00:00:00So great overhead views of the circuit there and that's the downhill run from Dunlop through La Chapelle

00:00:06and down to Tertre Rouge, one of the most iconic of the corners at Le Mans.

00:00:10It's a double right-hander, it goes on forever and then Liz brings it on to this wonderful, wonderful straight with the poplar trees.

00:00:17Yeah, this bit of the Mulsanne straight is really special.

00:00:19I mean, this is the piece of history that every driver looks forward to being a part of

00:00:22and I remember the first time that I came out of Tertre Rouge and on to the Mulsanne

00:00:26and it was just an incredible experience because you can just feel the history in it,

00:00:30you're on the same track as so many amazing drivers and cars have been on,

00:00:33so it's a very, very special experience.

00:00:35Corvette Center finally making their first stops, they've actually gone a lap longer than the Astons,

00:00:40we're on lap 13, but Liz, we're still 47 minutes of the race gone.

00:00:44We've been used to seeing GT cars going the full hour.

00:00:47We've seen so many pit stops already so early on in this race, it's very interesting.

00:00:51I mean, yeah, we're 45, 50 minutes in, that's about right for a lot of GTs,

00:00:56but still, I mean, we've seen almost the entire grid pit already.

00:01:00Expired the GT2 cars, so this is definitely a lot quicker than we're used to seeing.

00:01:04This is the lead Corvette, of course, we're looking at, Jan Magnussen, he stays on board,

00:01:07just seeing if they're doing tyres, they're fueling at most, they haven't got any tyres out, Liz, so...

00:01:12007 Aston has just come into the pits as well.

00:01:14That's quite a few laps after the 009, I mean, I'm sure they've tried to plan that as best they could.

00:01:19Yeah, so out goes the Corvette.

00:01:27It's up the pit lane, on board there, with Mags, I believe.

00:01:35007, car still at, still sitting there at rest.

00:01:39That's in second place at the moment, Carl Wendlinger on it, you're not seeing it on the screen at the moment,

00:01:43but whistling it below us, out goes the 007, that's the second of the Golf Aston's.

00:01:47That'll just change, as we see, perhaps, there's Brabham out there, he's going on for another lap, though, Liz.

00:01:53Yes, he is, yeah, but he's already been in, so, actually...

00:01:56But, yeah, they've timed that really nicely, actually, they've made sure that they had, you know, the right amount of space,

00:02:01didn't have to back a car up, like we saw with the Corvettes earlier, but, um, 009 car, pushing hard.

00:02:06So, basically, we've finished up now with all the major LMP, 1MP2 runners have made stops,

00:02:12all the GT1 runners have stopped, but of the GT2s, only one car has stopped,

00:02:17and that's the Virgo motorsport car of Tim Mullan, I think he's just leaving the pits now,

00:02:21so, they've obviously decided to get that stopover, Tim stays on board, he, Tim Sugden,

00:02:27and, of course, Rob Bell, the defending Le Mans Series champion, on board that British-run Ferrari F430.

00:02:34Well, of course, the GT2 cars can go quite a bit longer in fuel than a lot of these bigger-engined,

00:02:39you know, more fuel-burning vehicles can go, so, you know, we would expect them to come in a bit later,

00:02:44but, still, I mean, the big story is how soon the LMP1 cars were pitting, half an hour into the race, very, very early.

00:02:50Nine laps for the first of the Peugeots, nine laps for the first of the Audi.

00:02:54And for how soon a lot of the petrol cars actually came in,

00:02:57it makes you wonder if maybe they weren't running that low on fuel, we'll have to see, sort of, where we are.

00:03:01So, there's the Astons going through, they've actually joined each other, running in formation, those two Astons,

00:03:06they're going to be behind the Corvettes still, but what we're not seeing at the moment,

00:03:09LMP2, huge battle still going on between Blake and Melon and Elgard,

00:03:13it's been going on for the last five laps, and there's only 0.8 of a second between them,

00:03:17and they maintain that gap through their pit stop cycle.

00:03:19Kurosawa in the pits, this is an exciting team here, brand new, new team to Le Mans,

00:03:26new car to Le Mans, new drivers, everything, very exciting experience for them.

00:03:31This is the university car, isn't it, Tokai University?

00:03:34So, this is a great car to watch, and we'd love to see them carry on and make it all,

00:03:39but it looks like they're being pushed into the garage, this is very unfortunate.

00:03:42More work than they can do in the pit lane.

00:03:44This was a big fight to take, really, to come to Le Mans.

00:03:47This car, as you watched our qualifying coverage, you'll remember,

00:03:51the team manager is Professor Yoshimasa Hayashi.

00:03:55Now, Dr Hayashi, he is the man who designed the Nissan engine that took Marc Blondeau to that fabulous pole position here in 1990 for Nissan.

00:04:05And Mark's never forgotten that, we've never forgotten that, and Dr Hayashi's decided, obviously, they'd like to try and do it again.

00:04:12The team is entirely crewed by students from Tokai University.

00:04:17The car itself was run at Fuji and Tsugo in the aborted Japanese Le Mans series of last year,

00:04:23but it's quite a famous car, this Courage, this was run, as we said, in Japan for a couple of seasons.

00:04:31So, it's well known in Japan, but it's a new engine, YGK,

00:04:34and Carlton has been absolutely fascinated by the fact that YGK are manufacturers of generators.

00:04:39Yeah, they do turbine engines, and we were wondering, what is under the hood?

00:04:45They've been very secretive about the whole thing.

00:04:47And what I do know is that, unfortunately for them, they had to start at the back of the grid.

00:04:52I'm not even sure why that's the case.

00:04:53Yeah, well, Carlton, they've just pushed the car into the garage.

00:04:56If you want to know what it is, it's a V8, 90-degree V8, all-aluminium.

00:05:00But it's not so strange, because one of the most iconic engines of Formula One in the 50s and 60s was Coventry Climax.

00:05:08Coventry Climax was a fire pump engine manufacturer.

00:05:11Well, there you have it.

00:05:12We've just recently seen the JMB Ferrari come in for its pit.

00:05:18Very, very tidy pit stop for them.

00:05:19Looked routine.

00:05:20They've gone back out.

00:05:21Obviously, that car had quite a big accident in qualifying, which they worked very hard to rebuild.

00:05:26And they've said they had a little bit of understeer this morning, but other than that, the car felt spot on.

00:05:30You want rebuilt?

00:05:31How about this front-end damage to the Lola MG?

00:05:35And would you ever get this in Formula One?

00:05:38Having that tighter look at all the settings, etc., on the suspension, tremendous.

00:05:43It's a big party out there, and we're through this big part of it.

00:05:47Mark, sorry.

00:05:47Yeah, sorry.

00:05:47I'm sorry to interrupt you, Captain.

00:05:49Liz, I'm just going to ask you, why would Tommy stay in the car?

00:05:51He's probably got an hour's rebuild ahead of him.

00:05:53Well, you know, I think the team likes to assess what's going on first.

00:05:56They probably just said, let us get in there and see what the story is, and then we'll decide.

00:05:59But a lot of times that's what will happen is, before you've sort of made all your decisions, you keep the driver in the car for a minute until you've sort of figured out the extent of the damage.

00:06:08My guess would be that car is going to take a while to fix.

00:06:10I mean, that was a big hit, a lot of damage.

00:06:13You know, it's going to have pushed itself pretty far in there.

00:06:15Want a bit of glamour?

00:06:16Well, we'll look at this.

00:06:17The golf cars, they're out there, and they're pacing beautifully.

00:06:21Round together, and they're three and four in class at the moment with the Corvettes of Magnuson and Gavin, the official factory Corvettes, leading this class.

00:06:30Get your cameras up.

00:06:31Here's your photo opportunity of those golf Astons.

00:06:33Now, after all the speed differentials, lap differentials in qualifying, all four of those cars, the two Corvettes and the two Astons, are all running 51s.

00:06:43Or they have been during the race at various times, so they're all on the same race pace.

00:06:47Well, Corvettes got a title to try and take back at Le Mans.

00:06:50Of course, last year, the Aston did win.

00:06:53Corvette has won for quite a few years, and I think they're definitely out here to prove something and say, hey, we're back to win.

00:06:57So, they're going to be holding on to those front positions as best as they can.

00:07:02Well, thanks to Wayne.

00:07:03He says, great to have Le Mans back on Eurosport.

00:07:06He's found a way of viewing it somewhere.

00:07:09Not quite sure where he's based, but he's...

00:07:11On the television.

00:07:12He's a happy voice.

00:07:12He says he's watching it on the old Astra satellite.

00:07:14It's a huge dish on the side of his, what I'm sure is a very, very pleasant residence.

00:07:20So, the rolling continues as far as the pit stops are concerned.

00:07:24And look at that 24 car, the Talamas machine.

00:07:28Red and gold on that guide.

00:07:30It just came out as white.

00:07:31It couldn't be any more different.

00:07:33Plenty of bling makes you sing.

00:07:35And look at this.

00:07:37It's firing at the moment.

00:07:39Another Japanese entry.

00:07:40The Asiatic countries really are taking a huge step.

00:07:43We've got a Chinese driver as well taking part.

00:07:46It's not about taking part.

00:07:47Well, it's not about taking part.

00:07:49It's about winning as far as these boys are concerned.

00:07:51At the moment, looking like doing just that.

00:07:54Peugeot are in the comfort zone.

00:07:573.22.

00:07:57A sub at 3.22 and a half.

00:08:00This is the race, don't forget.

00:08:01We're not talking about qualifying.

00:08:03That sort of pace would have been more than good enough for pole last time by.

00:08:07What on earth is going on?

00:08:09Beating last year's pole by four seconds during the race.

00:08:12And of course, this is four seconds off their qualifying time as well.

00:08:15So one would be willing to say they've actually gone back a little bit.

00:08:18You know, they're cruising around at 3.22, which is more than enough, like you said, to have beaten the pole last year.

00:08:23So this is just a phenomenal change in pace in just one year.

00:08:27Everybody's got to remember.

00:08:28Oh, two cars standing almost got there.

00:08:30That was really, really tight.

00:08:32It was.

00:08:32This is just showing the difference of the speeds between all the cars.

00:08:35We are seeing a lot of traffic now.

00:08:37This is about the time when all the lapping of the different, you know, classes starts to happen.

00:08:41And this is when a lot of the accidents we'll see all go on.

00:08:44One of the spikers being eaten up.

00:08:45They're just going by one of the factory Corvettes as well.

00:08:48Happy time for them.

00:08:49But we'll get pictures in a moment of those two stopped cars that are very, very dangerous right-hander.

00:08:55A nice degree turn that's claimed so many prisoners.

00:08:57There's that Ferrari just nicely repaired.

00:08:59Keep away from it.

00:09:00It's a new paint scheme.

00:09:01They've been doing that overnight.

00:09:03Threading it beautifully, you've got to say.

00:09:05Montagne, more than adept at this and doing a great job.

