00:00:00Continued. That's the second of the Delta ADR cars, which had some problems earlier on in the race and is quite a long way down the order.
00:00:22I love that. That's great news, isn't it? Faster. Sector 1, Sector 2, easy.
00:00:27What a nice thing to be able to hear when you're out on the road.
00:00:30Yeah, I don't know whether Tom Christensen had a problem on the last up in car number two.
00:00:34Three minutes, 38, against Stefan Sarazin's three minutes, 30.9 in the number eight Toyota.
00:00:40Well, what we might be looking at, don't forget, we've had a bit of rain on the circuit.
00:00:44Earlier on, when the conditions were very, very slippery and a little bit mixed, Toyota was starting to lead this race.
00:00:51And now we've got funny weather again. We've got some wet patches around the circuit.
00:00:54Again, Toyota's a little bit faster. What does that say to you?
00:00:58I think that means perhaps that car handles a little bit better in these mixed conditions.
00:01:01You're absolutely right. And the funny thing is, I spoke to Rob Lupin, who is the team director at Toyota,
00:01:09just before the start of the race, just after the start of the race.
00:01:14And he said he wanted the conditions to be dry. He felt they were more competitive in the dry, not the wet.
00:01:20I said, that's not what we've seen through practice and qualifying.
00:01:23It would appear that the Toyotas were more competitive in the trickier conditions.
00:01:28He said no.
00:01:29But what's funny is, I think most teams would say wet or dry.
00:01:33It's very rare you have a team even consider mixed.
00:01:36Yes.
00:01:36And I think suddenly, when the race started, I reckon Toyota sat back and thought,
00:01:41huh, well, we've got a little bit of an advantage here.
00:01:44And perhaps that's the case.
00:01:45It's not often you would see Tom Christensen that much lower than Stefan Saracen.
00:01:48Well, it's been lovely working with you, Liz.
00:01:52I've got about 25 minutes left of our pairing.
00:01:55It's mixed match tonight.
00:01:57But just to let you know, while we've got a moment,
00:02:00Neville Hay and Chris Parsons will be coming in through the evening.
00:02:04Neville is known as Mr. Licorice.
00:02:07He has one of those voices that just bewitches.
00:02:10He's joined by Chris Parsons, who is knowledgeable about all things historic,
00:02:13of course, as well, from Le Mans.
00:02:16He's going to be myself, as well, with Damien Faulkner joining me throughout.
00:02:21And Martin will be back, I think, around about 4 a.m.,
00:02:24although he's coming on in just about 25 minutes' time,
00:02:27when I'll be taking a break and trying to get a little bit of a bite to it.
00:02:30I might even just go and see some rock music.
00:02:33Boogie.
00:02:34That kind of thing.
00:02:35Do video it on your phone for us, won't you?
00:02:36All right.
00:02:37I'm not promising.
00:02:38There, the 39 car in for service,
00:02:42looking a little bit static just for the time being.
00:02:44And away.
00:02:46Nicely done.
00:02:47It's been static several times during this race, actually,
00:02:49as in revolving out on the racetrack.
00:02:52But at least it's been running steadily lately
00:02:54and keeping on the straight and narrow.
00:02:57Lovely to see the STP badge back again.
00:03:01Yes, writ large on the Murphy machine and back out.
00:03:04There you go.
00:03:04Only had the car for a year.
00:03:05But, yes, some big ambitions as well as he goes.
00:03:11Yes, they've had some little bit of problems as well earlier on in this race,
00:03:15a little bit farther down the order.
00:03:16In P2, it's the two oak racing Morgan Nissans
00:03:20that are now running first and second again.
00:03:2235 car Bertrand Baguette ahead of the number 24 car,
00:03:25driven by the pole, said Olivier Pla.
00:03:27Ah, about two minutes between those two cars.
00:03:30Simon Dollar currently...
00:03:313 minutes 30.
00:03:34That was the radio call there to Tom Christensen
00:03:38to say that Stefan Sarrazin is lapping in the 2 minutes 30 range.
00:03:42So, again, interesting radio communications going on there.
00:03:46Back to the P2.
00:03:47Third place for Jota Sport.
00:03:49Fourth place for Pierre Kaffer now
00:03:51in the Peacom Racing Orica Nissan.
00:03:54Fifth place for Ludovic Bade in the number 46 Tyriere by TDS.
00:04:00Next up is Jan Mardenborough in the Greaves Racing Zytec Nissan.
00:04:05And then John Martin in the Delta ADR machine,
00:04:09kind of a 26th, the G-Drive car,
00:04:12which clearly must have had some sort of a lengthy pit stop last time around.
00:04:16He was actually in the pits for almost six minutes last time around.
00:04:18I don't know why that was, but it has dropped that car now down to 6th place in P2.
00:04:25Well, I did see them making some adjustments
00:04:26into sort of the front suspension of that car.
00:04:29I don't know why it would have taken so long,
00:04:31but I did see that in pit lane.
00:04:33Also, just going down to the GTE AM category,
00:04:36which we haven't talked about for a while,
00:04:37Paolo Roberti in the number 88 car,
00:04:40currently running in 2nd place in GTE AM,
00:04:43is just belting out some lap times.
