#63 corvette Debacle
what a story
1 hour i and Ron fellows stuffs the car into the tyrewall then he battles it from 40th to 3rd(gts) and 7th overall and then he cuts a rear (at hour 8 i think) and spins off the Straight on the hill crest, makes the save and gets rear ended by the LMP2 leader! LeMans is full of this I can't believe it is a nailbiter and it is on for 8 hours just now. and 16 to go oh man crazy |

Waheey, the first vaguely Le Mans Race related thread!
Seems a bit odd us all following everything in the chatroom. But yeah, unbelieveable bad luck for the 63 car. I bet Ron is pretty embarrased it was him the the car both times too. |

Who bumped that LPM2 car into Fellows? That guy was quite cheesed-off!
I was watching for a car to enter the pits with a crunched front but I never saw one. Mike |

i think he wasn't bumped- he slowed and crashed into fellows himself...Racer blame is either the car, crew or another car...
also McNish has a concussion! the 8 (?) Audisport team Veloqx wil be racing with 2, TWO! drivers for the remainder of the race! poor alan! he bolted from that wrecked audi like a bat outta hell and i bet he went and tossed his cookies after that crunch, he went to the local hospital...the car did look a wreck, it really must have rattled his head a bit |

Two things.
I read that Allan is out for the year. Concussion rated "severe". The driver of the Courage said that he slowed for the yellows from Fellows (I'm a poet) and that some blankety-blank hit him from behind. Mike |

Thanks very much. That interview sounds very positive so hopefully he is not out for the year. He really is a class act.

The #64 Corvette came together with the leading P1 car. The P1 car kept on going but the Corvette went off course and then made it back to the pits.

Does anyone know how Sebastien Bourdais is doing? I know he had some problems with his car some hours ago.

Sebastien is listed in 11th, 15 laps down right now. I can not tell who is driving at the moment though. This is from:

Thanks for the info and the link, mp356a! SeaBass is now in 7th, but the team is now 17 laps down right now. LOL Just under 10 hours to go before the checkered flag!
