Interesting but not at all surprising that 77 has gearbox damage. Good to see it will be out on track soon,

Are you sure about that? It looks like exactly the same material on the screen as they have had for hours.

Figured as much. Pipe dream as is a house on Mulsanne.

Just Google mapped the whole place and there's wineries, a college and some luxury colleges around. Looks neat. I gotta go one day.

A bit dated, but make him an offer.

Pretty sure, because it occurred to me that maybe the muck was on the inside.

venturi · 7 Feb 2016, 05:14 (Ref:3612630)

Another right rear blowout and safety car, brings SVG right back in to contention for the finish.

TzeiTzei · 7 Feb 2016, 05:14 (Ref:3612631)

Another Pirelli?

Yep. There's a chance and will be fun to him try to work through the traffic towards the front.

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing that and poor Mr Windsor needs to find a dentist and a razor. I do envy him to a certain degree. Just trying to grow some fruit and live off the land while playing violin in his off time. Then again, I envy anyone driving the Mountain Course in anger.

Langers · 7 Feb 2016, 05:19 (Ref:3612634)

And again no windscreen on 59. Ok I give up.

Yeah I saw them do it at the previous pitstop and the marks were still there.. I think it must be on the inside.

I would STRONGLY encourage you to go for 2017. Should be a cracking race, and with the AUD being weak against USD, the actual cost once you land in Aust is quite acceptable.

As to speeding, SVG was flustered by the stalling and I suspect did not engage the PLSL in time.

tux · 7 Feb 2016, 05:23 (Ref:3612637)

Don't see how SVG and tekno can be beat now. The nissan doesn't have the power advantage that it had last year.

venturi · 7 Feb 2016, 05:28 (Ref:3612638)

Those tearoffs are like window tinting in that they can bubble if you don't put them on smoothly enough or with heat, I think that's whats showing on SVG's windscreen.

Certainly on my bucket list of races.

J Jay · 7 Feb 2016, 05:34 (Ref:3612640)

Could some kind soul fill me in on the significant events in the last five hours? I see that the Phoenix Audi got that lap back eventually...

275 GTB-4 · 7 Feb 2016, 05:36 (Ref:3612641)

Ross Noble is doing a top job in the commentary box!

That's very tempting. Also, it's really cold here right now. Of course, I consider anything under 70F/20C to be "really cold".

9 safety cars. SVG went to quick in pit lane and got a drive trough.
erebus messed up the timing of their pit stop and went a lap down. the other erebus in the wall

most likely every one except the audi needs to pit, (only because its pitting as i type)

J Jay · 7 Feb 2016, 05:43 (Ref:3612644)

Cheers peckstar. Looks like the tyres are holding up nicely, neither the #2 nor the #59 took a new set. SVG up to 3rd on the final fuel stop.

TzeiTzei · 7 Feb 2016, 05:49 (Ref:3612646)

That was a fast stop for SVG.

fieldodreams79 · 7 Feb 2016, 05:50 (Ref:3612647)

If Godzilla and the Bentley need to stop still, The Giza will pass them both at only 42 secs behind.

they hold up as long as they dont puncture, quite a few punctures and they masacre the body work, which means shrapnel on the road which means more punctures

reckon at least 3 of the SC have been due to the marcs spinning into the gravel traps