00:04:46He's just put in the fastest sector time in Sector 1,
00:04:49despite some of the rainy conditions around the circuit.
00:04:52So I think he's on the chase, and I think it might be doable.
00:04:55I think you're absolutely right.
00:04:56Well spotted this.
00:04:57And also on a charge is the car behind him on the road.
00:05:00That will be the other Porsche, the other Proton Run car,
00:05:04the Dempsey Del Piero entry of Patrick Long.
00:05:06That car had lost a lot of ground earlier in the race.
00:05:08Patrick Long, however, has been absolutely flying,
00:05:12and he's now up into 3rd place on the lead lap and running superbly.
00:05:17So we've got the Ferrari, Darrell O'Young is driving that car right now
00:05:19in the lead of GTE AM in the car number 55.
00:05:22And then a gap of about, what is it, 20 seconds or 27 seconds back to Paolo Roberti,
00:05:31and then about another 12 seconds back to Patrick Long.
00:05:34And then Roman Narak in the instant performance back in the car is in 4th place.
00:05:383.59.6 by Paolo Roberti.
00:05:41That is a stonking time right now.
00:05:44And he is definitely on a mission for that.
00:05:46We also just saw in the garage, we saw the rear deck of that Audi
00:05:49going back on the number one car.
00:05:51So let's see if they're going to try and get out again.
00:05:55Hopefully it's going to work this time.
00:05:57He did actually already just exit.
00:05:59Just a quick note.
00:06:00In fact, we're on body moving right now.
00:06:02There we are.
00:06:03As if by magic.
00:06:03It's faster.
00:06:05Going fast as well.
00:06:07Patrick Long, about who we just talked, just made a pit stop.
00:06:09It's in from 3rd place in the class in GTE AM.
00:06:12Great.
00:06:13I'm just going to try and catch up on what's been happening with the 96.
00:06:16car while we take ourselves a commercial break.
00:06:18Jamie Campbell-Walter is back on board.
00:06:20Stuart Hall presumably waiting in the wings.
00:06:23That's a lad that he is.
00:06:24We'll take that commercial break.
00:06:25Don't forget we're on Twitter.
00:06:27You can find us.
00:06:28Liz Halliday, Jamie Shaw Racer, or Carlton Kirby.
00:06:31You'll have to look for the spellings because it's a bad one time.
00:06:34We'll take that break.
00:06:35We'll be back in just a few moments' time.
00:06:46We'll be back in just a few moments' time.
00:07:16We'll be back in just a few moments' time.
00:12:38So,
00:13:08we'll be right back.
00:13:42manufacturer but right now you know it's a good little it's a good team there's no question about
00:13:46it they they almost had two cars here they were planning on running a second car they did run two
00:13:51cars at the test day a couple of weeks ago but it was first reserve on the interest no one else
00:13:57pulled out so that car wasn't able to to take the field here so just one car entry this year
00:14:03almost for sure next year two cars for alpine i've got a question here on twitter from lee
00:14:08turner saying uh loving the commentary guys do teams have a specific order for their drivers
00:14:14how do they decide it well yes the answer is they do have a specific order for the drivers
00:14:18it's all straws yeah flip a coin boys um no it would have been decided before the race starts
00:14:24they do have to declare their starting driver normally it's decided based upon it well in some
00:14:30of the teams with some amateur drivers they decide upon who either is is the best most experienced
00:14:37driver to start or in certain cases you know who it would mean a lot to to start the race maybe a
00:14:42team owner or somebody like that in audi's case i think it's going to be just who they feel is the
00:14:48best person for the job certainly in the very professional teams like very often we see alan
00:14:53mcnish start the race i think he's started nearly every time uh stefan saracen starts the race a lot
00:14:58it's just sort of i can't remember exactly now you mentioned it yeah and then they'll throughout the
00:15:03night they'll be doing very long stints but certainly in the professional teams they're all
00:15:07experienced enough you maintain the same gap we've got two more laps two more laps there we are i'm
00:15:15not sure information there was that the right on board was that for two yes yes he was saying to
00:15:20maintain the same gap which is basically saying keep the same time starting drivers are in the pro-am
00:15:25classes it's generally the pro drivers that'll start that by by um by order effectively they want
00:15:33they want the more experienced driver uh at the wheel at the start of the race now we've uh we've got
00:15:40an interview together i think you just get out of the car after a triple stint how does it feel let's say
00:15:52let's say it's okay today today it's not important the result whatever we finish
00:16:00it's a sad day i am very very sad for uh what happened to alan simolsen it's a shame uh even to
00:16:12continue it's not easy thank you um well i have to i have to agree with uh they see that it's very very
00:16:21difficult uh for all of us here really and a very sad to lose a fellow driver and very difficult to continue
00:16:29your job knowing that somebody you cared a lot about and respected has um lost their life
00:16:34doing the same thing um we've all been there and it's very difficult uh doing something he loves uh
00:16:39incidentally the family were consulted uh before the team decided to race on and uh they're going to
00:16:43win it for him no i think that's that's what he would want i think and and that that's very strong for
00:16:48them to do that and i think we'll see all of aston martin pulling themselves together and saying today
00:16:53we're going to race the best we've ever raced absolutely yeah i know it's it's it's certainly
00:16:58very tough for the for the other drivers on that team and various other teams as well
00:17:02i know richard westbrook was pretty good buddies also with uh alan somerson so i know he's having a
00:17:07hard time out there motivating himself to get going and see it's tougher for some than others no
