horrible, the crash looked fairly innocuous compared to big smashes of Rockenfeller or McNish a couple of years ago

Eurosports coverage is so much better than speeds!

RIP Allan Simonsen.
Yeah, they use Radio Le Mans commentators which are excellent and supremely knowledgeable

I've not watched or listened to SPEED but i know that Americans love their overstated commentary and bright invasive graphics which I despise
 
I had the tough choice of which coverage to watch right up until the point I realised that Peugeot weren't competing and so I wouldn't be able to listen to the yanks say poo-zho and have a giggle.
 
6 hours down and an Audi 1-2-3 is looking likely, again. R.I.P Allan Simonsen :(

Pretty sure that the moment I wrote this, the #1 Audi came in for that nearly hour long stop.
 
I will not be getting absolutely annihilated on the Friday be for Le Mans again next year. I'm really struggling.

That said, I can't believe how the time flies. It feels like we're just getting going and there's only 3:40 left (I say 'only' even though that's 2 F1GPs).
 
heck how's Simonsens luck !!..

Slightly damp rumble-strip spits him off then he hits a part of the course that you couldn't hit if you tried to , hitting a spot that just happened to have a tree behind it on the worst possible side of the car o_O


Onboard shots through the porsche curves at full tilt :eek:
 
RIP Allan Simonsen. Only saw him a couple of times in V8SC, but am stunned. I feel like when John McCarthy passed away.

Davidson, too, last year. I had a feeling it was really bad when the pit reporters on SPEED were (purposefully) vague. After Jason Leffler last week, now Simonsen this week...not a good run for the motorsports community. RIP.
 
Tom Kristensen will win his ninth overall if he hangs on. There's no way now that those rumours about he and McNish being phased out at Audi will happen at least until after next year, you'd think? Not with a chance at an even ten. What an effort. TK is the man. Regardless of whatever happens now.