00:09:09They've got some real stars on board the Peugeot crew, Peugeot diesels.

00:09:14And, well, to be fair, none of them are trying to outstep each other in terms of their profile.

00:09:21It's great to see them all so relaxed.

00:09:23And I've never seen Villeneuve, for instance, so happy.

00:09:26Yeah, I think a lot of these F1 drivers are really enjoying sports car racing.

00:09:30You know, they've wanted to have a go at it.

00:09:32They're running out of the front at a race like Le Mans.

00:09:34And I think they really think it's fun.

00:09:35They really enjoy these cars.

00:09:37You know, they're just out to try something a bit different.

00:09:39And it's nice to have them involved.

00:09:41Well, Aston Scott saying the race has been held on Father's Day over the last couple of years.

00:09:49Well, he's obviously enjoying a Father's Day himself.

00:09:51He must be a dad if he happened to mention it.

00:09:53If you want to join the chat and ask any questions you like, and we'll do our best to filter our way through them,

00:09:59you click on, or you post it, eurosport.yahoo.co.uk.

00:10:04You go to the message boards, you pick out Motorsport, go to Le Mans, and you'll find the Race Weekend Live thread.

00:10:13And we'll do our best to have a quick look through.

00:10:16Thanks, Rogue Soul, as well, for saying Audi and Peugeot, the LMP1 race.

00:10:22You're absolutely right.

00:10:23Will it be interesting?

00:10:24Well, we're certainly hoping it is.

00:10:25It's fascinating at the moment.

00:10:26We're not quite sure, Rogue Soul, whether it's going to be a race just between the Peugeots themselves when they start racing.

00:10:34That's going to be fascinating, if that's the case, because they will want to sort out amongst themselves who's going to be the top dog on the podium if it comes to that.

00:10:43Can't really see them getting a one, two, three.

00:10:45That man, Villeneuve, we were talking about it just a few moments ago, he's desperate to get on board.

00:10:50Almost looking zen-like there in his lust for the car.

00:10:54And it was Jacques Villeneuve who was so impressive in the wet last year when we watched him in practice and in the race.

00:10:59That's true.

00:11:00Torrential conditions, and he was just incredible.

00:11:02We could really see the skill that he's developed from F1 there.

00:11:05Just, you know, making the Peugeot look like it was on the dry, really.

00:11:08Yeah, and he carried that car all through the night.

00:11:10That was the most impressive thing.

00:11:11His first ever night racing.

00:11:13Yeah.

00:11:14Just showing the skill, really.

00:11:15Just looking down the pits, the 44 Crucial Lola Mazda just come in unexpectedly.

00:11:21The team wasn't ready for it.

00:11:22They've obviously got some problem, though, identifying it.

00:11:24And the fact is, though, it's a miracle that car's even started today.

00:11:28That's the car that Hideki Noda rolled into a ball on Thursday night.

00:11:32And we all thought the worst, not only for him, but for the team as well.

00:11:35But what a job they've done.

00:11:36And once again, congratulations to Lola.

00:11:39They've got their laminators over from Huntingdon.

00:11:41They brought a portable autoclave over.

00:11:44They repaired the chassis.

00:11:45Had two cracks in it.

00:11:47Anyway, the car's going out again now.

00:11:48So it's survived the first hour of Le Mans.

00:11:51That is already a huge hurdle.

00:11:52Oh, well, the Lola Mazda's gone back out, so we're not sure exactly what's happened there.

00:12:04Fairly quick stop, but not planned.

00:12:07Once they realized it was in, they fueled and tired.

00:12:09So I think it's just probably having a Japanese moment.

00:12:11Maybe just a bit of a miscommunication on the radio system there.

00:12:17Here comes the 97 car.

00:12:19That is the 97's Malicelli.

00:12:23Bring that car in then for its stop.

00:12:25That's leading the category at the moment.

00:12:28Just about to lose that lead back to Jamie Mello.

00:12:32Jamie Mello on board the RISI Competizione car will take over the lead in GT2 at this Le Mans.

00:12:38So we are starting to see quite a few of the GT2 cars coming in for their pits now.

00:12:42Much, much longer than what we saw.

00:12:44Half an hour longer than a lot of the LMP1 cars.

00:12:46So we're really seeing the difference in the fuel economy here based between the GT cars and the LMP cars.

00:12:52Yeah, they're showing it the second stop.

00:12:54I don't believe that's correct, Liz, because...

00:12:56I don't think it is.

00:12:57No, Malicelli, he was leading the category.

00:12:58He couldn't have been with two stops.

00:13:00So I think that's probably just a mistake on the transponder time.

00:13:04So it looks like it's Mello van Oberbeck, Johannes van Oberbeck and Richard Leeds.

00:13:09That's our top three in GT2 at the moment.

00:13:11It's Magnussen, Gavin and Brabham.

00:13:13Top three in GT1 and in LMP2.

00:13:18That battle between Blakeamonen and Elgar continues.

00:13:21Although Jeroen has managed to pull out almost two seconds over Kaspar now.

00:13:26So that one's starting to settle down.

00:13:27Number 22 car coming back out of the garage.

00:13:31This is the Tokai University car.

00:13:32It looks like they're back on the floor.

00:13:34Hopefully going to get the thing started.

00:13:36So not a huge problem for them with any luck.

00:13:38Be nice to see them back out on the track running.

00:13:40We do have another car still in the garage, though.

00:13:43And that is the Lamborghini.

00:13:44It's been in for quite a long time.

00:13:45And this is a long, long, long stop for them.

00:13:48So we're waiting what's happened.

00:13:49I'm glad you mentioned that because Kex is out there.

00:13:51And he's desperate to get some news on it.

00:13:53Thanks for your post, Kex.

00:13:54If you could just tell everybody, your mates and all, who might be watching this,

00:13:58which of the Eurosport channels you're actually watching it on?

00:14:02They're just catching up on, I think, the finale of the Dauphiné Libere on International.

00:14:07And if somebody's watching out there, perhaps in Ireland, they might be just getting a bit missed.

00:14:10We are alive for the entire 24 hours.

00:14:14And if you could help out by just telling them on the message boards as well, that would be superb.

00:14:18Thanks to everybody who is on the message boards.

00:14:20It's been great to have you along.

00:14:22Jaguar, she's there, so it's lightning and the rest of you.

00:14:26It's great to have company on such a fantastic event as this.

00:14:30Yeah, I just hope that that Lamborghini does get back out fairly sharpish.

00:14:33But they've got, is it the back end that's off it at the moment?

00:14:36That's the business end.

00:14:37And let's just hope it is not something serious.

00:14:40Because they had a terminal problem last year.

00:14:43The J-Lock outfit, the Japanese Lamborghini owner's club came here, spent a fortune, shipped the car.

00:14:49I think they actually flew it.

00:14:51Goodness only knows how much air freight and excess baggage that must have cost.

00:14:55So they got here and the car just didn't make it, of course.

00:14:58Well, this year has been one of the best showings we've seen from Lamborghini.

00:15:02They've been, you know, really quick, really pushing hard.

00:15:04A lot of people had a lot of hopes for Lamborghini this year.

00:15:06And, you know, a real strong, a very strong lineup.

00:15:09So it's unfortunate to see them in the garage already.

00:15:11I think a lot of people were really hoping that Lamborghini might, you know, hang in there with the top front runners.

00:15:16Well, last time out at Spa, Spa 1,000 kilometers, it actually was leading the race for some time after the Athens had all sorts of problems.

00:15:23But Peter Cox and Vasseroff, they just couldn't keep that lead going.

00:15:28They finished third in the end.

00:15:29It was a podium finish.

00:15:30But it has been going exponentially stronger and stronger every time.

00:15:34It's run, of course, by Hans Ritter Engineering out of Germany.

00:15:37So that car, I think, just keep watching that because they are getting on top of it now.

00:15:41So Dickie's saying he's loving the message boards, having a chat out there.

00:15:46We're loving having you along as well.

00:15:47Aston Scott's there, so-so Phil H.

00:15:49And look at this.

00:15:51Just how difficult is that to thread through at these speeds?

00:15:55It looks like they're hardly moving at all.

00:15:57And just look at it as he juices up Frank Bieler having a look on the inside of the three car.

00:16:01This is a battle for pride here.

00:16:03I think it is, yeah.

00:16:05Side by side down the straight.

00:16:08Well, lucky Luke's lost out, doesn't he?

00:16:10Bieler's got the position.

00:16:11That's a great sight this early on.

00:16:14Well, they've got to kind of keep the pace up.

00:16:16And if you are the quicker, then why not just have a look by him?

00:16:19Remember Bieler, Pirro, the winners, and Werner, the winners the last two years.

00:16:25So they just love to do it again.

00:16:27So there's a warning being handed out to the 97 car.

00:16:30I imagine that's for not moving over quickly enough.

00:16:34That's all we can think of at the moment.

00:16:36It's the Scudera Italian.

00:16:38It's something to do with a pit stop.

00:16:40They've just gone out.

00:16:41Mattia Malicelli brought that car in.

00:16:43And they had a pit stop.

00:16:44So I think something must have happened there.

00:16:46Perhaps they had too many people on the car at one time.

00:16:48Or, you know, yeah, that's very possible.

00:16:50Fueling.

00:16:50It could have been somebody on the car during fueling.

00:16:52Interesting crew, that.

00:16:53They've run accidents for a long time.

00:16:55They've swapped over for Ferraris.

00:16:57You've got to kind of remap your brain, really,

00:16:59if you're going to start getting around those two different machines.

00:17:01Yeah, very, very different.

00:17:02Also, the only Pirelli here on, only Pirelli, the only Ferrari here on Pirelli tyres.

00:17:06Oh, no.

00:17:07The Chamberlain Synergy, number 19.

00:17:09It's not the newest car out there,

00:17:13but certainly one that, well, has graced us for an awful long time.

00:17:17And Hugh Chamberlain, huge as he's known.

00:17:20He is a big lad as well.

00:17:21He's going to need a big heart.

00:17:22He's going to cope with this race this year.

00:17:25It looks like they've got their problems.

00:17:26We're going to take ourselves a short commercial break.

00:17:28And we hope to have your company live here at Eurosport.

00:17:32There's the overall classification.

00:17:33Looks rather familiar, does it not?

00:17:35Peugeot's and Audi's, the top six.

00:17:41Welcome back.

00:17:42You're live at Le Mans.

00:17:43Peugeot's still in dominant form.

00:17:45The top three places held by them.

00:17:48Looks like two at the moment.

00:17:49But believe me, there are three out there

00:17:52as the Matmut tries to thread its way through one of the chicanes on the back straight.

00:17:56We're going to talk to Jos Verstappen.

00:17:57He's just climbed out of the Porsche RS Spyder.

00:18:02And he's the man who put that on class pole.

00:18:06Tremendous effort by the Dutchman.

00:18:08Things have been going great for the Dutch generally,

00:18:10having beaten France 4-1 in the football in the European Championship.

00:18:13There is Hugh Chamberlain.

