The Porsche curves are my fav section of the track.

**Tifoso** · 16th June 2012, 20:31

That corner!

**458 Italia** · 16th June 2012, 20:38

Audi #3 making good progress after the shunt.

**458 Italia** · 16th June 2012, 20:45

Toyota #7 back out, well not quite.

**458 Italia** · 16th June 2012, 20:48

I'm not certain but I think Toni is in fuel save mode, he's lapping a bit slower now.

Come night time, they tend too ease off abit, not too much.

Or, just checked the times, he may got caught in some traffic.

**458 Italia** · 16th June 2012, 21:12

Could well be. In the pits now so is the #74, got a stop over the Vette now.

Bruni back in the car.

**458 Italia** · 16th June 2012, 21:20

The Le Mans live timing page sucks. We could really do with a F1.com style page.

**Rob** · 16th June 2012, 21:21

Anthony Davidson was taken to the circuit medical centre following his accident during the Le Mans 24 Hours. Doctors at the circuit have confirmed that Anthony is suffering from shock and back pain, however there are no signs of any injuries and he is walking and talking with no problems. He will be taken to a local hospital for precautionary checks but the team is relieved and happy to hear he is okay. Further updates will follow in due course.

Statement issued by Toyota Racing at 2115 hours.

Really disappointed the Delta Wing is out, especially through no fault of it's own, Nakajima is still a liability every time he gets behind the wheel...!

Brundle demonstrating he doesn't just talk about it, he's still got it in him, and Lucas still doing it for all of us GT5 wannabe racers...

**Rob** · 16th June 2012, 21:35

Brundle doing well, that team is. Have to try too improve my time in GT Academy, last 1 is round Motegi.

Got agree with Nakajima. He is an accident waiting to happen. Hope the Delta Wing races again this year. Think there was talk about an ALMS race later this year. Then next year have 1 car in each category in the ALMS.

**458 Italia** · 16th June 2012, 21:36

#59 Luxury Racing Ferrari coming in soon from a battle for 3rd, getting ready for a driver change.

**458 Italia** · 16th June 2012, 21:42

I like that blonde reporter on the Euro 2012 on Eurosport advert.

Yeah you should, you're quicker than me, give it a proper go, didn't realise Motegi was last round, will have a go...

Definately, would be a real shame if the Delta Wing just became a museum piece, really want to see what the 'car' is actually capable of...

The times from last round will count to who goes through, fingers crossed.

It has alot of more work to be done, they want too race it more. In the ALMS they are allowed to race for points.

**Rob** · 16th June 2012, 21:57

Bruni set fastest lap now, come on #51

**458 Italia** · 16th June 2012, 21:57

Bruni just set the cars fastest lap, can't see it on the timing page because it froze again.

**458 Italia** · 16th June 2012, 22:02

207.1 Kph average speed for the #51 car.

**458 Italia** · 16th June 2012, 22:13

On the Ferrari Davidson incident I think Ant was at fault as much as the other guy, the GT cars don't have to get out of the way for prototypes, it's up to the faster car to go the long way around or wait until the corner has been navigated.

Maybe also a bit of karma here to, I remember last year when Ant was trying to drive the single surviving Audi off the road last year.

**Rob** · 16th June 2012, 22:16

If you remember he done the same to a Vette of other year entering the Porsche curves. Didnt end the same why, but the Vette was out on the spot. Ant went down the inside as the Vette was turning in. It was 50/50, today. I have changed my view on it after watching the replays.