00:17:12question about it but you know uh that's the way racing's always been i'm afraid to say uh corey james here
00:17:18said any chance of a shout out i'm up all night through tomorrow instead of revising no don't
00:17:22do some revising that makes your your exams are massively important so watch as much as you possibly
00:17:29can yes corey but then get back and go do some work please exactly and then if you work like a really
00:17:33hard boy you never know you might end up doing something come back and watch us again exactly
00:17:38somebody else here was asking phil beckett was asking what the problems of number 12 rebellion lola was
00:17:43having uh they've just had a couple of niggles i think they're still uh there are a lap or so
00:17:48behind the sister car kind of a 13 driven now by matthias pesch nicola pross driving number 12 car
00:17:54now they had a a stop earlier on where they had a they ran over some debris or had an uh an off of
00:17:59some sort they had to change the front uh the front body work on that car uh so that cost me a little
00:18:05bit of time there might have been another slight delay as well possibly a puncture that i must admit
00:18:09is conjecture but the car's still running well in seventh place overall and those rebellion cars have
00:18:15done a really good job so far they seem to be fairly reliable touching wood again no curse of the
00:18:20commentator certainly a very good strong team a lot of guys that i've known for many years we're going
00:18:26to go to go to a quick commercial break please stay with us live here at the le mans 24 hours
00:18:39so
00:18:44so
00:18:48so
00:18:52so

00:21:42Oh, God.
00:21:44Oh, God.
00:21:46I've got to sell you yeah penultimate from the end not a good day for tour Graves
00:21:51Car this morning
00:21:53At the put through the Porsche co-sans the Porsche curves as well, isn't this it does
00:21:59Yeah, the number two car was in the pit when the caution came out
00:22:05Luckily, it was able to get out on the onto the track
00:22:10Before the pits were closed there. So that was a bit bit of good fortune there
00:22:14Very good fortune. However, it has it has allowed Stefan Sarazin in kind of break back onto the same lap as the leader
00:22:21But he's stuck behind a couple of pace cars. So
00:22:23With these three pace car system we have here. He's still, you know, three-quarters of a lap down
00:22:29But at least he's I'm back on the lead lap
00:22:30So certainly good news for very very very good news indeed for Toyota racing and kind of rate Stefan Sarazin
00:22:37I'm not sure where Kazuki Nakajima. Actually. He might be on the lead lap as well
00:22:42Just have to wait until the pace car picks them up. May well be we'll see how that happens three pay three pace cars three safety cars out there
00:22:51Not an ideal system, especially when often it would be nice to compress the field and go racing proper again
00:22:58But that's just as
00:23:00Whistling in the wind I think others they're not listening the winds blowing the other way
00:23:05As simple as that and this is certainly handed a massive advantage to Bertrand baguette for oak racing car number 35
00:23:11He is now at least one safety car ahead of the next three cars in P2
00:23:17That would be Simon Dole in car number 38 olivier plant in car number 24 and
00:23:23Ian Mardenborough in car number 42. They are all
00:23:25Three and a half minutes behind which is kind of one safety car period behind the leader in P2 and then
00:23:35Ludovic Badde and John Martin the cars 46 and 26
00:23:38They are farther behind as well car number three planning to come in you can just see the Audi pit getting ready for him there
00:23:45I'm guessing he's going to pit on this lap. It looks like they're ready and waiting for him here in the pits of the g-drive cars
00:23:52It looks like they're getting ready to pit one of their cars soon as well. You can see everybody putting on their helmets and
00:23:57There are the cleaners. It looks like mostly gravel is debris, but maybe just so much of it
00:24:03But I can't imagine they would safety car it just for grapple
00:24:06You know what even on CCTV cameras you can see there is an awful lot of gravel there
00:24:10There's always a lot of gravel at night, but maybe they just felt it was so much that it wasn't safe a lot of spit
00:24:15It looks like the entry to the Porsche cars, but I can't imagine that it would be that doesn't seem right to
00:24:22Too often the same place in the same day
00:24:24Surely not
00:24:26Thanks for all your messages on Twitter by the way. It's it's nice to know you're enjoying yourselves a Barry Skinner Paul
00:24:32Maddie King
00:24:34Zach Wilson and the rest of you you know, just picking some random names to be honest
00:24:39Do they pay these drivers like they pay formula one driver says Paul absolutely not well
00:24:45No, but having said that
00:24:47You know that certainly the factory drivers Audi and Toyota are making very good livings. Thank you very much indeed
00:24:53And there's not that many drivers in Formula one these days that are making the really big bucks
00:24:57I mean that is true, you know the Fernando Alonso's Jenson buttons
00:25:01Lewis Hamilton's and
00:25:03You know a handful of others are certainly making extremely
00:25:06Healthy pay packets in Formula one, but there's really only I would say maybe and Rick can be Riken and for sure
00:25:12Half a dozen or so that are getting really really good pay packets everybody else
00:25:17Is getting getting well paid either by their sponsors or by the teams whatever it is
00:25:21And I don't go for this pay driver stuff. It's it's still everybody who's in Formula one pretty much deserves to be there
00:25:26So there's some of them being paid more than others for sure and as you're certainly the
00:25:31Five factory drivers here are are well recompensed for their work
00:25:36And there's a bunch of other drivers that are professionals in this field as well, you know
00:25:39Don't forget that yeah, but not as much as they perhaps were a few years ago. Sorry car
00:25:43Well a second addendum to that are they or indeed are they all paid paid drivers?
