00:00:00They had hoped once they got here.

00:00:01Yeah, Audi have been bulletproof here.

00:00:03They've had no mechanical problems at all with these cars.

00:00:05It's been an absolutely wonderful run for them.

00:00:08Just all came back to them.

00:00:09They were patient, they were solid, and they've been reliable.

00:00:12Now, just as we're looking at those pictures,

00:00:14Danny Watts has just left the pits.

00:00:17That's the LMP2 class leading HPT car.

00:00:21He's taken it over from Johnny Kane.

00:00:23He's going to do the final two stints.

00:00:24And that car, would you believe it, is now up to 7th place overall.

00:00:28Yes, it is.

00:00:29Or it will be as soon as it gets by Alexander Wurtz,

00:00:32which, well, that'll take a while, actually.

00:00:33He's 22.

00:00:35Oh, no.

00:00:35Got two hours to do it.

00:00:36Wurtz has just gone from the timing screens.

00:00:38Right.

00:00:38Wurtz has now been officially retired.

00:00:40He is an abandon.

00:00:42So, Bing, even as that sentence was forming,

00:00:44Danny Watts went from 8th to 7th.

00:00:46I was just jumping the gun, sorry.

00:00:49No, no, no.

00:00:49You were just looking into your crystal balls.

00:00:51Very well done, indeed.

00:00:52So, yeah, the Stracca team,

00:00:53and I was hearing from Marino Franchitti just a while ago,

00:00:57you know, the heartbreak at Highcroft.

00:01:00They brought the same package to the table.

00:01:02They had just as much pace in terms of car, engine, and driver.

00:01:05Not necessarily the rub of the luck.

00:01:08And, again, we talked about that at the beginning of the race

00:01:10and several times through.

00:01:11So, you need two things to win at Le Mans.

00:01:13You need luck, and you need good fuel mileage.

00:01:16Here's an interesting little thing.

00:01:17Danny Watts in 7th place overall,

00:01:19and behind him in 8th place,

00:01:21Adrian Fernandez in the low.

00:01:23Now, of course, Danny's team bought Adrian Fernandez this car.

00:01:27I wonder if this moment Adrian's thinking,

00:01:29hmm, maybe I should have stayed there.

00:01:31Well, I think, to be honest,

00:01:35I think Fernandez has a wonderful deal with Lola Aston Martin.

00:01:37That Lowe's sponsored car is, I believe,

00:01:40quite a few years' deal now that he's got going,

00:01:42and he will be enjoying every minute of driving that car.

00:01:45They've just had a bit of bad luck with the gearbox,

00:01:46but I think it would have been right behind the 009 car

00:01:49if they hadn't had the problem.

00:01:51But, certainly, Danny Watts' car has been leading

00:01:53right the way from the beginning, practically,

00:01:56and I think possibly one of the highest placings

00:01:58that LMP2 has had for a while.

00:02:00In fact, right behind him is one of the Lola Astons.

00:02:03Don't know whether it's 007 Adrian Fernandez

00:02:05or 009 Darren Turner,

00:02:07but it was flashing the headlights

00:02:08as the forlorn sight of the number one Peugeot

00:02:10sitting in the garage,

00:02:12abandoned by the team to its fate.

00:02:16Unfortunately, it coughed and spewed its cylinders out.

00:02:19Exactly the right-hand bank,

00:02:20exactly the same as the other car did as well.

00:02:23And that car is the second-place car, of course,

00:02:25in LMP2, the Oak Racing Pestro,

00:02:27Le Guillaume Morrow at the wheel at the moment.

00:02:30Well, we saw a minute ago, didn't we,

00:02:32Oog de Schoenach going and putting his arm

00:02:33around Olivier Canal,

00:02:34and this sort of real reversal there, you know,

00:02:37a man who has been through the mill at Le Mans

00:02:40so many times since that win

00:02:42where he orchestrated Mazda's win in 1991.

00:02:45And de Schoenach knows the heartbreak of not finishing.

00:02:48I mean, almost everybody who comes to Le Mans does.

00:02:50So he was able to offer a little bit of sympathy

00:02:53to Olivier Canal,

00:02:54but you can see there clearly the emotion of the moment

00:02:56is not lost on him either.

00:02:58There is still a slender chance

00:02:59his car might salvage a podium for Peugeot,

00:03:02but it is still only a slender chance.

00:03:05And Loic Duval is going to have to take it off Tom Christensen.

00:03:08That's not going to be easy in any man's game.

00:03:12However, we're looking right now,

00:03:13Loic Duval is doing a quicker lap time than Christensen.

00:03:16Tom Christensen has just done a 3.25.

00:03:18Duval has done a 3.22.

00:03:19And the team orders we heard

00:03:21were to push as hard as they can no matter what.

00:03:24RML car third in the LMP2 category at the moment

00:03:27after a catalogue of small trouble early in the day.