00:18:16His car running very, very slowly out there, waiting for that to come in.

00:18:19We've got Jos waiting, though, to have a chat about the Porsches.

00:18:22Jos, you are leading the time too, so it's quite a good beginning of the start.

00:18:28Yes, I'm happy because we're leading.

00:18:31But the other car is very close behind us.

00:18:35So it will be a very tough competition during this 24 hours.

00:18:40But we have the speed, we know that.

00:18:43But the main problem is stay out of trouble.

00:18:45And that's the main goal.

00:18:47This car, the Porsche Spyder, is really new in Europe.

00:18:52It looks really fast here.

00:18:54So how's the cars going here?

00:18:58We knew we have a quick car.

00:19:00I mean, top speed is good.

00:19:02But especially the cornering speed of this car is so fantastic.

00:19:05And what is very important for this race, the car is comfortable as now.

00:19:11No tricky issues, no big oversteer, no big understeer.

00:19:16Very well balanced.

00:19:17And I think it's fantastic to have this car and to race here in Le Mans.

00:19:20Thank you, Jörg, good luck.

00:19:24Jos Verstappen there, enjoying life at the top.

00:19:27At least in the last M&B 2.

00:19:30You're on Blekemollen on the 34 car at the moment.

00:19:33The other RS Spyder has got Elsgaard aboard.

00:19:37Meanwhile, we're on board with one of the pleasures here.

00:19:39Yeah, I was just before the start of the race, I was talking to Guy Smith about the Porsche.

00:19:42And as you know, he races that car, Sir Dyson, in the ALMS.

00:19:46He said it is such a difficult car to get set up.

00:19:49But once you get there, he said it's probably the best car he's ever driven.

00:19:52He said it's certainly better than the Bentley, in which he won here in 2003 at Le Mans.

00:19:57And Guy said that's Dyson obviously been taking a while to get used to the car.

00:20:01He's very impressed at the way these guys are doing.

00:20:04Of course, he's not in a Porsche this weekend.

00:20:06He's a little bit jealous, I think, that they're out there.

00:20:08And the way they're going at the moment, if they can run for 24 hours,

00:20:12they're going to be probably in the top 10, I reckon.

00:20:14Yeah, absolutely.

00:20:15I mean, they've now figured out where the reliability lies in Porsches.

00:20:19So that's a big part of it.

00:20:20And, you know, they've made a smart decision to wait a while to come to Le Mans

00:20:23until they had it all dialed in.

00:20:25Yeah, just staggering pit stop strategies here.

00:20:28The 8th Persia comes in off the lead.

00:20:30And Pedro Lamy has just about had enough of being pressured by Montagny.

00:20:34So he's decided to come in.

00:20:36And they've got a strap issue out there.

00:20:39They're having difficulty undoing their own straps.

00:20:41Modifications, it looks like, because those straps look like a bit of a mess,

00:20:45he's certainly loosened them up.

00:20:47So Lamy comes in.

00:20:48Montagny takes over the lead out front.

00:20:50And it'll be a swift change here.

00:20:52Looks like Steph and Sarah's about to get in the car, it looks to me.

00:20:55You like that pink helmet, don't you?

00:20:58Suit him.

00:20:58Yeah, it does, it does.

00:21:00Thanks ever so much, by the way, for those on-site.

00:21:02It's a question for you, Mark.

00:21:03Does the team reckon that the diesels will have their own class in the next couple of years?

00:21:09We suspect they won't be here, Mark, don't we?

00:21:11Well, who knows?

00:21:12Audi have already said their future's not necessarily diesel.

00:21:16Persia, I think, will be.

00:21:17But what sort of diesel it's going to be?

00:21:19Let's just have a look at this pit stop quickly.

00:21:21He ran for nine laps in the first stint.

00:21:23Eleven this time, so Liz, that's beginning to work up towards the twelve.

00:21:27We're forecasting maybe eleven is going to be the pace for the race.

00:21:30I think it won't be far off that, really, because they would have given themselves a bit of a window just to figure out their fuel and be safe at the beginning.

00:21:36But really about two laps off that is about right.

00:21:38Stefan Sarazin heading out now.

00:21:42Fantastic driver.

00:21:43It's going to be exciting to see what sort of time Stefan's going to put in.

00:21:45Also crucially, no tyre change.

00:21:47No, no tyre change.

00:21:48Not a big surprise, really.

00:21:49I mean, it is a bit cooler.

00:21:51You know, I'm sure most people will be double stinting, if not triple stinting.

00:21:54They couldn't do that last time by, last year.

00:21:58They had to change the tyres every single time.

00:22:00On the Bejo's.

00:22:00The balance is much, much improved.

00:22:02If they're double stinting, let's see how it rolls out there with this fresh race rubber.

00:22:07Sorry, not fresh race rubber.

00:22:09Previously, one sector has gone round in terms of their stops.

00:22:13It would be great to see the longevity of that.

00:22:15Thanks to Tom B for that question about the diesels.

00:22:17We think they may well be considering changing some of the rules just to kind of narrow the gap between petrol and diesel.

00:22:23They couldn't really have a separate class in LMP1.

00:22:26It's just nice to keep the mix out there.

00:22:27But they have got a little bit of an advantage, perhaps too much at the moment.

00:22:31They did, for development purposes, give them a helping hand with what they could do to the cars, didn't they, Mark?

00:22:37Yeah, the petrols were given 3% extra restrictor size this year.

00:22:41But the ACO has already said, we agree it's not enough.

00:22:44Yeah.

00:22:44They hadn't actually anticipated how much more development was coming from Peugeot and from Audi this year.

00:22:50So it could be as much as a 10% larger restrictor for next year.

00:22:53So thanks to Tom B for throwing that one up.

00:22:55If you've got any other questions for Liz, a driver perspective, always very, very welcome.

00:23:00It's great to have Liz have the onboarders here.

00:23:02Carlton, just look down at the timing screens, get down to the pink there.

00:23:05Blake and Mellon and Elgar, they are still tied together.

00:23:08And this has been incredible.

00:23:09This has been since the start of the race.

00:23:11We're now, what, an hour and 12 minutes in and they're still going at it hammer and tongs.

00:23:15Yep, the 31 car is the quicker of the two.

00:23:19They're lying in second spot at the moment.

00:23:21Just stops filtering out and all that kind of thing.

00:23:23Best lap so far for them, sub 340.

00:23:26That is very, very quick out there.

00:23:29That's very quick in the race for an LMP2 car.

00:23:31I mean, the times each year for LMP2 seem to get quicker and quicker.

00:23:35So, but that is a very quick pace during the race.

00:23:37What we're just looking for is the third place car, Warren Hughes in LMP2.

00:23:42He's running third at the moment.

00:23:43That's in the 45 Embassy car.

00:23:46Great little car there.

00:23:47Very, very pretty colour scheme.

00:23:49And here comes the ninth car.

00:23:50It only went round one more lap.

00:23:52Didn't want to fit them together.

00:23:53It is a long vehicle.

00:23:55I'm actually always surprised as he wrestles with his straps to get them loose here.

00:23:58I'm always surprised at just how diminutive these cars are.

00:24:02And when you see them on their own, they look like they must be enormous.

00:24:05But when you get up close, they really do shrink in front of you.

00:24:09They're very, very cute.

00:24:10And a very good view there of what goes on just before a pit stop.

00:24:14These drivers are very well prepared.

00:24:15You know, they've undone any drinks bottle they would have had.

00:24:18The radio comes off at the last second, stuck back onto the helmet so it doesn't get in the way.

00:24:22Belts are loosened up so he's ready to jump straight out of the car when he comes in.

00:24:25Really pushed it into pit lane there as well.

00:24:27Really absolutely to the last minute for the brakes.

00:24:29That was Manassian on the escape.

00:24:31This is the nine car that's actually in its box now.

00:24:33You can see how much Manassian was putting through the back wheels as he snooted on the

00:24:38way out there, determined not to lose a single inch of advantage.

00:24:42Absolutely.

00:24:43Well, this is what it's all about.

00:24:44I mean, you can really gain time in a race like a 24-hour race, being quick out of the

00:24:49pits, quick into the pits, not wasting any extra time that you, you know, that you can get

00:24:53away with, really.

00:24:54And something as easy as, you know, having a good run up to the pits.

00:24:57This saves you that few bit of seconds, you know, that adds up over 24 hours.

00:25:00Very important.

00:25:01Well, who's watching the whole race, says Britt Slott, and, well, he says he can't do it because

00:25:07he, unfortunately, he's got to work tomorrow.

00:25:10Well, well, well, fortunately is the word, because this is going to be one heck of a race.

00:25:15We're expecting that it might even turn into something of a classic.

00:25:17It will have to get a bit of a mix, though, between the Audis and the Peugeots.

00:25:21At the moment, Alamant Nish is up into third place as these stops start to filter through.

00:25:27He's surely going to have to come in in a moment, but he's on his opening run here, and I just

00:25:31wonder when he's going to come back.

00:25:36Well, we've wasted the balance of this off, weren't we?

00:25:41So, Christian Cleon.

00:25:42We don't know, is the answer.

00:25:43Right, our driver change is starting now in Peugeot.

00:25:46Christian Cleon on board the number nine car.

00:25:49Jacques Vildo is on board the number seven car, and Sarazan now on board the number eight.

00:25:53We're still waiting for the Audis to come in, make their changes.

00:25:56So, all three Peugeots have made their second stops.

00:25:59The Audis have yet to do that.

00:26:01The LMP2 battle is still going on like crazy.

00:26:04The Corvettes are still leading GT1.

00:26:06They're running quite a bit apart now.

00:26:08Oli Gavin's 13 seconds behind Mags.

00:26:10They were together, and in GT2, there is still only 0.7 of a second between the two cars

00:26:18there.

00:26:19And, incidentally, Johannes van Overbeek has got back past Jamie Mello.

00:26:23So, van Overbeek?

00:26:25Yeah, you know, Johannes has really come on in the last couple of years.

00:26:28He's gotten much, much, much quicker.

00:26:30He's really improved in the ALMS.

00:26:31I enjoyed watching him last year.

00:26:33He's learned a lot from having such, you know, quality co-drivers like he's had.

00:26:38And I think that he's going to really be a force to reckon with in the future.

00:26:41And just now, he's showing what talent he has.

00:26:43Jamie Mello, a fantastic driver.

00:26:45And he's out in front, pushing hard at Le Mans.

00:26:47It's nice to see.

00:26:48And two factory drivers behind him, of course.

00:26:50Exactly.

00:26:50So...

00:26:51Johannes, as the best privateer Porsche driver, won the Porsche Cup, didn't he, last year?

00:26:56Yes, yeah.

00:26:57That is already something.

00:26:58But Porsche haven't yet invited him to join, perhaps, because he's a gentleman.

00:27:01I'd like to see that.

00:27:02But, you know, and he wasn't as quick a few years ago.

00:27:04I think each year he gets better and better.

