

Issues for #97

Looks like front right suspension failure.

Kristensen seems unable to stretch the gap. He is unable to put in the same lap times as Duval and Treluyer.

airbusA346 · 22 Sep 2013, 20:20 (Ref:3307726)

Looks like #97 is retired.

chernaudi · 22 Sep 2013, 20:21 (Ref:3307729)

Holding the gap is good, building it is better. TK needs to get down into the low 1:49 or 1:48 range to do some real damage to Toyota.

airbusA346 · 22 Sep 2013, 20:22 (Ref:3307730)

#97 hit one of the big kerbs.

Lagunaseca_4life · 22 Sep 2013, 20:24 (Ref:3307732)

Man has AMR ever had all the vantages finish a race?

chernaudi · 22 Sep 2013, 20:25 (Ref:3307733)

Ben's been in the #1 Audi forever it seems. Now finally changes over to Fassler.

Acid09 · 22 Sep 2013, 20:27 (Ref:3307735)

1:48 from Buemi..too little too late?

airbusA346 · 22 Sep 2013, 20:27 (Ref:3307736)

Drive through for #1.

chernaudi · 22 Sep 2013, 20:29 (Ref:3307738)

Could be if Tom picks it up...or Allan goes faster or they put Loic back in for the last stint or two.

TK needs to pick it up--Buemi is catching him.

airbusA346 · 22 Sep 2013, 20:31 (Ref:3307739)

#57 into the garage.

Acid09 · 22 Sep 2013, 20:31 (Ref:3307740)

According to Davidson Buemi is planned to finish.

So Davidson gets to drive a single stint, or did I miss one of his stints?

airbusA346 · 22 Sep 2013, 20:35 (Ref:3307741)

#8 has spun at T1 according to RLM.

chernaudi · 22 Sep 2013, 20:35 (Ref:3307742)

What the hell? Buemi just lost 8 seconds to Tom.

Reason: Seb spun turn 1, and TK has started to turn up the wick.

Eryk03 · 22 Sep 2013, 20:36 (Ref:3307745)

10 sec

TF110 · 22 Sep 2013, 20:37 (Ref:3307747)

Track is turning on everyone. Buemi was starting to lap faster than the #2. Maybe hes going to triple stint?