00:03:31We're going to switch over now

00:03:33to Eurosport International for the race finale.

00:03:37So thank you for being with us on Eurosport 2.

00:03:39Just flick up one channel

00:03:41and we'll be on the big bird in just a moment.

00:03:44On the other side of this break,

00:03:45we'll see you on Eurosport International

00:03:47and on British Eurosport 1.

00:03:49Until then, bye for now.

00:03:54Welcome back to Le Mans.

00:04:14Our coverage continues on British Eurosport

00:04:17and Eurosport International

00:04:18as Audi quite incredibly

00:04:20live first, second and third

00:04:23with an hour and 48 minutes of the race remaining.

00:04:26Of the four Peugeot that started this race,

00:04:28just one remains.

00:04:29Loic Duval in the Orica Run car in fourth place.

00:04:32Our best P2 car is the Stracker Racing HPD Acura.

00:04:37That is like seventh ahead of the Ope Racing

00:04:39and the lower HPD of RML.

00:04:44In GT2, the lead battle is now for 30 years overall.

00:04:48Knocking on the top ten markedly proportionally

00:04:51after the Gull West challenge.

00:04:54In GT1, the scene of Julian Canale and his colleagues

00:04:58has now crept up into 50th position.

00:05:01So, remarkable range of attrition through the night.

00:05:04After ten hours, we still had 40 build-off 55 starters.

00:05:08We're now down to 30 cars remaining from 55.

00:05:12And as ever, having run relatively free through the night

00:05:17when the sun came up,

00:05:18suddenly all those old cars seemed to fall by the wayside.

00:05:22Well, it's been a remarkable race in terms of twists of fate,

00:05:26but also, too, through some advances early on,

00:05:29a really close back of the GT2 was a really massive epic

00:05:33for quite a while.

00:05:34And we'll be joining you by Jill Campbell

00:05:37from Master Raceway, the Gull West.

00:05:39And our friend Jill,

00:05:41you've just seen the last of the American Art Series races

00:05:44at your circuit a couple of weeks ago.

00:05:46And I think it's sort of reflected the way

00:05:48that the car happens to be in the States this year as well.

00:05:51It's one very first.

00:05:52Oh, most certainly.

00:05:54I think that we're seeing some of the best racing

00:05:56that we've seen in many of the years,

00:05:58the GT battle.

00:06:00So, that was amazing.

00:06:03You know, it was like everybody wanted to win the GT class.

00:06:08And certainly the prototypes were out there doing their job,

00:06:12but the GT race were something spectacular to watch.

00:06:15It's funny, isn't it?

00:06:16You know, we're in a period of really severe economic strakes

00:06:19for car manufacturers and the fans

00:06:21and everybody else involved in the matter of racing.

00:06:25And yet, sports car racing seems to be having,

00:06:27you know, another breath.

00:06:29There's an increasing interest in more manufacturers

00:06:32than they ever heard of the GT class.

00:06:34And even the prototype fields with the LMP2 customer cars

00:06:37are looking really competitive.

00:06:39So, people still are managing to find the money

00:06:41to get on the table to go racing.

00:06:43So, this is a tremendous platform for manufacturers

00:06:46for research and development, you know,

00:06:48the going back to the old days of race today by tomorrow.

00:06:52This certainly works.

00:06:53And I think, like you say, seeing new teams coming in,

00:06:56and certainly, you know, it's a thrill for me

00:06:58to be able to come from America to Le Mans

00:07:00and see these teams racing here and doing their best.

00:07:05It's a wonderful opportunity to be effective

00:07:08to show their stuff.

00:07:09I think that, you know, unless you experience this,

00:07:13you really have no idea as to the, the truth of it.

00:07:18And I think that, you know,

00:07:20I think that, you know, unless you experience this,

00:07:24you've got an amazingly good idea of what the race is about,

00:07:28but there's an awful lot more.

00:07:30And we always ask, you know,

00:07:31are you going to win the way in that we come back?

00:07:33Do you know what about you?

00:07:34Oh, my goodness.

00:07:35I think that, you know, unless you experience this,

00:07:38you really have no idea

00:07:40as to the true essence of the world.

00:07:45I want to take some of this home.

00:07:46I know.

00:07:46Well, if you could follow it,

00:07:48it would be fantastic, wouldn't it?

00:07:49We're going to have a quick word

00:07:50with Dr. Volker Moritz-Giardy

00:07:52in just a moment,

00:07:53so stay with us there for a second job.

00:07:55Lloyd Duvall in the Opel Crosion,

00:07:58incidentally,

00:07:59now on a real quick.

00:08:01He's down below the 320s.

00:08:02And the fastest lap we've seen in Opel Crosion

00:08:04in the entire race

00:08:07has been a 321

00:08:09that the number one cup

00:08:10actually Davidson was doing

00:08:11in the middle of the night.