00:27:06And, you know, he's had some really awesome runs.

00:27:08He's really showed people that he is a force to reckon with.

00:27:11And I'd like to see Porsche give him a shot.

00:27:14Well, great commentary on this legendary race.

00:27:16Yet again, says James W.

00:27:18Thanks for the comment.

00:27:19We'll slap ourselves on the back.

00:27:20And you can slap yourselves on the back as well.

00:27:22It's super to have you out there.

00:27:24He says he works for Peugeot.

00:27:25So, he'd love them to do it.

00:27:27But he also loves the Aston Martins.

00:27:29I think just about everybody loves the Aston Martins.

00:27:31When they're out in the village, the crowd around them is tremendous.

00:27:35Now, on board here with Emmanuel A. Pirro, a real force of Le Mans.

00:27:39I mean, he's been around for ages.

00:27:40Such a charismatic, fun guy.

00:27:42You know, always says the right thing.

00:27:44And so complimentary of France and of this race.

00:27:47And, of course, has won it many times.

00:27:48So, you know, obviously another one I'd love to see him win it again.

00:27:51Because I think he's just...

00:27:52He's a special person in his own right.

00:27:54You know, he's always happy to deal with the crowd.

00:27:56He's always very complimentary of Audi.

00:27:58And, you know, really knows how to take the sport to another level.

00:28:01A little bit overshadowed by Tom Christensen as well.

00:28:04I mean, Emmanuel has been here 11 times.

00:28:05It's true.

00:28:06He's 1'5".

00:28:07Yeah.

00:28:07That's almost 50%.

00:28:09Exactly.

00:28:09That is such a huge record.

00:28:11He's such a good speaker as well.

00:28:12He is.

00:28:13He's just faultless in the press conference yesterday.

00:28:15And really giving the general picture as well.

00:28:17I think he's got a career after the drive.

00:28:20When that dries up, he's going to be part of their PR operation.

00:28:23You can be sure of that.

00:28:24I think this is part of what's kept Emmanuel involved for so long is, you know, he's a really

00:28:28nice person to have for Audi because he says the right thing.

00:28:31He does a good job in the car.

00:28:32He gets in.

00:28:33He's very consistent.

00:28:34You know, he does a bit of everything.

00:28:35A little bit of contact there.

00:28:36The 59 car had just been fast and they're just nudged into the back of one of the Audis.

00:28:42And, well, Alan McNish is on board.

00:28:44Perhaps it was him that got the bump.

00:28:46The first time in this race that McNish has actually become the leader.

00:28:49Of course, he's a pit stop out of sync at the moment.

00:28:52But McNish leading here at Le Mans.

00:28:54This is what Audi wants it to be.

00:28:57Obviously, in 23 hours' time, doesn't it?

00:29:00We've got David Richards waiting for us.

00:29:03Director of Racing at Aston Martin.

00:29:05This should be good.

00:29:07Really fast.

00:29:08How are you going to manage to push them?

00:29:11Well, we're holding about the same pace.

00:29:12If you look now, they got away a bit at the beginning.

00:29:14All the pit stops.

00:29:15They're 25 seconds in front now with the two cars.

00:29:19But we're holding the same pace as them at the moment.

00:29:22And it's a long way to go.

00:29:23Another 23 hours.

00:29:25For sure.

00:29:26What's going to be the strategy?

00:29:28Are you going to push hard until you pass over?

00:29:31Well, you know, with only 30 seconds between the cars.

00:29:33This is a race for 24 hours.

00:29:34It's not going to be one in the first one or two hours.

00:29:37But you just need a steady progress.

00:29:38We've got great drivers in all the cars.

00:29:41So we're looking forward to it.

00:29:42It'll come.

00:29:42The night will come.

00:29:43And tomorrow morning, we'll see what happens.

00:29:45So I come back tomorrow morning.

00:29:47We will be back tomorrow morning.

00:29:50We're hoping to get Dave Richards up in the notary position as well.

00:29:53It's always good for a quote.

00:29:55What was that to share with us today?

00:29:56Yeah, and of course, ProDrive doubly on fire and on two barrels this year with not only the GT1 cars that Dave was just talking about, but that Cherouz Lola Aston Martin engine car.

00:30:08We haven't seen it for a while.

00:30:09We haven't talked about it for a while.

00:30:10It has actually lost the petrol lead, Carlton.

00:30:13It's got behind Bouillon at the moment.

00:30:14Bouillon in the Pescarola.

00:30:16He's got himself into seventh place overall.

00:30:19But Booker still hanging on in there.

00:30:21And they've put in some very quick times.

00:30:23They have done a 2.29 there.

00:30:27But it's interesting.

00:30:28Watching the Peugeot at the top.

00:30:29They're all running on 3.22 as regularly now.

00:30:32They're always the Pescarolos ready to pounce, aren't they?

00:30:35He would love to win it as an owner.

00:30:38Second place, just not good enough as far as he's concerned.

00:30:41We'll see if the great beard, the Lion Man himself, can get back, or at least help his team get back up there, where, of course, he was as a driver.

00:30:48We're going to take a break, and we'll be back live in a moment from Le Mans.

00:30:56Welcome back to Le Mans.

00:30:57We're here on Eurosport, and Alan McNish just completing his second pit stop.

00:31:02He was the race leader until this point.

00:31:03He goes back out again, and those Peugeots are going to be 1, 2, and 3 again.

00:31:08I'm Mark Coe with me.

00:31:09Liz Halliday, Carlton Kirby, bringing you all the live coverage throughout the 24 hours of Le Mans together with the rest of our team.

00:31:16There's McNish then, getting back out into traffic.

00:31:19And Liz, he's stayed on board, of course, so he's triple stinting.

00:31:23Yeah, I think a lot of these top drivers will triple stint their way through, especially on a day like today.

00:31:28It's not that hot.

00:31:29You know, this is definitely a circuit where you can do a lot of stints, because you have so many straights where you can have a bit of a deep breath and, you know, have a rest.

00:31:36So, certainly, we'll see a lot of these top drivers doing three stints.

00:31:39Now, that's interesting you're saying about that, because, of course, the three Peugeots have all changed drivers, and they're coupes.

00:31:45That's true.

00:31:46There's definitely going to be a lot hotter in there.

00:31:48I mean, a lot hotter.

00:31:49There's a serious advantage, as far as temperature goes, by being in a car without a roof, and I personally much prefer it.

00:31:55So, yeah, that could be part of an issue, or maybe it was just their plan all along, get all the drivers in, and then carry on with some longer stints.

00:32:01That's what a lot of teams will do.

00:32:02Now, despite the caption, this is our new leader, Stefan Sarazan.

00:32:06He is now on board the car.

00:32:07He put on pole position for the second consecutive year.

00:32:10That distinctive helmet there, and Stefan, he's going to try and drop that time down to 3.20, I'm sure.

00:32:17Look for him putting a quick lap in, fastest lap of the race, perhaps before conditions might change.

00:32:25Stefan Sarazan, of course, was a fantastic driver in the Aston Martin back a couple years ago, and moved quite smoothly into this Peugeot.

00:32:32So, really a force to reckon with in any car, I think, and it's nice to see him here back on pole again for the second year in a row.

00:32:39And again, a Formula One driver of the past, but only one Grand Prix, and it was a Grand Prix, how's that?

00:32:44The Brazilian Grand Prix in 1999, when he rolled the Prost, the final corner coming onto the top straight there, and that was his one and only appearance.

00:32:53For some reason, he wasn't invited back again.

00:32:55Well, certainly he stepped into sports car racing with a bit of panache, so there's not been any problem there for his career.

00:33:00We've all been impressed. Christian Klein in second, and Jack Villeneuve in third, and we're just hearing...

00:33:09Yes, it's the 83 Ferrari has abandoned due to an accident.

00:33:15I'm just wondering, actually, whether that Rizzi Competizione car, it was the green car, Green Liberty, was it Crone Racing?

00:33:22I think it was, Rizzi Crone, the team owner.

00:33:23They have abandoned, we are hearing. It must be deep into the course here.

00:33:29Maybe it was one of those cars that we saw that they, static on the road, just nosed into part of the concrete area.

00:33:36But it has abandoned the 83 car we are hearing.

00:33:40Yeah, Dick Jonson started that car.

00:33:41Tracy Crone had certainly crashed it here last Sunday and put himself in hospital for a short time.

00:33:46Luckily, he was able to fly home the following morning, but did a lot of damage to the car.

00:33:50Sent back to Michelotto in Italy.

00:33:52His rebuilt came back here, but sadly, it's race is over.

00:33:55Well, we're looking at the 20 car, the Epsilon machine.

00:33:59That was the one that was always going to be here, and the 32 as well, which is always terrific to see.

00:34:05Incidentally, we won't use the marker of doom on our war board yet on the 83 car until we've got double confirmation.

00:34:13But we're hearing the initial reports that the 83 car has pulled out.

00:34:18Real blow for Rizzi Competizione, and a real blow as well for the scrap in GT2.

00:34:23Yeah, and very, very early on.

00:34:24It's always extremely disappointing to have it happen this early on, to be out of the race.

00:34:28I mean, in a 24-hour race, to be out after, well, less than an hour.

00:34:32Well, no, an hour and a half, sorry, is really disappointing.

00:34:35And, you know, sadly, probably none of the drivers have been in aside from the one who started.

00:34:39And, you know, this is why a lot of teams sometimes try and cycle all their drivers through.

00:34:42They try and get a stint in so that everybody gets a chance to get in the car.

00:34:46And then they move through to double stints, and, you know, just because these things can happen.

00:34:50Yeah.

00:34:50We've got a question in from Mr. Formula One on the forum.

00:34:53It says, just how fast will the Formula One car go around this circuit?

00:34:57Probably around about Peugeot pace, I reckon.

00:34:59What do you think?

00:35:00Oh, yeah, perhaps a little bit quicker.

00:35:03Just a little bit.

00:35:05But no, I'm not sure, but it's going to be very, very fast.

00:35:07I wonder if they'll ever put one on here just to test it out.

00:35:10I don't think the ACO would actually allow it.

00:35:12They wouldn't want that kind of thing, sort of badging themselves up as being a slower vehicle, perhaps.

00:35:17But the question is, would a Formula One car be able to last the 24 hours?

00:35:21And the answer to that is definitely not.

00:35:23Yeah, I think that would be a feat of nature in itself, personally.

00:35:26Absolutely.

00:35:27But, yeah, there you go.

00:35:29Formula One 24-hour race.

00:35:31There's our future.

00:35:32Forget it.

00:35:32Remember that British American Racing took their Honda-powered Formula One car to the Utah Saltfrats to try and get the all-time record.

00:35:40They only broke 300 kilometers an hour and gave up at that point.

00:35:44Well, as you know, we've seen the Peugeots here at 3.44.

00:35:47We've seen Formula One cars gain quicker on other circuits, Monza and Spa.

00:35:50But quite interesting, when they try to do straight-line driving, they just don't see if you've got to hack it.

