Pug has a spare tub this time. So they could build up a new car if need be.

Audi needs to improve its pace in order to beat Peugeot. |

It's great to see the LG Corvette running competitively out of the box! Less than a second off P1 in class.
Sad that the ECO car is dead last, but I think von Moltke and Balbiani were in the car the entire time. Gotta get Noda in to see what it can do! |

Nothing about fire on Autosport report. Sure they weren't referring to Sarrazin's laptime?

I don't believe Dyson has ever run Le Mans, and I highly doubt they have any such aspirations at the moment. Therefore, I suspect they'll just stick with the 2008 wing.

The Highcroft car has been destroyed with Scott Sharp behind the wheel, "There's nothing recognizable about that cat" "a very big accident indeed" "the car was airborne" "Upside down when it hit the wall".
Scott is fine, out and walking around. Hindy says Scott clipped the Farnbacher which was coming out of Pit lane, the Acura flipped two or three times. 87 Farnbacher Loles car with heavy left front damage as well. "They're bringing a flat bed; they need a dustpan and brush" "Part of the left hand side of the tub is completely gone" "Possibly the biggest accident I've ever seen here at Petit, including the two blowovers" "He had red Georgia clay on the top of his helmet" -- Scary |

Just turned on RLM, good to hear Scott is OK but I'm curious to see what's happened.
Apparently clipped the Farnbacher car while the Porsche was exiting pit lane and flipped 2 or 3 times. |

Has anyone been able to get RLM on their mobile today, specifically iPhone? I have to links but neither is working. I tried them a few weeks ago and was able get Midweek Motorsports without issue.

Timing and Scoring now shows Checkered Flag, I guess they've completely canceled this session now.

Well that explains why the session's canceled, no way they can repair that quickly.

Just more proof, like the Pesca Pug at LM, that these tubs are built to insane safety standards that can amaze anyone. How there's that little of the Highcroft car left and Sharp is already walking around is incredible. When a car comes back on 2 separate trucks, it had to have been a big one.

PS Oreca looking really good as fastest of the privateers. Great work on the back of the Silverstone result.