00:08:13Lloyd Duvall now down

00:08:14319.7

00:08:16I don't recall exactly what

00:08:17the whole position was,

00:08:18but he's going very early

00:08:20as quick as that.

00:08:21Now, let's have a look

00:08:22about the whole coverage.

00:08:23Dr. Volker,

00:08:24less than two hours to go

00:08:26and three cars

00:08:28in the front of the race.

00:08:31Yeah, this looks nice at present,

00:08:32but the race is over at 3 o'clock

00:08:34and we have made enough experience

00:08:38of being very cautious with that.

00:08:42So before it's 3 o'clock,

00:08:44you never can be sure.

00:08:47After the qualifier,

00:08:49everyone was saying,

00:08:50yeah, Audi seems really calm

00:08:52about the performance of Peugeot.

00:08:54And now we see that

00:08:56Peugeot has so many problems.

00:08:59That was a good strategy

00:09:00about Audi.

00:09:02I mean, we pushed very much

00:09:04on efficiency

00:09:05and on a car that we have developed

00:09:09nicely through a year

00:09:11and that we have been quite sure

00:09:14that we have our preparation done well.

00:09:17At the end,

00:09:18you see it in the race

00:09:19and for sure there is another two hours

00:09:21to go until now.

00:09:24It looked on the technical side

00:09:25quite smooth,

00:09:26but I don't want to comment this.

00:09:29It was maybe a bad sign.

00:09:31So I'm looking forward

00:09:32to the next two hours to pass

00:09:34and hopefully we are there

00:09:36where we want it to be

00:09:38at 3 o'clock.

00:09:41A more personal question,

00:09:43when do you sleep?

00:09:46Not on Saturday and Sunday.

00:09:53Well, I hope you heard that.

00:09:55I hope you didn't get

00:09:55a single word of it.

00:09:56I hope Dr. Horish

00:09:58was maybe a little more relaxed

00:09:59than he was early on

00:10:00when he went on

00:10:01to do Remonstrate

00:10:01severely with Charlie Lennon.

00:10:03It's an early Leuternberg

00:10:053.19, 7.32 last lap.

00:10:0821,000 of pole positions.

00:10:11So the pace of me

00:10:12really picking up

00:10:13and as you saw

00:10:15Olivia Cannell

00:10:16stepping down

00:10:16off the pit.

00:10:17And we're looking here

00:10:18at our GT Corvette.

00:10:20The battle for second place.

00:10:22The Aston Martin

00:10:23young driver's Aston

00:10:24and Peter Cox

00:10:25in second place.

00:10:26Peter Cox driving that car

00:10:27at the moment.

00:10:28Four minutes ahead

00:10:29of the Alphard

00:10:30mature Corvette

00:10:30with Jurek Wallycar

00:10:32and Will.

00:10:32And for that car now

00:10:34carrying the team's back

00:10:35and it looks like

00:10:36survival of the fittest

00:10:37is going to be

00:10:38their prime concern.

00:10:40And welcoming back

00:10:41Jeremy Shaw

00:10:42on to Eurosport

00:10:43airways

00:10:44for the race of the morning.

00:10:45And with us

00:10:46is Jill Campbell

00:10:46from Mazda Raceway

00:10:47to do the safety

00:10:48as well.

00:10:48And Jill

00:10:49listening on the radio

00:10:52to the six hours

00:10:53at Mazda Raceway

00:10:54the other week

00:10:55it did seem

00:10:56that pretty much

00:10:57lying here in the mall.

00:10:59It was

00:11:00for a six hour race

00:11:01it had all the hallmarks

00:11:03of being

00:11:03a ten lap sprint.

00:11:04It was a real

00:11:05bare knuckle fight

00:11:06all the way through.

00:11:06It was

00:11:07survival of the fittest

00:11:09every step of the way

00:11:10and

00:11:11watch these drivers

00:11:13who have to hold

00:11:15their concentration

00:11:16for so long

00:11:17for such a long period

00:11:18of time

00:11:19it just amazes

00:11:20it's no wonder

00:11:22there's so many

00:11:22about it over here.