00:25:50No, but they do pepper the field and gentlemen drivers sir incidentally mostly appearing further down the order in the gt-class the gt-am almost built for them
00:26:00But you also get gentlemen involved in the p2 class as well
00:26:05Generally p1 it's decent pay packets and extraordinarily decent drivers to say the very least and we're looking at one right now
00:26:12The three car is on the spin and in
00:26:17I don't know what's happening here
00:26:19That's not a good sign to have I just wonder whether that's preventative like an insurance stop
00:26:24Well, you know if the cars on pit lanes only two people allowed to work on the car
00:26:28If they pull it back into the garage, you can have 102 people on the car and it there's no point now in going straight back out there because
00:26:35If they just made a regular stop, they'd have to come to a halt at the end of pit lane until the next
00:26:41Safety car comes around and that's about three minutes worth
00:26:44So if you've only got if you've got less than three minutes worth of work to do on the car
00:26:48By all means pull it back into the garage get him out and get him on again, you know
00:26:52It looks like a strip down. They've got the back cowl is off the front is coming off as well
00:26:57There's a lot to do clear. Yeah
00:26:59Look at the grass behind the wheel. He still keep his yeah
00:27:02Yeah, he's definitely belting in looking ready to go. So let's hope this isn't going to be very long
00:27:06I've got a question here on Twitter from Tracy Hall
00:27:09Saying great coverage today and all that's happened. Just wondering how many female drivers this year
00:27:15I can tell you Tracy. There are two female drivers this year Natasha Gatchnang in the number 43
00:27:21Morgan Judd car and Kiko Ihara in the number 28 Lola Nissan now both of those drivers have done the race before
00:27:29Kiko Ihara did not make it very far at all last year. They really didn't have a very good car
00:27:34And Natasha last did it in 2010 those of you that might remember the
00:27:41What was it the Ford GT wasn't it that had the big fire with her on board out on circuit?
00:27:48So those are our two female drivers to like there to be more yes indeed and Natasha she's a cousin of Sebastian Bwemi
00:27:55I did not know that didn't you? There you are. You're getting the whole thing
00:28:01Dave Stowe
00:28:02He's he says he's I'm sitting up through the night with my eight-year-old son Aaron Aaron
00:28:08I feel really really sorry for you little fella
00:28:11But hey if you're enjoying yourself, and it's a special day and of course you've got the weekend to recover. I guess it's allowed
00:28:16But special one only
00:28:18Provided you keep it here on your spot. You did get a mention of course
00:28:21Mandy B also asked could you explain if any significant performance difference between four-wheel drive front and rear wheel drives or any disadvantage as well?
00:28:31Four-wheel drive certainly has the advantage of traction on all four wheels
00:28:35So that is definitely an advantage in the in wet conditions or in clement conditions
00:28:40There's also however a weight penalty generally speaking, which might not be
00:28:45As advantageous in the dry of course, that's not always the case
00:28:49Front and rear wheel drive. Yeah, they drive very very differently
00:28:53In front wheel drive
00:28:56If if you if you're about to spin you stomp on the throttle
00:28:59Basically, if you're about to spin in a rear wheel drive car, you generally lift off the gas
00:29:03Those are two that's the kind of the easiest way to explain it
00:29:06But yeah, there are there are big handling differences for the drivers
00:29:09But advantage is yeah, but virtually all race cars
00:29:14In the top levels are rear wheel drive, but there's plenty of very competitive series that run front engine cars as well front wheel drive cars as well
00:29:24a car coming in
00:29:25And in fact pitting off second place here, so tom christensen's still out there and uh on their marks
00:29:33I don't think this is going in the garage
00:29:36No, this looks routine to me just trying to get it done under pace car, which completely makes sense
00:29:41It does but it is going to drop it I think back off off the lead lap again
00:29:45It might it might be if I didn't I think it's probably just one pace car behind
00:29:49So it might just be drop another pace car farther back
00:29:52Just put it about three-quarters of a lap down instead of a little bit less than half a lap down
00:29:57But it was due a pit stop relatively soon in any case, so you have to get it right liz yeah, it's definitely
00:30:04A scheduled pit stop for car number eight this looks pretty routine to me definitely and no doubt following on for that
00:30:09We've got uh desmond evans asking uh, how long a stint is because jean carlo fisi keller said he's just done a triple stint
00:30:16Well a stint is basically one fuel stop. It's how long the fuel will run for so that's what we call a stint basically
00:30:23Um, it can be anywhere from about 45 minutes up to about 55 minutes usually
00:30:28But that would be rare these days back a few years ago
00:30:31They would be a little bit longer
00:30:32But normally it's around 45 to 50 minutes depending on the car and how long they can go on fuel
00:30:38So I hope that answers the question. Yeah, great answer and the
00:30:42The audis that they're doing 10 sometimes 11 laps per stint the toyotas are running 12 laps per stint that
00:30:49uh as a result of the various the the fuel uh consumption levels of their respective cars
00:30:56different sized fuel tanks as well just to complicate matters. We'll take a break and it'll be martin haven back in the seat

00:32:21uh
00:32:35Welcome back to the 24 hours of Le Mans where after with 15 just under 16 hours to go so after
00:32:41uh
00:32:42uh
00:32:43some
00:32:43uh
00:32:44still
