RLM "Sky looked like it would clear, but we've had a shower....
...no change initially to the conditions"

So, Aysedasi, what about no rain, but a wet track? The best of both?

**FIRE** · 14 Jun 2006, 19:40 (Ref:1634572)

I hope tomorrow it's a dry track so there's an exciting battle for pole.

**Aysedasi** · 14 Jun 2006, 19:40 (Ref:1634573)

Hey, just got a mention on RLM!!!!!!

Packing my stuff and listing to Radio LM is getting me excited!
leaving tomorrow morning and be there in the afternoon. Hope everybody keeps the cars in 1 piece as much as possible.

I didn't - I even recorded it........

Despite being a member of this forum, Hindy didn't know how to pronounce my name.......

**Aysedasi** · 14 Jun 2006, 20:01 (Ref:1634597)

I'm getting more break up from RLM this time - it was perfect back on 4th June. Or is it just me?

Early on Motors TV coverage they said tommorows forecast is worse, then a dry (possible thunder storms) race.

Listening on Sky 0157

**FIRE** · 14 Jun 2006, 20:05 (Ref:1634600)

If it's worse it will be a boring qualifying session.

**FIRE** · 14 Jun 2006, 20:07 (Ref:1634603)

No problem with RLM.

Was this rumour, joke or fact?

Was watching Motors TV at the time!

**FIRE** · 14 Jun 2006, 20:18 (Ref:1634612)

If it's true it will be in 3 or 4 years. Otherwise Courage, Audi, Creation, etc. have thrown money away.

**Aysedasi** · 14 Jun 2006, 20:34 (Ref:1634628)

The sooner the LMP1s have lids on, the happier I'll be..... Has the new Peugeot got "lidability"? Remember how the rules were changed for Peugeot back in the early 90s.

**FIRE** · 14 Jun 2006, 20:37 (Ref:1634633)

Spyker: wat a beautiful car

**Adam43** · 14 Jun 2006, 21:16 (Ref:1634654)

RLM on in the office, MOTORS TV on in the lounge. Argh, madness, glorious madness.

I'm saving RLM for the journey down!

Also packing the 'wets'.

I think it may be a little dryer at this point, one or two are putting in some slightly quicker times.

TheNewBob · 14 Jun 2006, 21:26 (Ref:1634666)

My brother's at the circuit (still almost tearful that I can't be there!!), he rang me just before start of the 2nd session - he was talking about blue skies at Terte Rouge... it obviously clouded over again!

Relying on RLM - ohh I still love that Lambo engine note in the background!!

gwyllion · 14 Jun 2006, 21:31 (Ref:1634668)

Dindo Capello damaged the rear end of #7 Audi...

**Adam43** · 14 Jun 2006, 21:36 (Ref:1634672)

He's out of the car!

Oooooo, that doesn't help. Still it is Wednesday, not the weekend.

gwyllion · 14 Jun 2006, 21:42 (Ref:1634676)

Pescarolo 1-2. They did the first session with wet Michelins and their dry setup, but I guess they now switched to their full wet setup.

gwyllion · 14 Jun 2006, 21:49 (Ref:1634681)

Audi is calling it a day. Of course because the #7 Audi is standing on the track.

gwyllion · 14 Jun 2006, 22:15 (Ref:1634692)

5 Judd V10 engined cars in top 7

TheNewBob · 14 Jun 2006, 22:19 (Ref:1634698)

A good 40-45 seconds off potential pole times... does all that come from corners? I wonder how quick they go on the straights here in the wet? reckon they'll push for top speed or would that just send them off the road...?

**Adam43** · 14 Jun 2006, 22:20 (Ref:1634701)

That is impressive, they are only challenged by a diesel!

Their presence at Le Mans over the recent history is paying dividends.

He hit the Saleen.

Entering its last half hour, Wednesday's session has been eventful. "Dindo" Capello spun off in the No.7 Audi Sport Team Joest R10 at the Tertre Rouge Esses as the rain began to fade. Hitting the Armco and knocking its rear wing askew, the Audi came to rest at 90 degrees to the track. It was soon pushed to safety by marshals and Capello exited the car.