00:11:24Well that's right

00:11:24and so much emotion

00:11:26as well

00:11:27I think all the teams

00:11:28have already been up

00:11:28well way over 24 hours

00:11:3036 hours

00:11:31counting now

00:11:32they will all be in the circuit

00:11:33around 6 or 7 o'clock

00:11:34Saturday morning

00:11:36after for a lot of

00:11:37a fairly long

00:11:38a tight week

00:11:38I mean some teams

00:11:39have major rebuilds

00:11:40each day

00:11:41during the day

00:11:43overnighters

00:11:44starting on Monday night

00:11:45and Tuesday night

00:11:46and so on

00:11:46so some of them

00:11:47are utterly running out

00:11:48before the race even starts

00:11:49which is hardly

00:11:50what you call ideal

00:11:51but on the other hand

00:11:52these boys

00:11:53you've got to fight

00:11:54this thing

00:11:55it is a little bit

00:11:56Jeremy Light

00:11:57wrestling an alligator

00:11:58really you know

00:11:59if you take your hand

00:12:00and snout

00:12:01you know you're going

00:12:02and you've just got to

00:12:03keep in battle

00:12:03until one of you

00:12:04keeps up

00:12:05yeah the best drug

00:12:07in the world

00:12:08adrenaline

00:12:08nice and natural

00:12:10love it

00:12:11indeed

00:12:12you were just talking

00:12:13about that fastest lap

00:12:14set at moments of two

00:12:15years by

00:12:16Duval

00:12:16and the fastest lap

00:12:18on the race so far

00:12:19I was talking about

00:12:21a while ago

00:12:21the fact that all

00:12:22three drivers

00:12:22that you've kind of

00:12:23but one

00:12:23set lap time

00:12:24for within the

00:12:253 minutes 19 range

00:12:27and I think you've

00:12:27said that

00:12:283 minutes 19

00:12:31point seven

00:12:31well the fastest lap

00:12:33of the race so far

00:12:34at 319.241

00:12:36we're not going to

00:12:36seem to be

00:12:37going faster

00:12:37at 319.241

00:12:39which I think

00:12:40was Anthony Davidson

00:12:41and that compares

00:12:43to the track record

00:12:44here

00:12:45at 319.394

00:12:47so

00:12:47a second or more

00:12:49quicker

00:12:49Anthony Davidson

00:12:52has gone

00:12:52than did

00:12:53Sebastian

00:12:54did

00:12:557 Sarazar

00:12:56two years ago

00:12:57and there's been

00:12:58a lot of restrictions

00:12:59put on these diesel

00:13:00cars since then

00:13:01again I think it

00:13:02shows the phenomenal

00:13:03step forward that

00:13:04Peugeot have made

00:13:05with the evolution

00:13:06of this car

00:13:06really very quick

00:13:08indeed this year

00:13:09yeah the race pace

00:13:10this year

00:13:115,6 miles quicker

00:13:12than just one year

00:13:13ago

00:13:14and that's despite

00:13:15some restrictions

00:13:15as you say

00:13:16a huge amount

00:13:17of development

00:13:17cars

00:13:18but there's tyres

00:13:19too

00:13:19I think we'll

00:13:19pass it up

00:13:20and underestimate

00:13:20that a little bit

00:13:21through this event

00:13:22because Michelin

00:13:23has put a lot

00:13:24of effort

00:13:24into developing

00:13:25these cars

00:13:25particularly

00:13:26in conjunction

00:13:27with the Peugeot

00:13:28team

00:13:29we're looking

00:13:29at the gap

00:13:30on the road

00:13:31between the

00:13:32Audi

00:13:33and the Peugeot

00:13:34I think that's

00:13:35what the director

00:13:35is looking for

00:13:36here

00:13:36Dindo Capello

00:13:38now at the wheel

00:13:39of car number

00:13:397

00:13:40and you saw him

00:13:41going through

00:13:41shot there

00:13:42it's Lloyd Duval

00:13:42behind him

00:13:43and that's

00:13:44what that gap

00:13:45looks like

00:13:45at the line

00:13:46last time

00:13:4632.7 seconds

00:13:48Dindo of course

00:13:49on his out lap

00:13:51they're likely

00:13:52to go out

00:13:53to find

00:13:54that means

00:13:55that it's a slightly

00:13:55different strategy

00:13:57that may come

00:13:59into play

00:14:00later on

00:14:01don't forget

00:14:01you've got

00:14:02an hour of 40 minutes

00:14:03which means

00:14:03they're holding

00:14:04at least

00:14:05a fuel stop

00:14:06from now

00:14:07to the end

00:14:08of the race

00:14:08because they're

00:14:09doing around

00:14:10a 50 minute

00:14:1045 minute

00:14:11stick

00:14:12but that means

00:14:13that depending

