Just checked in. Red flagged it seems. Who crashed, and how bad?

If today is like yesterday then this session time will get adjusted. Yesterday they had to finish at midnight no matter what happened in the session. So if they adjust this session then we might not see the Toyota. But better in this session than the last one!

Didn't look/sound like Buemi broke anything. So maybe they caught what it was before any damage was done. But the timing has stopped thanks to the barrier, that will help Toyota.

Eurasia on exit of first chicane. Not terrible but the barrier is needing repairs. Driver reported to be OK. Lost it on the exit and went stage right into the inside rail.

#33 by Erik Maris, he's ok. Doubt the car is.

AndreasDavour · 15 Jun 2017, 17:33 (Ref:3741746)

Thanks!

Is it just me, or is the streaming offline as well?

Akrapovic · 15 Jun 2017, 17:34 (Ref:3741748)

See in the future, can someone pay some cameramen to come to work on Wednesday and Thursday? Still no coverage between Tertre Rouge and Porsche Curves. No coverage of an actual race today. I know it's better than it used to be, but it can be better than this.

This using the official stream and app are reporting problems. Check the television thread for an email you can report to, and a little more info. Eurosport stream is working if you're meaning that.

Especially when you have a lot of paying customers.

No track activity for next 35 minutes.

Akrapovic · 15 Jun 2017, 17:37 (Ref:3741752)

20:15 local time is earliest possibe restart.

Going to be a SHORT lunchbreak, or they shorten session 2 I bet.

They should get creative. Call an end to this session and just extend the next one. Start it at 21:00 or 20:30 just have one long one.

Akrapovic · 15 Jun 2017, 17:42 (Ref:3741759)

Track action must be done at midnight again.

Thanks a lot!

Do they have to have an hour break in between?

airbusA346 · 15 Jun 2017, 17:47 (Ref:3741763)

Hmm... sure the mechanic shouldn't be doing that (pushing the camera out of the way).

Akrapovic · 15 Jun 2017, 17:48 (Ref:3741765)

For those that like technical stuff, Dunlop tyre technician taking a reading. Track temp at his measure point 33 degree C. Technician says that's "medium" for Dunlop tyres.

Eurasia mechanics getting rather physical with a cameraman. Hopefully the ACO goes and gives them a slap for that. Anyone can buy a LMP2 car mate, your Ligier is not top secret.

Negative. I don't remember this but RLM said they shortened it before to get the sessions in. There's nothing on track between the sessions so it can be as short as the ACO want.

That's what I thought. If Porsche and Toyota can get in trouble then surely it should apply to all the other teams.

Massive amount of over inflated self importance too. They're just customer cars. Not like Eurasia have developed a top secret super duper car. Just some bellend mechanics thinking they're far far more important than they actually are.

Oil supply issues and an engine change for the #8