00:35:55Yeah, that's true.

00:35:56Jaguar Ash says we should start a campaign to get Jaguar back here.

00:36:01Well, they're around, I have to tell you, Jaguar Ash.

00:36:06Thanks for your call.

00:36:08Jaguar heavily, heavily part of the proceedings around the village here.

00:36:14We're not just talking, they're not just here for the barbecue, that's for sure.

00:36:18They have plans for the future, and, well, we're looking forward to finding out exactly what it's about.

00:36:23The late David Leslie, it does tie in with him.

00:36:26He was busy testing a car that we believe could well have been a future contender here at Le Mans.

00:36:33Oh, yes, very much so.

00:36:34The car's racing, of course, in the FIGT now, and it's already starting to show some good form.

00:36:40But if that could become an official factory entry, great.

00:36:44Instead, we're looking at LMP2, they're moving up the order, 13th and 14th.

00:36:48Now, there's two cars, the Dutch car and the Danish car, tied together still.

00:36:52I mean, after an hour and a half's racing, they're still only two seconds together.

00:36:57But Frank Bieler, he's just got out of the number one Audi.

00:37:02We're just moving towards him with our camera, edging Ebbers are slightly nearer and nearer.

00:37:06He's not looking best happy.

00:37:08I'm sure he'll be sparing his a few smiles, but it's the number one, don't forget, the Audi that Frank has just got out of.

00:37:16It must be a difficult time for him.

00:37:18I can't wait to find out his comments on a day like this, when Peugeot 1, 2 and 3,

00:37:23and incidentally, lapping, the fastest has just been set by Sarrazan, 321.872.

00:37:31He's gone three, he's just nudging towards that magical 320 mark here.

00:37:36That's a tremendous blast around.

00:37:40Yep, he is out there on the top, and nobody is close to him, not even his colleagues.

00:37:46A full second slower is Klein, and Villeneuve is just in the warm-up mode at the moment,

00:37:51on board the seventh car, and he's running in third place.

00:37:55As for the Audis, well, their best time so far, Alan McNish, 325.5 seconds, 325.5,

00:38:05and, well, that's a country mile, really, or it will be by the time this race unfolds,

00:38:11if they have got the fuel mileage on board with Emmanuel Di Piro.

00:38:14Let's speak to Frank Bieler, though, and get his thoughts on the difference between these two great marks here.

00:38:20Frank, the first end looks good. How was it?

00:38:24It was okay.

00:38:27I'm quite happy. The car is okay. No major problem.

00:38:31I think the grip level is not very good at the moment,

00:38:34so I hope this will develop during the race,

00:38:37and then our car should be even better.

00:38:40But the position is okay.

00:38:42It's a long race, and we are quite happy with what we have at the moment.

00:38:47There is a fight between you and the other Audi,

00:38:50because you just passed six, so Lourdes just passed you.

00:38:53Yes, I mean, it was good fun.

00:38:55I mean, once he was sucked in traffic, then later on I was sucked in traffic,

00:39:00and so we were changing two or three times,

00:39:02which was nice, so that doesn't make it too boring then.

00:39:07Thank you very much.

00:39:09Yeah, thanks, Frank.

00:39:10He didn't exactly sound overjoyed, did he?

00:39:13He's kind of taking big breaths before he answered every question.

00:39:16It's not that he doesn't understand the question.

00:39:18It's just what on earth do you say when people are pointing out,

00:39:21essentially, a huge gap between yourself and the leaders?

00:39:25Well, it's especially hard for someone who has one limo,

00:39:27and also, you know, for Audi, who's been such a dominant force here for so long.

00:39:31You know, it's got to be very difficult to be quite a ways back, frankly,

00:39:35off the Peugeot's pace, and yes, you know, he can confidently say,

00:39:39it's 24 hours, it's fine, you know, we're doing what we want,

00:39:41but it's still a bit of a blow to your heart, isn't it,

00:39:44when you're, you know, just back off the guys and you want to be up in front.

00:39:47Yeah, and the other thing, of course,

00:39:48we're not sure Frank will be continuing after Le Mans,

00:39:51because his contract isn't being renewed past Le Mans,

00:39:54and a lot depends on how he does this weekend, I guess.

00:39:57Yes, exactly.

00:39:59Liz, we just talked about triple stinting,

00:40:01but Nish is the only one of the three Audi drivers to have done it,

00:40:03because Lua took over from Rockenfella,

00:40:05and Piero took over from Biela,

00:40:07but Alan has stayed in the car.

00:40:09Does this suggest he's got more stamina, better fitness?

00:40:12Well, Alan tends to always stay in the car for quite a long time.

00:40:14He's always been that sort of driver that gets in and does a triple.

00:40:17He does that in the ALMS as well a lot of the time,

00:40:19really stays in for a long, long, long stint.

00:40:21So I think maybe it's just a decision between team and drivers,

00:40:25and maybe just what everybody's happy with,

00:40:26and it may have even been an issue where they've said,

00:40:28you know, Alan, if you're happy to stay in for three, then stay in,

00:40:31and he's very, very fit.

00:40:33Like I say, he's always been a driver who tends to stay in the car

00:40:35for a long period of time,

00:40:36and to be honest, if you're putting the times in

00:40:38and you're consistent and doing a good job,

00:40:40there's no point to get out if you're happy to stay in.

00:40:42Thanks to Freddie Kaye.

00:40:43He throws up a poser.

00:40:45He says he's seen pictures of the R15 lying around on the web.

00:40:51I think that's probably somebody's imagination.

00:40:54The word is that Audi may well start thinking about

00:40:56using a different class vehicle out there, Mark.

00:41:00Yeah, this is a German magazine who came up with this sort of photo montage,

00:41:04built a car from computer graphics,

00:41:08and then sprung a surprise to that this is the new Audi.

00:41:11It doesn't actually exist.

00:41:12It's only virtual in this German magazine's mind.

00:41:15We're thinking they may well start thinking about GT1 or the rest.

00:41:18Of course, they may be near the truth, of course.

00:41:22The word at the moment is that they would use the R8

00:41:24as a basis for a coupe in an MP1, of course.

00:41:29Which should be very exciting.

00:41:31It's the RS4 that everyone's pointing to,

00:41:33saying this could be the next GT1 car.

00:41:35Yeah, absolutely.

00:41:36So, RS4 running in GT1, the R8 running in the top class,

00:41:40kind of a la McLaren a few years ago.

00:41:42That would be fascinating, wouldn't it?

00:41:44And, of course, Aston Martin are working towards an LMP2-engined car for next year,

00:41:48so they've got coverage in all four classes.

00:41:50I mean, Dave Richards hasn't denied that.

00:41:53It's not a real shock, though,

00:41:54because you've seen the impressive comeback of a Porsche LMP car.

00:41:59And I think a lot of people have seen Porsche winning in GT2 this

00:42:01and then winning in LMP2.

00:42:03It would be nice to sort of take over that side of things,

00:42:05you know, with some other manufacturers as well.

00:42:07It would be great to have a fight between, you know,

00:42:09some previous only LMP or GT, you know,

00:42:12up against each other in another class.

00:42:13I think it would be exciting and sort of open things up a bit more.

00:42:16It's amazing how minds are just focused

00:42:17when it comes to all of the different classes here.

00:42:20And the word is as well that Aston Martin

00:42:21would like to be dominant in all of the classes.

00:42:24And why not, indeed?

00:42:25Porsche have played the game so successfully

00:42:28throughout every single one of the classes

00:42:30and just loving exactly that.

00:42:33Just the competition within that band is what it's all about.

00:42:36We're going to take ourselves a short commercial break.

00:42:38There will be a few chops and changes of personnel

00:42:41as we go through the day.

00:42:42But we will be staying live,

00:42:43sort of flitting between our various Eurosport channels

00:42:45so if ever you do lose the pictures,

00:42:47just go back to your menu

00:42:48and make sure you check out

00:42:50what's being shown on the other Eurosport channels.

00:42:52We will be live throughout this race.

00:42:53Don't forget that.

00:42:57Welcome back.

00:42:58Another smooth stop at Aston Martin,

00:43:00one of the golf carts just coming out.

00:43:03Beautiful, beautiful sight.

00:43:04Looks like he's all on his own here.

00:43:05Nice bit of clear track as he heads up towards the Dunlop curbs.

00:43:08Thanks to everybody on the website.

00:43:10If you'd like to join the conversation,

00:43:12it's eurosport.yahoo.co.uk.

00:43:14Go to the message boards,

00:43:17hit motorsport,

00:43:18find Le Mans.

00:43:19It's Le Mans.

00:43:20It's the race weekend live.

00:43:22Race weekend live is the thread.

00:43:24And there's an awful lot of fans

00:43:25who just love this stuff just as you do.

00:43:28Incidentally, those side lights

00:43:29that you just got a view of there,

00:43:31the green lights lit up,

00:43:32all three of them on this car,

00:43:33the 009 car,

00:43:34which shows that it is third in class at the moment.

00:43:37Third in class for 009.

00:43:40It did pit off second.

00:43:41We've been talking about coupes this afternoon

00:43:43for LMP2.

00:43:45Good news for the speedy racing team,

00:43:48Seba.

00:43:49Xavier Pompidou's moved himself up into third in class.

00:43:52He's now in the top 18.

00:43:53The other two cars,

00:43:54the two Porsches of Verstappen and Elgarde,

00:43:57they are 13th and 14th.

00:43:59But again,

00:44:00coupes are starting to make their mark here.

00:44:02And this car will look out at the moment.

00:44:04Antonio Garcia,

00:44:05he came into the pits

00:44:06and he actually jumped Oliver Beretta's Corvette

00:44:09when they came out.

00:44:10So we believe that that car at the end of his lap

00:44:12is going to be in second place.

00:44:13And of course,

00:44:14of course,

00:44:14fantastic for Antonio to get his shot

00:44:16in the works car at this Le Mans.

00:44:18I have shared a car with him.

00:44:20He's a great guy,

00:44:21amazing Aston driver,

00:44:22really a lot of skill.

00:44:23And I think it's thrilling for him

00:44:25to have been involved in the works Aston opportunity

00:44:27this time around.

00:44:28Well,

00:44:28David Bradham had just closed down

00:44:30and on and on and on

00:44:31on Olly Gavin's tail.

00:44:32And then finally,

00:44:33managed to say,

00:44:34when they handed the cars over,

00:44:36able to jump that car.

00:44:37Oliver Beretta's now taken over from Olly Gavin.

00:44:40So at the moment,

00:44:41Magnuson García

00:44:42and Beretta

00:44:42appear to be our top three,

00:44:44but Magnuson,

00:44:45we're not sure what he's doing at the moment

00:44:47because he's been shown

00:44:47he's no pit stops,

00:44:48which is quite untrue.

00:44:50We know he's had two.

00:44:51Wendling has only had one.

00:44:52We're waiting for that Aston Martin to come in.