00:14:14on how it cycles

00:14:15that third place

00:14:16might be entirely

00:14:18subject

00:14:18to a second stop

00:14:20or possibly

00:14:21one

00:14:21possibly

00:14:22both

00:14:22in the cars

00:14:23there is

00:14:23Dindo of the fellow

00:14:24in the car

00:14:25he shares with

00:14:26Tom Christensen

00:14:26and Aldo Nation

00:14:27barring an incident

00:14:28in the AWR car

00:14:29perhaps they might

00:14:30have been

00:14:31very likely

00:14:32at the top

00:14:33of the Audi

00:14:34pile

00:14:34because they were

00:14:35at the top

00:14:36of the Audi

00:14:37added to his

00:14:38phenomenal run

00:14:39of the Montlux

00:14:40here

00:14:40Dindo of the

00:14:43Albo

00:14:43pushing very hard

00:14:45indeed

00:14:45now we've

00:14:46shown that

00:14:47his instructions

00:14:48to the team

00:14:49are just

00:14:50to give

00:14:50everything

00:14:51to treat

00:14:51it as

00:14:52a ten

00:14:53lateral

00:14:53it's a qualified

00:14:54run

00:14:55and leave

00:14:56absolutely

00:14:56nothing

00:14:57to take

00:14:58every chance

00:14:58possible

00:14:59to take

00:14:59every risk

00:15:00and just

00:15:01to flail the car

00:15:02until it

00:15:02either

00:15:02wins or gives up

00:15:03and the drivers

00:15:04of this

00:15:05what a simple

00:15:05car

00:15:05which will

00:15:06run

00:15:06for 13

00:15:08LeMontran drive

00:15:09which is

00:15:10over

00:15:10the

00:15:10two

00:15:11and that's

00:15:13before we start

00:15:14getting to see

00:15:14the

00:15:14little bit of the

00:15:15team

00:15:15but all the other

00:15:16wins

00:15:16are a really

00:15:17stunning

00:15:18driver

00:15:19and the gap

00:15:20now has been

00:15:21up from 32

00:15:22to 26

00:15:24seconds

00:15:25on that last

00:15:26lap

00:15:26between 30

00:15:27and 40

00:15:27and 4

00:15:28excuse me

00:15:29326.6

00:15:31and you know

00:15:32you're better

00:15:32at 320.2

00:15:34so 6.47

00:15:35as we've got

00:15:36that lap

00:15:36don't do that

00:15:37and that

00:15:38is starting to

00:15:39share

00:15:39to perhaps

00:15:40what version

00:15:40has really got

00:15:42you know

00:15:42they can do

00:15:4319s and 20s

00:15:44on this car

00:15:44and almost

00:15:45at will

00:15:45in the last

00:15:4650 minutes

00:15:46that gap

00:15:47is exactly

00:15:48a bit hard

00:15:49in the last

00:15:4952 seconds

00:15:5050 minutes

00:15:51ago

00:15:51he's out

00:16:14multiple race

00:16:15winning team

00:16:16in third place

00:16:24against time

00:16:25and against

00:16:26this capricious

00:16:27race

00:16:28the bomb

00:16:28is without

00:16:29any doubt

00:16:30and with no

00:16:31disrespect

00:16:31everyone for

00:16:31me and me

00:16:32it is without

00:16:34doubt

00:16:34female

00:16:35because it is

00:16:36so demanding

00:16:37and so difficult

00:16:39and yet

00:16:39so rewarding

00:16:41if you get it

00:16:41right

00:16:50a really

00:16:51cruel

00:16:51let's just

00:16:52look

00:16:52the gap

00:16:53down from

00:16:54first to second

00:16:54the high five

00:16:55down to

00:16:5623.000

00:16:58seconds

00:16:58about

00:16:59compelling

00:16:59you've got it

00:17:00and you've got it

00:17:12Monterey Historic

00:17:13coming up

00:17:13it's been a tough

00:17:14time for circuit

00:17:15almost

00:17:15particularly

00:17:16Master Raceway

00:17:17because you don't

00:17:17know the facility

00:17:18you administer the

00:17:20facility

00:17:20and so you've got

00:17:21to

00:17:41something from

00:17:42Le Mans

00:17:52make

00:17:52just

00:17:53just

00:17:54and Audi

00:17:58I think

00:17:59will make

00:17:59a pit stop

00:18:00so they'll

00:18:02spend about

00:18:0340 seconds

00:18:04less in the pit

00:18:05than we will

00:18:05so

00:18:09hopefully

00:18:11the last

00:18:11in will go

00:18:12well

00:18:14okay

00:18:14well that

00:18:15answers

00:18:16that answers

00:18:17the questions

00:18:18that we were

00:18:18asking then

00:18:19one more

00:18:21stop

00:18:21for Audi

00:18:22for your

00:18:23record

00:18:23it is

00:18:23for them

00:18:25so

00:18:26but you

00:18:26must make

00:18:27the pass

00:18:28once

00:18:29stop for fuel

00:18:30and then make

00:18:31it again

00:18:31number 52

