Hail!

Bone dry on S/F straight still! Worryingly medical helicopter just took off.

The situation at Aremberg looks like it could have been prevented if the yellow flags were out before the quick left-hander, though I could be wrong. Most looked like they were having to brake through that turn.

"The Green Hell" living up to it's name, hahaha

It did seem to take a while for even the C60 to be called, and clearly the problem was starting on the approach to the left (Schwadenkreuz IIRC) before Aremberg.

I reckon the helicopter will be for the #54 TCR leading Seat, I've not seen the driver get out (although that wouldn't be wise when everyone else is going off around him). Hopefully he's okay.

I have never seen anything like this before. The hail thickness is ridiculous

Never seen anything like this. Drivers appear to be having a wee meeting round the back of the circuit.

airbusA346 · 28 May 2016, 14:33 (Ref:3645106)

At least 90 mins before restart.

Wonder if #911 could get recovered back to the pits during the red flag?

Just discussed on the stream, yup. They're fixing it. I assume it's back in the garage now.

Edit: apparently the car is back.

J Jay · 28 May 2016, 14:58 (Ref:3645115)

Quite the boon for the #911 crew, they'll only be ~30 minutes behind if it goes well!

#911 has just been shown on the back of a flat bed, it isn't back in the garage yet.

Akrapovic · 28 May 2016, 15:36 (Ref:3645120)

There's the 911 on a flatbed now, so it hadn't returned at all. Looks like Tandy left the car on circuit. So looks like it'll lose more time.

Apparently race will not restart at 6pm, because more weather on the way.

J Jay · 28 May 2016, 15:41 (Ref:3645124)

There's some people saying that the #911 is done, but nothing definitive that I've seen.

There has been one positive though - those of us inclined to leather and willow get to listen to TMS and TMS: Motorsport at the same time!

It didn't look too damaged on the flat bed. Hopefully it can be fixed.

It's still stuck in traffic on that flat bed, though.

They still got time, though - restart postponed to 19:20.

tux · 28 May 2016, 16:02 (Ref:3645129)

#911 should be ok once its back in the pits, it was only a small off from the view on the onboard camera. I think Tandy mentioned that if the contact hadn't of broken the driveshaft then he would have driven it back.

airbusA346 · 28 May 2016, 16:03 (Ref:3645130)

Rain apparently due at restart time.

I spoke to a crew member at Manthey a while ago; he didn't sound hopeful but they hadn't seen the damage and may have just been feeling pessimistic.

GriffM3 · 28 May 2016, 16:26 (Ref:3645133)

Hopefully they can get it repaired

#23 gets a major bump start from the marshals all the way from pit exit down the front straight, but comes to a halt just after the switchback, thankfully out of the way of the resuming Group 2.

Akrapovic · 28 May 2016, 17:27 (Ref:3645141)

Well I assumed we we're going green there but apparently not. What's going on with the start?