00:44:54But up top,

00:44:55Sarazan,

00:44:56Klien

00:44:57and

00:44:58Villeneuve.

00:44:59Situation normal for Persia.

00:45:00Absolutely.

00:45:01Villeneuve

00:45:01just happy to pace it around there.

00:45:04And he's enjoying it as well.

00:45:05Last lap of 327.182.

00:45:07Not the quickest for that car,

00:45:09but he's coming up to speed now

00:45:10and he's going through

00:45:10several speed guns at the back of the track

00:45:12and looking happy.

00:45:13Connor Ray says,

00:45:14what happened to the Lambo?

00:45:15I can tell you,

00:45:15Connor,

00:45:16the 55 machine has still got the back end off

00:45:19and they don't look in any kind of hurry

00:45:21from what we can see.

00:45:22It's kind of diagonally across

00:45:24from our commentary position

00:45:25and I'm hoping it's not terminal.

00:45:27Another Lambo bad luck story at Le Mans itself.

00:45:30So that would be a heartbreaker

00:45:31after the J-Lock boys just packed up

00:45:33and went home like this.

00:45:34We haven't even warmed up the markers

00:45:35to do yet.

00:45:35I mean,

00:45:36it's too early.

00:45:37Well,

00:45:37we think we've got one car already gone.

00:45:39That's the 83 Rizzi Ferrari

00:45:41declared at an end

00:45:43and withdrawn,

00:45:44but haven't got officially that just yet.

00:45:47Magnussen brings in the lead Corvette,

00:45:49the 63 car.

00:45:50They jump on the car.

00:45:51They've got tyres,

00:45:52fuel

00:45:53and there'll be a driver change.

00:45:54There we go.

00:45:55Well,

00:45:56that's that.

00:45:56But the pictures you're watching

00:45:57are the Bergeau

00:45:58just flying its trade

00:46:00absolutely brilliantly

00:46:01up to the Dunlop curves

00:46:02and really,

00:46:03just look at that.

00:46:04How smooth does that look?

00:46:06Almost looks like a training run.

00:46:08Believe me,

00:46:08anything but.

00:46:09The number eight car

00:46:10just went round

00:46:11in 3.22.0.25.

00:46:13It's actually pacing

00:46:15its best lap

00:46:16for 3.21.

00:46:18So,

00:46:183.22,

00:46:19don't forget,

00:46:20during the race

00:46:20it would have been

00:46:21more than good enough

00:46:22for Paul last time by.

00:46:24There's the seven car

00:46:24in the hands of Jacques Villeneuve

00:46:26and his pace

00:46:28is starting to rise as well.

00:46:30A little bit of traffic

00:46:30last time by

00:46:31slowing down

00:46:32but solidly in third place.

00:46:34Alan McNich,

00:46:34the best of the Audis

00:46:37at the moment

00:46:37and the Porsches,

00:46:39the RS fighters

00:46:39have just been split

00:46:40for the time being.

00:46:41Pascarola of Bregoire

00:46:43is just between them

00:46:45with Elgar and Verstappen

00:46:46running in second place

00:46:47at the moment.

00:46:47They've been

00:46:48kind of swapping positions,

00:46:49almost pacing each other

00:46:50at the top

00:46:50of the LMP2 standings.

00:46:52Super pit stop

00:46:53for the Corvette team.

00:46:54They've got that car

00:46:55with Johnny O'Connell

00:46:56out so quickly.

00:46:57They're still in the lead

00:46:58and right behind him

00:46:59Carl Wendling

00:47:00has brought the second

00:47:01of the Gulf Astons in.

00:47:03That's the 007 car.

00:47:04He's just had a quick stop

00:47:05as well.

00:47:06Fuel and tyres

00:47:07and who's taking over

00:47:08from Wendling?

00:47:09Let's see.

00:47:09They've all done two stints now

00:47:11as he goes past

00:47:12the transponder.

00:47:13It's not changing

00:47:13at the moment.

00:47:14Has he stayed on board?

00:47:15I think possibly he has.

00:47:16I didn't see a driver change

00:47:18go on there

00:47:18but we weren't paying attention.

00:47:19OK, fair enough.

00:47:20Puccini.

00:47:21Puccini's on board.

00:47:23Just looking at some

00:47:24of the loose wires

00:47:25which look to be attached

00:47:26to just below

00:47:29the windscreen wiper.

00:47:30There's rather an

00:47:31incongruous knot

00:47:32in the wires there.

00:47:34Slightly,

00:47:36it looks a lot cleaner

00:47:37on board this Peugeot,

00:47:38I can tell you that much.

00:47:39So, yeah,

00:47:41that's the sister car actually.

00:47:43Clyde,

00:47:44just taking a little bit

00:47:45of a drink.

00:47:45Yeah, he's sucking his thumb.

00:47:48Yeah, that happens a lot.

00:47:50Just releasing the valve there

00:47:51to give himself

00:47:52a little toot

00:47:52of something wet

00:47:53and he'll be pleased

00:47:54about that

00:47:55and they'll be pleased

00:47:56as well

00:47:57about the progress

00:47:57that they're making

00:47:58out there.

00:47:58Peugeot looking so dominant,

00:48:00Mark.

00:48:00He comes back

00:48:01to the age-old question

00:48:02about distance.

00:48:03Oh, there's a spin-up

00:48:04and there's debris

00:48:05in the circuit as well

00:48:06so it looks like

00:48:07there's been contact.

00:48:08Been in the wall

00:48:08and he's so lucky

00:48:09it's happened just here

00:48:10but maybe he was slowing

00:48:11down to come in.

00:48:12It's the 12 car

00:48:13and he's got damage

00:48:14at the back end.

00:48:15Sheru's racing systems

00:48:16and it's muscle milk

00:48:17and, well,

00:48:19he's muscled himself

00:48:19into the armco there

00:48:21and that's a shame

00:48:21and he's not alone.

00:48:23There's been contact

00:48:24clearly

00:48:24and just zooming over.

00:48:27Unfortunately,

00:48:28he just switched away

00:48:28from it

00:48:29and this looks,

00:48:30I'm hoping that's tired

00:48:31but it may well be

00:48:32something mechanical

00:48:33at the back now.

00:48:34That car running

00:48:34in 23rd place.

00:48:35We think it might be

00:48:36Greg Fickett on board.

00:48:37Perhaps you can recognise

00:48:38his helmet, Liz.

00:48:40Oh, I'm not sure

00:48:40but I know he did start

00:48:42the race, definitely.

00:48:42This is his first

00:48:43Le Mans as well.

00:48:45An exciting opportunity

00:48:46for the ex-trans-am driver.

00:48:48But we're not really sure

00:48:49what happened there.

00:48:50It's come up as grass.

00:48:51OK.

00:48:52Not sure what happened there.

00:48:54You know,

00:48:55possibly maybe he actually

00:48:56slowed down to come

00:48:57into the pits

00:48:57and there was a bit

00:48:58of a misunderstanding there.

00:48:59He may well have

00:48:59picked up debris

00:49:00from another car.

00:49:01Possibly, yeah.

00:49:02It's very possible.

00:49:02There is one out there.

00:49:03He may have just had

00:49:05an accident.

00:49:05He's gone over.

00:49:06It's debris.

00:49:07Yeah, that's possible.

00:49:08Mark's just sifting through

00:49:09trying to see if we've got

00:49:10another closer picture of it.

00:49:11What does that look like?

00:49:12It looks like there's

00:49:12the front end missing

00:49:13off that car.

00:49:14So it's been quite a big impact

00:49:16it looks like.

00:49:16It's the Zytec of Karim OJ,

00:49:18the man who crashed

00:49:19on the 19th hour last year

00:49:21when heading for a podium finished.

00:49:22What a shame.

00:49:23Oh, dear.

00:49:23Unfortunately, this is, like we say,

00:49:27not the first time this sort of thing

00:49:28has happened at Karim at Le Mans.

00:49:30I hate to say that,

00:49:31but, you know,

00:49:31he has had the odd record

00:49:33of having an accident at Le Mans.

00:49:35So I sincerely hope

00:49:36that this was not something

00:49:37that was his fault.

00:49:38But very early on

00:49:39to be having an accident

00:49:40such as that.

00:49:41Yeah, this is the car,

00:49:42of course, his mother bought.

00:49:43So, owned by Mrs. OJ.

00:49:45Mommy won't be pleased.

00:49:46Yeah.

00:49:47Mrs. won't be pleased.

00:49:49Let's take a look at this.

00:49:51Now, that was late on

00:49:52and I think they both were involved.

00:49:55Yeah, there was contact there.

00:49:56That was the end of a spin

00:49:59caused by contact

00:50:00by the looks of things.

00:50:01They're just changing the wheels over

00:50:02before they actually do anything.

00:50:03Deal with the back,

00:50:04check it properly.

00:50:05Now that they've done that,

00:50:07well, we've got to put them back on,

00:50:08as if you're going to put them back in the car.

00:50:11Well, they're not worried about it enough

00:50:13to push the car onto the car, are they?

00:50:14Look, they're not going to go out with that.

00:50:16He might, yeah.

00:50:17Finally, the covers comes off the back.

00:50:20We're going to have a word

00:50:21with Jan Magnussen in just a moment

00:50:23from the Corvette 63 car,

00:50:25the lead car.

00:50:26Connell's having that one now,

00:50:27and Bradley at the moment.

00:50:28Class lead, but significantly marked.

00:50:30The Aston's have started to creep up.

00:50:32This has been the lucky car

00:50:33in the LMS ships.

00:50:34It's one that's had all the luck,

00:50:35all the wins,

00:50:36whereas the Ollies haven't.

00:50:37Let's hear what he's got to say.

00:50:39Jan, very good, sir.

00:50:42Still leading.

00:50:43Easy, sir.

00:50:45No, it's not so easy.

00:50:47Conditions are a little bit different

00:50:49than when we were head-quantifying.

00:50:52So the setup of the car right now

00:50:54is not so good.

00:50:55I think when the track starts to grip up,

00:50:58it will be better for us.

00:50:59But right now,

00:50:59we're hanging on a little bit.

00:51:01But everybody's just trying

00:51:03to settle down their pace,

00:51:04and I think that's what we're doing now.

00:51:06It'll be okay, I'm sure.

00:51:08The Aston Martin are pushing really hard.

00:51:10They're now second just behind you.

00:51:12How do you get a minute?

00:51:15Well, you know,

00:51:16it's early.

00:51:20I don't mind if they lead

00:51:21for an hour or two

00:51:22in the beginning of the race,

00:51:23as long as we lead at the end.

00:51:25Thank you, Jan.

00:51:29Doug says he doesn't care

00:51:30just for the time being

00:51:31as long as they lead at the end.

00:51:33Well, that's the trick,

00:51:36quite frankly.

00:51:38Carlton, while that's been going on,

00:51:40fabulous action in the pits

00:51:41that we haven't seen on the screen,

00:51:43Johannes van Oberbeck came in,

00:51:44still leading GT2,

00:51:46followed in by Jamie Mello.