00:18:33going slowly

00:18:34at the moment

00:18:35and that is the

00:18:35other driver

00:18:36Aston Martin

00:18:37as you saw

00:18:38there

00:18:38Christopher Nygaard

00:18:39Tomashega

00:18:39and Peter

00:18:40and Peter

00:18:40and that car

00:18:42was in second

00:18:43place

00:18:44in the GT1

00:18:45class

00:18:45again Jill

00:18:46talking about

00:18:47getting get

00:18:48in of course

00:18:48the AMS races

00:18:50is always big

00:18:51motorcycle racing

00:18:52is always big

00:18:53and I know MotoGP

00:18:54was a great addition

00:18:55to your calendar

00:18:55but Monterey

00:18:56Historics is one of the

00:18:57things that everybody

00:18:58thinks of

00:18:58when you talk about

00:19:00Pebble Beach

00:19:01and Mazda Raceway

00:19:02are all in that same

00:19:03breath

00:19:03and presumably that's

00:19:04another big focus

00:19:05for your season

00:19:07oh it's huge

00:19:07and as you said

00:19:08you listed all of our

00:19:09big events

00:19:10and Monterey

00:19:17a new dawn

00:19:24sports car racing

00:19:26vehicles will be

00:19:29we're a non-profit

00:19:30organisation

00:19:30so these events

00:19:32are very important

00:19:33and getting fans

00:19:39important

00:19:40the fans

00:19:41that are here

00:19:41you know

00:19:42rather than

00:19:42endurance race

00:19:43in themselves

00:19:44I think

00:19:44so I'll take

00:19:45some of them

00:19:58thank you very much

00:19:59to be sure

00:20:00the finalist race

00:20:03I'm sorry

00:20:03I've been quite

00:20:04young

00:20:04that's it

00:20:04on Chris Potty

00:20:05CC

00:20:05is it

00:20:09unraveling in front of our eyes

00:20:11because of the

00:20:12all the feet

00:20:12or the least

00:20:13strong team

00:20:14doesn't seem to be

00:20:15really struggling here

00:20:16and actually the

00:20:17extent of the most

00:20:18experience of the

00:20:19more out

00:20:19well down the record

00:20:21BC has been doing

00:20:22an extremely good job

00:20:24a faster sector

00:20:28time

00:20:28yep

00:20:29see on our screen

00:20:30faster sector

00:20:31third sector

00:20:32ever

00:20:32of the entire race

00:20:33doesn't seem to be

00:20:34able to do it

00:20:35in sector 1

00:20:35and 2

00:20:36but sector 3

00:20:36the Porsche

00:20:37curtain's getting

00:20:37even better

00:20:38now

00:20:38390

00:20:3907

00:20:40and so we are

00:20:42getting into the

00:20:44318s

00:20:45bear in mind

00:20:45he's running low

00:20:46on fuel now

00:20:47so he'll be in those

00:20:48really fast laps

00:20:49now let's get down to the pit lane again

00:20:52see if we can catch up with Pedro Lamy

00:20:54Pedro Lamy

00:20:5890 minutes

00:20:59left in this race

00:21:02I think this is not the place

00:21:04where you wanted to watch it from

00:21:05well of course

00:21:07it's very difficult

00:21:09I mean in my car

00:21:10we stopped too early

00:21:11and then

00:21:12car number 2

00:21:14number 1

00:21:15they had trailers

00:21:17with the engine

00:21:18and they had to stop as well

00:21:20so

00:21:21we should score this year

00:21:23who are very sad

00:21:25the team worked

00:21:26very hard for that

00:21:28it's a very good job

00:21:30the car was very good

00:21:31but

00:21:32it's a racing

00:21:33you know

00:21:33I mean

00:21:34the team now is to

00:21:35start working

00:21:36and it's been starting

00:21:38already for the future

00:21:39but

00:21:39now it's

00:21:41time to think

00:21:42what was wrong

00:21:43and

00:21:43if we can avoid

00:21:44the car was in its fourth year

00:21:47usually

00:21:47reliability

00:21:48shouldn't be a problem

00:21:49in this stage

00:21:50but is it the whole

00:21:52rule change

00:21:53that brought the problems

00:21:53for Brazil?

00:21:55maybe a bit

00:21:56and you know

00:21:57I'm not sure

00:21:58but

00:21:59when you have a car

00:22:01that you

00:22:02you don't push

00:22:04for the limits

00:22:04maybe that break

00:22:06so we had a car

00:22:08that we had to

00:22:09go on the limits

00:22:10in every aspect

00:22:11maybe that's the reason

00:22:13the car become

00:22:14a bit more fragile

00:22:15I don't know

00:22:16where do you go

00:22:17from here

00:22:18for next year?

00:22:19next year

00:22:22what?