00:32:45how the
00:32:45just
00:32:46clinging on to a tenuous lead
00:32:49and I was thinking while I was having my dinner
00:32:51and then there was one does that remind you of anything a couple of years ago
00:32:55Audi had disasters just one car was left early in the evening with two Peugeots two blighting
00:33:02blue and white cars chasing it
00:33:04and the one car remained in front all the way to the flag
00:33:08now this time it's not the sole it's not the number one car that is the sole Audi
00:33:13which is remaining healthy it is the number two car but Jeremy Shaw
00:33:17car number one and possibly it seems car number three now have suffered the same
00:33:23crank shaft issue number three there just a little bit of whoopsie as the car was coming
00:33:27out of the pit lane he ran up beside him and has just waved him back in front because of course
00:33:31we are in the yellow flags although the safety car is due to come in this lap
00:33:35yeah it does you can see how much gravel there was uh on the road up there at the dunlop curves
00:33:40as well i think perhaps that would have cost the number three car a lap again to the toyotas
00:33:48that it was chasing so um yeah that was uh clearly an unscrupulous i don't think it could have been
00:33:53the same problem that the number one car had no because if you've got a design problem with one
00:33:59car it hardly ever appears on any of the others do what no i mean clearly it's not the same because
00:34:06a crankshaft well you know it was a major problem the number one car had and that cost them half
00:34:12an hour in the pits this car was only in there for what it was in there for seven minutes or so and
00:34:16they were somewhat fortunate i think to do that make that stop under caution and lose effectively
00:34:21only one and a half laps well i wonder whether it was a little knock-on effect of their earlier
00:34:27puncture which uh of course cost them more time and the chance to lead the race lights out on the safety
00:34:33cars now boys and girls we are about to go green once more in the staggered sort of randomly going
00:34:40green in different bits all over the track that they have here at the moment with the corvettes
00:34:44right in front of us is a safety car as you can see the lights are off yeah and away we go this is
00:34:50out of our knowledge the safety car has pulled off and oh jeremy's scribbling furiously so third safety
00:34:57car fourth safety car indeed see starting to lose track already yeah that's why i make my notes indeed
00:35:02indeed indeed indeed 1104 we go back to green so that was sort of 15 minutes of i did as well but
00:35:09if they're going to throw safety cars while i'm at dinner i'm sorry brilliant yeah unfortunately kazuki
00:35:15nakajima did fall off the lead lap during that safety car period uh and he is now on one lap down
00:35:22therefore 120 laps completed by car number two tom christensen at the wheel of that uh audi r18e
00:35:29tron quattro luke nakajima and stefan sarah's in the number seven and eight cars both now one lap
00:35:36down and separated by about 15 seconds so probably a whole train of cars i think they would have been
00:35:41behind the same safety car uh yellow flag at marshall's post 55 which is uh that is just on the
00:35:57approach to the second chicane yeah yeah we have them posted up in front of us because it's hard to
00:36:03remember see the cars the fast prototypes weaving through traffic furiously in a sort of way that's
00:36:08a little bit reminiscent of daytona number three car
00:36:16second of the delayed audi's gte class ferrari in front and see how the audi got did he get boxed in
00:36:24there or did he let that other prototype going what's that is that the striker i think it was
00:36:32yellow flag on the approach to the chicane we're on the opposite side of the track rushing down on
00:36:37the public highway towards maison blanche but nowadays whoosh sweeping right into the porsche
00:36:44curves and look at the way now that the audi is going to carve through these guys in fact that's not
00:36:48as indian albis i misread my track there completely it's still on public highway as most of this lap
00:36:54remains of course in the very first iteration of this it was uh it wrote it drove right to the
00:37:01fringe of town right up to the river at ponyeur the hairpin there and came back out of the city
00:37:08and in fact in that case it was it was really right on the fringe of the city now it is actually
00:37:12deep in the city ponyeur hairpin now sweeping into these fabulously grippy and challenging porsche
00:37:24curves funfair will come into sight we we were looking there at the third place car in whoa there
00:37:31goes number 57 car that makes a change yeah he's driving a crone racing ferrari tracy crones at the
00:37:36wheel gosh that's uh not again jeremy i mean well he's had a few offs unfortunately this weekend a
00:37:41huge one on thursday so it's great to see him back at the wheel of the car he hasn't had a couple of
00:37:45spins today as well so it's not been a great week for tracy crone but uh you know they are soldiering on
00:37:50and doing the best they can in gtm incidentally in gtm we've got uh new leaders there from a little
00:37:56while ago darlo young was leading in the car number 55 he's lost that lead now it's porsche's one two three
00:38:02in gtm and paulo roberti lead to number 88 car the sister proton car also entered under uh deputy
00:38:11pierre racing patrick long at the wheel just saw a report that the number 41 greaves motorsport car
00:38:20was stopped out on track tom kimber smith alexander rocky at rossi and eric eric lux's car that's the
00:38:25gas going catering car just tumbling down the order as you speak martin and uh yeah they have
00:38:30problems earlier with that some electrical problems and uh mike gascoigne was in here talking