00:51:47They got out again.

00:51:48Van Oberbeck still in the lead.

00:51:50But the interesting thing,

00:51:51Mika Salo's taken over the car,

00:51:53and they went out almost together.

00:51:55So in that case,

00:51:56there's a driver change

00:51:57that didn't take any longer

00:51:58than not changing a driver.

00:52:00Well, let's be honest.

00:52:01This team is very, very polished.

00:52:03Mika and Jamie have driven

00:52:05for a long time together now,

00:52:06a couple of years,

00:52:07maybe even three years now.

00:52:08So certainly I would expect

00:52:10their pit stops to be

00:52:11absolutely polished to perfection.

00:52:14So I'm not surprised

00:52:15that they've been that quick.

00:52:16Now, Johannes has got an hour

00:52:17of running under him,

00:52:18so he's familiar with the track now,

00:52:19the continuity's there.

00:52:20Mika's just got to learn

00:52:21the conditions, hasn't he,

00:52:23for the first lap or two.

00:52:24So is that going to give

00:52:25Johannes just the racer's edge

00:52:26for a while?

00:52:27Well, I don't know.

00:52:28I mean, Mika Salo's very,

00:52:29very quick to get right on the pace.

00:52:31I mean, he's always been

00:52:31that sort of driver.

00:52:32You know, he's bang on

00:52:33his best time straight away.

00:52:34So I don't think it's going to be

00:52:36that big of a difference,

00:52:37to be honest.

00:52:37And, you know,

00:52:38I think he's out that thing

00:52:39quicker so far.

00:52:40Well, we won't know yet.

00:52:41Yeah, we'll see.

00:52:42But no, I don't think

00:52:43there's going to be much advantage

00:52:44when you're talking about

00:52:45a driver like Mika Salo.

00:52:46I think it's hard

00:52:47to find any advantage over him.

00:52:49It certainly is.

00:52:50We're going to have

00:52:50a few personnel changes right here.

00:52:52We've got Jeremy Shaw

00:52:53just coming into the hot seat

00:52:54in just a few moments of time.

00:52:57We've got the Spikers as well

00:52:59there in the pits.

00:53:00It's nice and calm,

00:53:02I have to say.

00:53:03No hurry about them at all.

00:53:05Well, you don't want it

00:53:06that calm, fellas.

00:53:08I'm just wondering, actually,

00:53:09just we spoke to Peter Dunbrecht.

00:53:12We mentioned it during

00:53:13the warm-up this morning.

00:53:15Peter Dunbrecht has just been

00:53:16saying that the car

00:53:17has taken a step forward.

00:53:20But unfortunately for them,

00:53:22everyone else has as well.

00:53:23And that is a huge shame.

00:53:25Ashton Martin and the 10 car.

00:53:27Oh, my life.

00:53:28It's all gone terribly wrong

00:53:30for them.

00:53:30That is a big accident as well.

00:53:32Booker is there.

00:53:33The 41 car incidentally

00:53:34has lost a wheel

00:53:35and just is beached.

00:53:36Can't move anywhere.

00:53:37And that's a big one.

00:53:38It's a big one.

00:53:39And that is a huge shame.

00:53:41Cherus Racing Systems.

00:53:43And they're saying,

00:53:44shut it down.

00:53:44Stop trying to drive it out.

00:53:45You're not going to get

00:53:46back to the pits.

00:53:47You're going to have

00:53:47to be dragged out.

00:53:48There it is.

00:53:50Just trying to see

00:53:51which Indy hit first.

00:53:52Back end.

00:53:53And it's the expensive part,

00:53:55unfortunately.

00:53:56And this is a sad thing to see.

00:53:59Sad indeed.

00:54:01Liz, a heartbreaker

00:54:02when you're back waiting to go in.

00:54:04They were just actually

00:54:05heading back to make that change.

00:54:07And, well, you know,

00:54:10if you don't get to drive

00:54:11and you're actually waiting,

00:54:12you're all keyed up,

00:54:13you've done all the training,

00:54:14you've done everything as well,

00:54:15that must be more disappointing

00:54:16even than for the mechanics

00:54:18who've got to deal with this.

00:54:18Yeah, I mean,

00:54:19that's the worst fear

00:54:21for any driver

00:54:22is that you're going to

00:54:22come all the way to Le Mans

00:54:23and not get a chance

00:54:24to drive at all.

00:54:25You know, and especially,

00:54:26I think he's gone off there

00:54:27at the Dunlop Chicane,

00:54:28it looked like,

00:54:29which is a, you know,

00:54:30that's a tricky area.

00:54:31That's a place where

00:54:31a lot of people have lost it

00:54:32and crashed at high speed.

00:54:33And it is very, you know,

00:54:34it's a bit bumpy under braking

00:54:35and it's a bit polished

00:54:36and it's very easy to lock

00:54:37the rear wheels there

00:54:38under braking.

00:54:39And I'm thinking

00:54:39that perhaps that's happened.

00:54:40He's just overcooked it

00:54:41a little bit

00:54:41and then it's fired it

00:54:43off backwards.

00:54:44But, yeah, you know,

00:54:45really, really unfortunate

00:54:46this early on

00:54:47because, you know,

00:54:48the mechanics have done

00:54:49all the work,

00:54:49the drivers are here

00:54:50to do their job

00:54:51and either you've not

00:54:52driven at all

00:54:53or you've done very little

00:54:53and it's all over

00:54:55and done with

00:54:55before the night's even set.

00:54:56It's a real shame.

00:54:57And, of course,

00:54:58going off in that area

00:54:59as well,

00:55:00the marshals certainly

00:55:01aren't going to let you

00:55:02come back into a chicane.

00:55:03It's a very, very busy place,

00:55:04isn't it?

00:55:05Yeah, it is.

00:55:05You can't get a proper view

00:55:06either at that point.

00:55:07It is, and unfortunately,

00:55:08a lot of it comes down

00:55:09to where you end up

00:55:10when you've had a spin

00:55:10or a crash like that.

00:55:12Sometimes people can be lucky.

00:55:13You can end up facing

00:55:13just so that you can

00:55:14actually sort of

00:55:15get the car back out again

00:55:16but a lot of times

00:55:17the marshals will just stop you.

00:55:18It depends what sort

00:55:19of safety zone you're in.

00:55:20Yeah, absolutely.

00:55:21You also saw the 41

00:55:21training performance machine,

00:55:24the Zytec 07S

00:55:25and Karim OJ

00:55:26who's just lost the front end

00:55:28just detached wheel

00:55:29and it really did look

00:55:31snapped off as well.

00:55:32There's going to be

00:55:33all kinds of suspension issues

00:55:35and the Porsche No. 8

00:55:36is coming into the pits as well.

00:55:38We'll be having a look

00:55:38at that in a moment

00:55:39and the roar of the cars

00:55:41as they come by.

00:55:42We may well try and get

00:55:43an interview for you

00:55:44down there as well

00:55:44as we welcome Jeremy.

00:55:46Sure, Jeremy,

00:55:47it's been amazing so far.

00:55:50So much has gone on.

00:55:51Yeah, no real surprises

00:55:53I don't think

00:55:53from my perspective.

00:55:54You know, the Peugeots,

00:55:56they were the class

00:55:57of the field in qualifying.

00:55:58They've maintained that form

00:55:59in the race.

00:56:00The Audis have been running well

00:56:02but just not well enough

00:56:03in terms of outright pace

00:56:04of course slow.

00:56:05It's very, very early stages

00:56:07in this race

00:56:07but the picture hasn't changed

00:56:09and that is the order.

00:56:11It's the turbo diesel

00:56:12way out in front

00:56:13and as you were just saying

00:56:14it's really sad

00:56:15to see that Lola Aston

00:56:16having that problem.

00:56:17It certainly is.

00:56:18We were hoping

00:56:19that that was going to be

00:56:20one of the lead petrol cars

00:56:21and maybe even just dice it

00:56:23a little bit

00:56:23to unseat one of the diesels.

00:56:26It did that in qualification

00:56:27but it's a heartbreaker

00:56:28for them for now.

00:56:30Let's just hope

00:56:30it's fixable

00:56:31and they can get back out there.

00:56:32You wouldn't want to wish

00:56:33any ill on anybody

00:56:35least of all that crew.

00:56:36We'll be back

00:56:37after this short break

00:56:38stay with us live here.

00:56:43Welcome back.

00:56:44We've just seen

00:56:44speeder racing

00:56:45being attended to

00:56:46in the pits

00:56:46and it goes on as well.

00:56:48The Peugeot

00:56:49seem to be coming in

00:56:50thick and fast

00:56:51certainly more frequently

00:56:52than the Audis.

00:56:54Oh dear.

00:56:54Muscle milk's got it wrong

00:56:55yet again.

00:56:56They'd had their problems

00:56:57earlier on

00:56:58and clearly gone back out

00:56:59just hoping that everything

00:57:00was all right.

00:57:00I think it's rear suspension.

00:57:02It's possible.

00:57:03I mean he's just had

00:57:03another spin

00:57:04possibly caused from

00:57:05that accident earlier.

00:57:06He did get hit behind

00:57:07it looked like

00:57:08so that can cause problems

00:57:09that you then have to deal with

00:57:10onward through the race.

00:57:12It's hard to say

00:57:13without us seeing

00:57:13what's happened.

00:57:14You never know

00:57:14but it's definitely possible

00:57:15there's something going on

00:57:16in there.

00:57:17I was surprised Jeremy

00:57:18that they sent it out

00:57:19so early.

00:57:19It looked like a very

00:57:20rudimentary checker.

00:57:21They were kind of

00:57:22testing it on track

00:57:23which you can do

00:57:24but it's not a wise thing.

00:57:25No, they'd have given

00:57:26a good look over

00:57:27and it could

00:57:28be just something

00:57:30as simple as

00:57:30cold tyres.

00:57:32I'm sure they would have

00:57:32changed tyres

00:57:33when he came into the pits

00:57:34but there's another car

00:57:35limping around.

00:57:36It's the tent car

00:57:37making its way back.

00:57:39Yeah, it stopped

00:57:40to ride a dangerous position

00:57:41in the middle of a chicane.

00:57:42They wouldn't let it go

00:57:43initially.

00:57:44They dragged it to a safer zone

00:57:45and they just let it go.

00:57:47Damage front and rear

00:57:48though on that car.

00:57:49Oh, bits of bloody wood

00:57:50just flying off as well.

00:57:51That's dangerous

00:57:52and they've got a huge tyre up.

00:57:54And he's getting

00:57:55into a safe zone here.

00:57:56I don't think he's...

00:57:57If he tries to go any further

00:57:59they'd have a few words here.

00:58:01And what's happened

00:58:02to the front end?

00:58:02Is he...

00:58:03Oh, there's a lot of damage there.

00:58:05I mean, that bodywork

00:58:06is about to completely fall off.

00:58:07Yeah, exactly.

00:58:08Along with the front nose as well.