00:22:24if I come back here

00:22:25I hope

00:22:25I stay with me

00:22:26sure

00:22:27I don't know

00:22:28thank you

00:22:30well I think we're hearing

00:22:32Pedro Lamy

00:22:33echo the words

00:22:34we were maybe saying

00:22:35earlier

00:22:35that we thought

00:22:36might have been the case

00:22:37pushing those pressure

00:22:38so hard

00:22:39that perhaps

00:22:39they pushed them

00:22:40beyond the levels

00:22:40of reliability

00:22:41just don't really know

00:22:433 minutes

00:22:4419-0 though

00:22:45for Loic Duvalo

00:22:47we saw

00:22:47the team

00:22:48punching the air

00:22:49and clapping

00:22:49when they saw

00:22:50that time come up

00:22:51an incredible time

00:22:52actually smashing

00:22:53the record

00:22:54and the qualifying time

00:22:55and I think

00:22:56we could be seeing

00:22:57a time in 3.18 soon

00:22:58yeah

00:22:59I don't think

00:23:00that's far away

00:23:00that record is

00:23:013.18.5

00:23:03and the race record

00:23:05record lap

00:23:06is 3.19.3

00:23:08so he's inside

00:23:09the all time record

00:23:11for a race

00:23:12and that means

00:23:13the track record

00:23:14will have been

00:23:15Stefan Sarazan's

00:23:16fastest ever

00:23:17pole time

00:23:18it's half a second away

00:23:19at least the way

00:23:20things are going

00:23:21I don't think

00:23:22that's necessarily

00:23:23out of the question

00:23:24Chris you were

00:23:27thinking about

00:23:28various parts

00:23:29the time

00:23:30the time

00:23:31the time

00:23:31the people

00:23:32of course

00:23:33is

00:23:33a pair of

00:23:34Michelin

00:23:35both teams

00:23:36of course

00:23:37Michelin

00:23:37with

00:23:38Veren

00:23:39both looking

00:23:39at potentially

00:23:40being Formula 1

00:23:41suppliers next year

00:23:42as well

00:23:42and one of the

00:23:44things that Michelin

00:23:45were looking at

00:23:45taking into Formula 1

00:23:46was sports car sizes

00:23:48and what wonders

00:23:50whether they might

00:23:51their 400

00:23:52push the 400

00:23:53car sizes

00:23:54yeah that might

00:23:56have to bring

00:23:56sports car type

00:23:57excitement to Formula 1

00:23:58we certainly wouldn't

00:24:00want any of that

00:24:01we'll be back in just a moment

00:24:02for Cynics RRs

00:24:03welcome back live to Le Mans

00:24:07as the Grand Prix

00:24:08driver's Ferrari

00:24:09makes what is likely

00:24:10to be his final stop

00:24:12you would think

00:24:13oh no

00:24:14hour 26

00:24:15Jeremy Shorten

00:24:16sitting there

00:24:17is one as well

00:24:18aren't they

00:24:18I think

00:24:19I think

00:24:20I think

00:24:20I thought they should

00:24:20drive

00:24:21last time

00:24:21I saw

00:24:22Gareth

00:24:23if he came

00:24:24walking back

00:24:24to his

00:24:25garage

00:24:25through the

00:24:27panning

00:24:27about

00:24:2745 minutes

00:24:29to go

00:24:29in France

00:24:30and

00:24:30very impressed

00:24:31that was

00:24:32he was quite happy

00:24:33stopping and signing

00:24:34Simon

00:24:34and I got up

00:24:35to take the pictures

00:24:35for young children

00:24:36and then

00:24:37I would just

00:24:37go out of the car

00:24:38and get up

00:24:39for goodness

00:24:39that's how

00:24:40class acted

00:24:41so

00:24:42the cars

00:24:43still running

00:24:43strongly

00:24:44they were

00:24:44certainly in contention

00:24:45to win this

00:24:46fabulous GT2

00:24:47car

00:24:47they've had to

00:24:48the bottom

00:24:48of the last

00:24:49six hours

00:24:50of the race

00:24:50yes

00:24:51so they

00:24:52currently

00:24:52are in Australia

00:24:54to find one

00:24:55of the screen

00:24:55now

00:24:55with the GT2

00:24:56goodness me

00:24:57yes

00:24:57they're fourth

00:24:58in GT2

00:24:58now

00:24:59do you remember

00:25:00Jeremy

00:25:01yesterday evening

00:25:01we stood

00:25:02chatting to

00:25:03Richard Westbrook

00:25:03in the pad

00:25:04and he was

00:25:04complaining

00:25:05how the

00:25:05race engine

00:25:06they put

00:25:07into that

00:25:07Fino

00:25:07Scuderi

00:25:08Italian

00:25:08portion

00:25:09could

00:25:09pull itself

00:25:10out of its

00:25:10over

00:25:11flat

00:25:12yet

00:25:13because

00:25:14they did

00:25:15which was

00:25:16just sit

00:25:17in the car

00:25:18until it

00:25:18either broke

00:25:19or saw

00:25:19the checkered

00:25:20flag

00:25:20the attrition