00:38:35about the hope they'd gotten behind them but obviously not bumped into a friend of darlo
00:38:39lucky young's last night at dinner in fact almost every car in uh the classes other than lmp1 is now
00:38:45shown as being stopped to the side of the track so yet another technical glitch i'm afraid on our timing
00:38:49screens darlo young uh vancouver born san francisco educated hong kong chinese world touring car driver and
00:38:57occasional uh multiple winner of the uh 12 hours uh first chicane who went smoking on straight through
00:39:03it there do they appear beside us they do not 12 hours of bathurst and uh met his betty art buddy art
00:39:12last night very interested in srt's and getting them back to china somehow we set the classes again
00:39:19perhaps we've got uh it's still top christians leads there for a p1 by a lap over kazuki nakajima steph in
00:39:25car number seven the sister number eight toyota stefan sarrazin about 18 seconds behind kazuki nakajima in
00:39:32second and third both one lap down to the leaders then one lap down farther lap down is luca de grassy in
00:39:37car number three matthias besh one lap farther back in count number 13 for rebellion racing nick
00:39:43laventis at the wheel of the straker racing hpd uh another lap back actually two laps farther back
00:39:50in sixth place overall and nicola prost one lap behind the straker car in p2 bertrand baguette leads by
00:39:58about uh two minutes or so over olivier plus that's the two oak racing morgan uh nissan's 35 and 24
00:40:05jan margenborough up to third place in that class and charging after olivier plas oliver turby
00:40:12number 38 car for jota sport fourth place in that class and then the number 26 car mike conway at the
00:40:19wheel of the delta adr car fifth place in p2 in gte pro uh bruno senna leads in car number 99 he and uh
00:40:30fred makovecki just doing a stellar job at the wheel of that car along with the uh rob bell of
00:40:37course the englishman that car is leading now pretty well by about nine seconds over peter dunbrechen
00:40:44number 97 aston martin and ricard lights leets in number 92 porsche is uh about 56 seconds behind as
00:40:54well so he i believe was caught behind a pace car during that last safety car period you
00:41:00mentioned nick laventus by the way in sixth place tracker racing um i during the safety car period
00:41:05i had a chance to talk to johnny kane he had a fantastic uh stint after taking the car over
00:41:10from danny watts they've moved it up from 36 to eight then of course all the p1 cars ahead of him
00:41:15started having problems and they're johnny saying we'll just let the race come to us now because
00:41:19we hope all our problems behind us let the others have theirs and who knows tomorrow morning we might be
00:41:24at the top absolutely right also in gte pro i noticed that number 91 car now timo bernhard that's
00:41:30a weird of that the second of the factory porsche the brand new porsche 991 uh shelled cars that is
00:41:36running in fourth place and he is back on the lead lap with bruno senna peter dunbrek and richard
00:41:43lights in front of them so that's uh finally we've got four cars back on the lead lap in gt that battle of
00:41:50course was ruined in the first safety car period where three cars were able to get ahead uh one
00:41:56pace car ahead of one safety car clear of everybody else but have we seen any other safety cars bringing
00:42:03battles back together no there have been lots of them unfortunately yes it does tend to be the order
00:42:09order heads to chaos and therefore more safety cars means more battles get broken up yeah it really
00:42:14really having said that the number 26 car for delta adr that did actually benefit from a safety car
00:42:19because they john martin managed to close up within about 15 seconds of the lead so it made up a
00:42:25significant amount of time and when the next caution did when a caution did come out he was able to make
00:42:30up that deficit so he but he didn't uh you know at least he's about the only guy i think so far that
00:42:37has benefited from a full course caution pit road visit for the number one audi let's hope this is
00:42:43a regulation stop if he hasn't done 10 laps jeremy shaw then we start to worry again about this number
00:42:50one machine do we he's now twitter 12 laps behind the overall race leader so uh just to point out
00:43:01incidentally that uh we are not responsible for the feed pictures here at eurosport we take them from the
00:43:06host broadcast same as everybody else who is watching it and also chris molyneux we don't scramble the safety
00:43:11cars neither we share your frustration but they're not our fault nothing we can do i'm afraid about
00:43:18safety cars well let's get down to the garage area let's find out what's happening shea corvette
00:43:26tallest man in the team is oliver the night did start it's still a long way to go what is the situation
00:43:34for you now the situation is okay you know we we're doing our race and uh it's it's it's going it's
00:43:43going okay i suppose the weather was very difficult earlier on we had a little bit of a problem just
00:43:49then because uh when the prototype car crashed in the porsche curves he dragged a lot of stones on and
00:43:54we unfortunately got a puncher so we had a left rear tire going down so the team saw that
00:43:59so we had to come in just before the safety car did to change that and we also changed driver at
00:44:04that point um and it's yeah you know we just can't seem to catch a break at the moment
00:44:11unfortunately you know for us the aston martin and the porsche are just so much faster than us and
00:44:17we are passengers really at the moment uh in terms of our race but it's still a long way to go
00:44:23we'll keep running our race and see what we can do see what we can pick up and you know plenty can
00:44:30still happen when when will you still be back on car i'm sorry when will you be back oh i think i'll