00:58:10Yeah, if you're limping along

00:58:12you're limping along

00:58:13in these cars

00:58:14it feels like you're hardly moving

00:58:16even if it's only 50 or 60 miles an hour

00:58:18that's enough to throw the bodywork

00:58:19all over the place.

00:58:20Look at that.

00:58:21The lizards.

00:58:21Good grief.

00:58:22Oh, what a shame.

00:58:24The 80 car has come

00:58:25an awful long way

00:58:26to join this party

00:58:27and it looks like

00:58:28it might be

00:58:28well, interrupted

00:58:29at the very best.

00:58:31You never know.

00:58:32It looks like that is

00:58:33Seth Neiman on board

00:58:34unfortunately

00:58:34and Seth

00:58:36who's been a regular driver

00:58:37in this car

00:58:37but, you know

00:58:38perhaps a bit less experienced

00:58:40than the other two

00:58:40that are in it.

00:58:41But a real shame for him

00:58:42you know

00:58:42he loves Le Mans

00:58:44and, you know

00:58:45he usually does a very good job

00:58:46so interesting to see

00:58:47what's happened there.

00:58:48Well, it is reputable

00:58:49but it's just how much time

00:58:50you've got.

00:58:51This 99 car

00:58:52had its troubles

00:58:52the back end

00:58:54was completely mashed

00:58:55in qualifying

00:58:56and they had an Arjun

00:58:59testing as well.

00:59:0466 and 80

00:59:06those are the ones

00:59:06we've seen

00:59:07and there is the collision

00:59:08between them

00:59:09and we're just getting

00:59:10the better of each other

00:59:11unfortunately

00:59:12and the barriers

00:59:13doing a great scraping job

00:59:15on that

00:59:16rather attractive

00:59:19before a few moments ago

00:59:20lizard machine.

00:59:21that's the two Americans

00:59:22in that case

00:59:23Patrick Long

00:59:24was on board

00:59:25I think

00:59:25the 76 car

00:59:28wasn't he?

00:59:28It was the performance car

00:59:30I think

00:59:30and he'd been doing

00:59:31a fantastic job

00:59:32of course

00:59:32he'd started

00:59:33at the back of the field

00:59:34was working his way forward

00:59:35and looks like

00:59:36he'd got alongside

00:59:37on the inside

00:59:38what it looked like

00:59:40on the end of that picture

00:59:41there

00:59:41we didn't of course

00:59:42see the whole incident

00:59:43take place

00:59:43but a big disaster

00:59:45for both of those two teams

00:59:46Patrick Long

00:59:47would have been

00:59:47a much quicker driver

00:59:48so it's very possible

00:59:49what he was doing

00:59:50was just trying to go

00:59:51around Seth

00:59:52and perhaps there was

00:59:53just a bit of misjudgment

00:59:53or misunderstanding

00:59:54between the two

00:59:55and unfortunately

00:59:56these sort of things

00:59:57happen sometimes

00:59:57when you have a pro

00:59:58mixing it up

00:59:59with the others

00:59:59it's a tough one

01:00:01on these circuits

01:00:02it's also what

01:00:02it's all about

01:00:03it's all about

01:00:04sports car racing

01:00:05that's right

01:00:05the IMSA performance

01:00:06guys

01:00:07they won this class

01:00:07of course

01:00:08one year ago

01:00:09and they had

01:00:09such high expectations

01:00:10coming into this weekend

01:00:11Porsche has worked

01:00:12so hard

01:00:13on that 997 RSR

01:00:15over the winter

01:00:16they've really improved

01:00:17the competitiveness

01:00:18compared to

01:00:19the dominant Ferraris

01:00:20well everywhere else

01:00:21except for here

01:00:22last year

01:00:22when of course

01:00:23the Porsche

01:00:23did come through

01:00:24but it certainly

01:00:24the Ferrari

01:00:26was the car

01:00:26to have everybody

01:00:27thought going into

01:00:28this year

01:00:28and they qualified

01:00:30on the pole

01:00:30Patrick Long

01:00:31did

01:00:31he had to start

01:00:32from the back

01:00:33as a

01:00:34as we said

01:00:35earlier on

01:00:35in the show

01:00:36but he was

01:00:36making his way

01:00:37forward

01:00:37and that is

01:00:38just

01:00:39it's kind

01:00:40of a factory

01:00:40backed team

01:00:41Patrick Long

01:00:42is a factory

01:00:43backed driver

01:00:44certainly from

01:00:44Porsche

01:00:45and they had

01:00:46very very high

01:00:46expectations

01:00:47and it's an

01:00:48absolute disaster

01:00:49so the 76 car

01:00:51in the gravel

01:00:52and a real shame

01:00:53the two major

01:00:54contestants here

01:00:55or two of them

01:00:56and it's so well

01:00:57in qualifying as well

01:00:58but the Matmut 76

01:00:59machine

01:01:00looking a bit

01:01:00second hand

01:01:01so is that

01:01:02Flying Lizard

01:01:02motorsport machine

01:01:03just getting

01:01:08information through

01:01:10as well

01:01:10that the number

01:01:11nine car

01:01:12has been called

01:01:12back in

01:01:12it's got light

01:01:13trouble

01:01:13don't forget

01:01:14that was the

01:01:14one that had

01:01:15front end damage

01:01:16after going

01:01:16into the wall

01:01:17during qualifying

01:01:18maybe they just

01:01:18didn't wire it up

01:01:19properly

01:01:20who knows

01:01:20but they've been

01:01:21warned to switch

01:01:21them on

01:01:22clearly they would

01:01:23have tried

01:01:23failed to do so

01:01:24and back in

01:01:25they come

01:01:26well this is not

01:01:27the first time

01:01:27that Peugeot

01:01:28has had problems

01:01:28with their lighting

01:01:29systems in races

01:01:30before

01:01:30it seems to be

01:01:32the way they've

01:01:32designed the cars

01:01:33if there's any

01:01:34damage at all

01:01:34to the front

01:01:35of the car

01:01:35sometimes the

01:01:36lights can then

01:01:37suffer

01:01:37and you know

01:01:38this has happened

01:01:38in at least

01:01:39two other races

01:01:40that I've seen

01:01:40them in

01:01:41so it's certainly

01:01:42not the first

01:01:42time they've

01:01:42had this issue

01:01:43but yeah

01:01:43definitely could

01:01:44have something

01:01:44to do with

01:01:44the damage

01:01:45they had before

01:01:45one of the

01:01:47Lucalf 1

01:01:47cars as well

01:01:48was brought

01:01:49in for a

01:01:50stop-go

01:01:50penalty

01:01:50we think

01:01:51it was for

01:01:52harrying

01:01:52a member

01:01:53of the

01:01:54GT2

01:01:54class

01:01:55must have

01:01:56been contact

01:01:57and just

01:01:58a manoeuvre

01:01:59that hampered

01:01:59a lower class

01:02:00vehicle

01:02:00if you are

01:02:01approaching

01:02:02somebody from

01:02:02a lower class

01:02:03you better

01:02:03make sure

01:02:04that you get

01:02:04by cleanly

01:02:05because if

01:02:06you are deemed

01:02:07to harry them

01:02:08and get into

01:02:09contact with them

01:02:10you will be

01:02:10punished

01:02:11that's exactly

01:02:11what has just

01:02:12happened to one

01:02:12of the Lucalf 1

01:02:13machines

01:02:13they're having

01:02:14a bit of a

01:02:14nightmare

01:02:15they accidentally

01:02:16called both

01:02:17cars in

01:02:17I don't know

01:02:18whether it was

01:02:18a radio thumb

01:02:19problem Jeremy

01:02:20but they called

01:02:20them in together

01:02:21and they got

01:02:22into a terrible

01:02:23mess

01:02:23if it had been

01:02:24in America

01:02:25they would have

01:02:26been called

01:02:27for it

01:02:27because wheels

01:02:28were being lost

01:02:28they were bouncing

01:02:29all around the pit

01:02:30lane

01:02:30and just that

01:02:32kind of error

01:02:32you do not want

01:02:33particularly early on

01:02:34no you don't

01:02:35you need to

01:02:35you've got to

01:02:36plan everything

01:02:36out in this

01:02:37sort of race

01:02:38it is so

01:02:38competitive now

01:02:39you can't afford

01:02:39any mistakes

01:02:40if you want

01:02:41to win the race

01:02:42so particularly

01:02:43on pit lane

01:02:44that is a bit

01:02:44embarrassing

01:02:45just one of the

01:02:47outies

01:02:47the number one

01:02:48outie in fact

01:02:48coming in

01:02:49for what is

01:02:50a regular scheduled

01:02:51stop

01:02:52as we look

01:02:52out again

01:02:54at these

01:02:54gorgeous looking

01:02:55Porsche RS

01:02:57spiders

01:02:57and a damaged

01:02:59vehicle as well

01:03:00still trying to

01:03:01make its way

01:03:01back here

01:03:02and that was

01:03:02Lola Aston

01:03:03still limping

01:03:03around

01:03:04so he's got

01:03:04it going

01:03:04again

01:03:05and he's

01:03:06just got

01:03:06to be

01:03:06patient

01:03:07now

01:03:07he's got

01:03:08no chance

01:03:09of winning

01:03:09the petrol

01:03:11lane

01:03:12that are in

01:03:12class

01:03:12now

01:03:12I don't

01:03:13think

01:03:13it's cost him

01:03:14already

01:03:15three or four

01:03:15laps

01:03:15he's just

01:03:16got to be

01:03:16patient

01:03:17now

01:03:17they want

01:03:17to get

01:03:17that car

01:03:17back to

01:03:18the pits

01:03:18with it

01:03:20causing as

01:03:20little extra

01:03:21damage as

01:03:22possible

01:03:22hopefully

01:03:23repair it

01:03:24and then he

01:03:24can run

01:03:25on from

01:03:25here

01:03:25and it's

01:03:26really going

01:03:26to become

01:03:27a long test

01:03:27exercise

01:03:28from now

01:03:28but still

01:03:28it's a new

01:03:29exercise this

01:03:30year

01:03:30without

01:03:31Lola Aston

01:03:31Martin

01:03:31somebody else

01:03:32in trouble

01:03:33as well

01:03:33it's a shame

01:03:38for the

01:03:38quiffle

01:03:38ASM

01:03:45had to

01:03:46put his

01:03:46rookie

01:03:47laps in

01:03:47because of

01:03:48the hiatus

01:03:57had

01:03:57quite a

01:03:57few

01:03:58problems

01:03:58with

01:03:58this

01:03:58practice

01:03:59I was

01:03:59speaking

01:03:59with

01:03:59Guy

01:04:00earlier

01:04:00I

01:04:00know

01:04:00they

01:04:00had

01:04:01some

01:04:01gear

01:04:01selection

01:04:01issues

01:04:02that

01:04:03was

01:04:03purely

01:04:03just

01:04:04misunderstanding

01:04:05there

01:04:05a little