00:44:38be back in the car in about four hours okay thank you get some rest thank you oligav let's hope you
00:44:44can find a bed that's long enough here is the greeze motorsport number 41 caterum sponsored car any
00:44:49evidence of matt mike gascoigne very easy to spot he's in uh cation green changing uh cooling ducks
00:44:55and all sorts of bits and pieces on the front end of that car uh just a couple of thoughts if you
00:45:01want people mentioned on air um we can't spend all night long doing it because there is actually
00:45:06a race going on but uh damien patel mentioned your grandmother's watching with you and loving
00:45:11lemon uh if you mentioned her name we'd give her a shout and james wood mentioned your wife's name
00:45:15occasionally when asking for a shout out for her as well simon le bomb didn't ask for a shout out
00:45:20but gets one because he likes motor racing lemon and yachting and i think by all accounts that
00:45:24probably makes him a good egg even were it not for the fact that my 10 year old son loves duran duran's
00:45:30back catalogue so it's it's funny isn't it the people who sort of pop up at big events like this who
00:45:37you've got no idea are basically secret motor racing anoraks and that's always good fun to see as well
00:45:43we discovered tonight from mike gascoigne that he's around the world sailor he sailed the atlantic
00:45:47single-handedly and in november he's coming to the bahamas again now if you followed at mike
00:45:52gascoigne on twitter you'd know these things we're going to take a quick commercial break and it looks
00:45:57as though the greaves zytec is just about to hit head back out on track stay with us live on eurosport
00:46:04wherever you are we're here for you too because we care
00:46:18so
00:46:32so
00:46:44Oh, my God.
00:47:14Oh, my God.

00:50:08Oh, my God.
00:50:10Oh, my God.
00:50:12Oh, my God.
00:50:14can you explain what's going on yeah well basically we lost a little bit of
00:50:19time earlier on with a little incident with a GT so now in the night me and
00:50:25Ollie are gonna do four each to try and bring back the deficit if it's all
00:50:29possible we're gonna see how we get on on tire mileage but definitely leaving
00:50:34the drivers in to hopefully build some speed and and drag the gap back a little
00:50:38bit well you're about to sleep a bit because I think you will be back in the
00:50:42car two hours doing a forced inter relay so how do you feel yeah I feel fine yeah
00:50:47I managed to get my head down for a few minutes but I can't really sleep until
00:50:52it's properly dark and when it's probably dark I need to be in the race car so I'll
00:50:56try and get some shut eye in after after the next one question Jeremy Shaw about
00:51:03driver stints in fact this is we've had this two or three times I'm I'm glad to
00:51:08try and answer these questions for people that are new to sports car racing
00:51:11or new to Le Mans and also for those of you who have seen a lot of Le Mans if
00:51:15you have got really technical questions again we'll try our best very
00:51:20straightforward length of stints we've heard about drivers doing triple stints
00:51:23four stints five stints is there any maximum time Jeremy Shaw Mark Cole that a
00:51:28driver can spend in the car a maximum cutoff in one stint
00:51:32mark I'm just gonna have a look at four hours I think it's four hours I think so and and sometimes
00:51:41a five-hour stint will get right up to that mark I think there is by regulation now you have to have
00:51:48three drivers but is there a minimum one has to do 90 minutes or
00:51:52minutes or I'm sure there is yes yeah and it's several hours I must have been I'm not a WC regular
00:52:03these days but but I am fairly sure you can't do anything more than four hours in any one time
00:52:09behind the wheel generally we talked about this a little while ago actually that the definition of a
00:52:14stint is how long the car can go between fuel stops the leading Audi generally is is running 10
00:52:23laps between fuel stops that would be we would describe that as one stint so if you do a quadruple
00:52:28stint that's four stints in a row that's getting through four full tanks of fuel before he hands
00:52:33over to the next driver and that generally takes around about three hours now a little bit less than
00:52:38that in the top prototype cars the Toyotas they're running 12 laps on a stint of fuel right I can
00:52:46actually give you the the official line now um drivers obviously minimum three in the cars a driver
00:52:52may drive no more than four hours in any six and no more than 14 hours total in the race no more than
00:52:59four in any six that's interesting so you can't get out put your gentleman driver in and get straight
00:53:05back in again right basically so you got this I mean it would be tough to do four hours stick
00:53:11somebody in for a stint get back in and try and do another four hours that would be really hard going
00:53:16and but we are aware of a number of teams that are planning to just get the minimum time for their
00:53:22bronze driver which we believe is three hours um can't confirm that we did ask this question last
00:53:27year never got an answer from the ACO just one other thing about uh driving in time the last lap
00:53:33you must complete within six minutes else you will not be classified as a finisher uh Patrick Dempsey
00:53:40of this parish uh well-known racing driver who apparently has a television career of some kind
00:53:45as well I'm not being facetious but he was talking just the other day about how if he could afford to
00:53:51give up acting and become a full-time race car driver he would do it in a heartbeat this guy's
00:53:56not playing around he has spent Jeremy a lot of time getting up to the sort of speed that's
00:54:02required to be respectably quick at Le Mans and he's done a good job at doing it works very hard
00:54:08if you saw that picture he was uh the guy he was talking to was Greg Cates who is his uh crew chief
00:54:13a team manager in the uh in the United States American Le Mans series Greg Cates spent many many years
00:54:19yeah that's Tom Christensen he's just straight lined the first chicane that's what they're talking
00:54:34about I think he thinks has picked picked up something there so we'll see how that's going
00:54:38to develop we've just had a message flashed up that car two had gone straight on at uh Marshall's
00:54:44post 42 which is the forza chicane and that of course is the race leader also the car that set
00:54:49the fastest lap of the race in the hands it says Tom Christensen I thought that was Loic Duval it was
00:54:55Loic Duval it reflects who's currently in the car rather than who currently or who set the time
00:54:59correct and that's almost a full second quicker than Loic Duval's fastest race lap from last year
00:55:06which was uh three minutes 24.189 he did this earlier on on lap 86 three minutes 23.269 the race
00:55:15record race lap record on this configuration also set by Loic Duval that was in the r15 TDI plus back
00:55:23in 2010 uh as a three minute 19.074 but back then they had a lot more horsepower than they have now
00:55:31yeah much bigger engines of course as well we're done yep now down to 3.7 aren't we five and a half
00:55:38yep so number 47 LMP2 car gradually climbing up the order isn't it it's knocking on the doors the
00:55:46top 10 Alexander Imperatore at the wheel we had a Murphy moment a little bit earlier on there is the
00:55:53Murphy motorsport car what Patterson giving the car to anybody every time I've seen it Mark Patterson's
00:55:58been in the car isn't it right it's rather greedy of him Brett had hardly back in it now and that
00:56:04car's certainly been running some very competitive laps they've had a few little niggles as well so
00:56:09they're running outside the top 10 in the class but still running pretty strongly and another another
00:56:15question we had one earlier about lights on cars let's start at the very front yellow headlights
00:56:20GT car white headlights prototype car how bright they are jolly is the answer but in lumens or candle
00:56:28power couldn't tell you you'd have to go and ask a team member on the side of the car on every car's
00:56:34door or side panel are three lights and if they have one light illuminated their first in class two
00:56:41lights illuminated second in class three lights illuminated third in class very straightforward
00:56:46for this car particularly they will be orange because it's in the GTE amateur class if it's a
00:56:53GT car ie a road based car in the pro class it'll have green lights on the side if it's got blue lights on
00:57:00the side and it doesn't look like anything you've ever seen before then it's an LMP2 car if it's got
00:57:05red lights on the side like our race leaders then it's an LMP1 car so top three trackside you can tell
00:57:13instantly if a car that flashes by is in the top three of any class and just by knowing which those
00:57:19four colors are you can tell which it is also illuminated side panels now these are not
00:57:26phosphorescent are they they're not back illuminated panels uh they're phosphorescent panels which allow
00:57:33drivers to be identified from trackside by doofuses like us and doofuses like us when we're not sitting
00:57:39in front of a tv screen and finally marker lights blue lights flashing on the front of a GT car does
00:57:46not mean he's a member of the constabulary uh teams use different colors and patterns of lights usually
00:57:53on the front of their car for prototypes often around the airbox or the air cleaner and for the
00:57:58GT cars often in the windscreen strip so that they can identify which set of headlights coming towards
00:58:03them is theirs so for instance if you're expecting your corvette and a set of yellow headlights comes down
00:58:09it's got a blue strip vertically down its windscreen and you're in the labra team you know it's your
00:58:13number 70 car for anybody else it doesn't matter they're purely inter-team uh identification marks
00:58:20i think that's covered lights oh and they don't actually strobe at the back that's just an effect
00:58:25of the way the led lights work which is constantly flashing on and off and uh the effects of the cameras
00:58:30and in the garage now with one green light on the side of it we now know without even seeing what
00:58:36the number of the door is is our GT pro class leader
00:58:40their end of the lesson
00:58:43that would be car number 99 bruna senna just brought that car in
00:58:48and uh that was rob bell climbing aboard wasn't i wasn't really paying attention i think it was
00:58:53i presume it was rob bell climbing aboard number 99 car that uh is uh just relinquished the lead in the class
00:58:59to uh peter dunbrick in the number 97 car so yeah sister car absolutely so they're running slightly different
00:59:05strategies there can't see in now is that baby bobby bell yes i think yes it is yellow helmet and it's not
00:59:11danny wants that means it's uh rob bell
00:59:12what's another question actually a lot of people have asked why do the two toyotas have different shaped roof fence
00:59:20i know we're gonna have to study this i hadn't noticed i've got to say but uh several people have asked
00:59:29that more than several quite a number have asked car number 28 reported with no headlights
00:59:34uh he may well be aware of that problem in fairness because you would spot that that's uh
00:59:40the philip hasenbrook car
00:59:41the last running car which has just gone out of the pit road
00:59:46so imagine he might be creeping around very slowly right at the moment
00:59:49trying to feel his way back to the pits to get the headlights turned on
00:59:53too busy device