00:25:21in GT2

00:25:22has been

00:25:22high enough

00:25:23and they

00:25:24have picked

00:25:24up pace

00:25:24well enough

00:25:25maybe as the

00:25:26engine loosened

00:25:26up

00:25:27that they are

00:25:28now in third

00:25:29place in GT2

00:25:30and I tell you

00:25:30what

00:25:31if you had said

00:25:32I guarantee

00:25:32you'll be on the

00:25:33podium tomorrow

00:25:34to Richard Westbrook

00:25:35he would have

00:25:36laughed in your

00:25:36face yesterday

00:25:37and he was up

00:25:39for the race

00:25:39but he certainly

00:25:40wasn't expecting

00:25:40to be able

00:25:41to do anything

00:25:42in terms of

00:25:43pace

00:25:43but it's not

00:25:44always fast

00:25:45that wins

00:25:45this race

00:25:46this holiday

00:25:46it's not

00:25:47always most

00:25:48reversal

00:25:48that wins

00:25:49this race

00:25:49but it's

00:25:50something in

00:25:51between

00:25:51well we were

00:25:52talking about

00:25:53this just a

00:25:53minute ago

00:25:53between ourselves

00:25:55about how

00:25:55Peugeot has done

00:25:56so much practice

00:25:57around the Paul

00:25:57Ricard circuit

00:25:58but Paul Ricard

00:25:59is not a

00:26:00partial road

00:26:01partial purpose

00:26:02built race track

00:26:03and what we mean

00:26:03by that is

00:26:04you know

00:26:04these cars are

00:26:05having to drive

00:26:06on the actual

00:26:06Mulsan straight

00:26:07which is a

00:26:07public road

00:26:08all the rest

00:26:09of the time

00:26:09even between

00:26:10practice sessions

00:26:11and you don't

00:26:12see it on the

00:26:13TV but it is

00:26:14very bumpy

00:26:14and actually even

00:26:15just crossing

00:26:16over the white

00:26:16dividing line

00:26:17of the circuit

00:26:18bottoms out

00:26:18these cars

00:26:19as a driver

00:26:20you have to

00:26:20come onto the

00:26:21straight and

00:26:21actually pick

00:26:22your crossover

00:26:22point

00:26:23we can see

00:26:24some of the

00:26:24bumps in the

00:26:25other portions

00:26:25the cars

00:26:27as they come

00:26:27into the

00:26:27axis

00:26:28there's a

00:26:28huge bump

00:26:29there

00:26:29I don't think

00:26:30they would have

00:26:30found that

00:26:31anywhere else

00:26:32but you're

00:26:32brilliant

00:26:32I think the

00:26:33only other

00:26:33place that

00:26:34you could do

00:26:35is proper

00:26:35test

00:26:36to really

00:26:36prepare yourself

00:26:37for the

00:26:38Mul would be

00:26:38secret

00:26:39in my opinion

00:26:39well the other

00:26:40thing Jeremy

00:26:41is

00:26:41that's the

00:26:42beginning of

00:26:42the race

00:26:43the apple

00:26:43for fourth

00:26:44place

00:26:44with this

00:26:44orica car

00:26:45and

00:26:46an

00:26:47if you were

00:26:48doing a

00:26:4924 hour

00:26:49simulation

00:26:50two of your

00:26:51cars

00:26:51started off

00:26:52at each

00:26:52other like

00:26:52that

00:26:53the first

00:26:54thing that

00:26:54happens

00:26:54is the radio

00:26:55cramping to life

00:26:56and going

00:26:56come on

00:26:56let's not mess

00:26:57around

00:26:58we've got to

00:26:58be serious

00:26:59when you get

00:27:00a simulator

00:27:00you're testing

00:27:01the new

00:27:01inventory

00:27:02but what you're

00:27:03not doing

00:27:04is putting it

00:27:04to the

00:27:04output of the

00:27:05test

00:27:05and there is

00:27:06still no more

00:27:07ultimate

00:27:07attest

00:27:08than the

00:27:08racing at

00:27:09Le Mans

00:27:09what it

00:27:10was designed

00:27:10to do

00:27:1181

00:27:12editions ago

00:27:13back in

00:27:131920

00:27:14nearly a

00:27:15century ago

00:27:16it's still

00:27:17doing

00:27:17testing cars

00:27:19to their

00:27:19absolute

00:27:20ultimate

00:27:20you're absolutely

00:27:21right

00:27:21both of you

00:27:22because

00:27:22Liz was talking

00:27:24there about

00:27:24the benefits

00:27:26of testing

00:27:26at Seabring

00:27:27okay Seabring

00:27:28isn't as fast

00:27:29as Le Mans

00:27:29it is a fast

00:27:30circuit

00:27:31it's not

00:27:31straight

00:27:31but it's still

00:27:32a quick

00:27:33track

00:27:33and it's

00:27:34very very

00:27:34bumpy

00:27:35it is a real

00:27:35test

00:27:36of man

00:27:37and machine

00:27:38there

00:27:38so it is a

00:27:38great warm

00:27:39up

00:27:39those four

00:27:40of Le Mans

00:27:4024 hours

00:27:41we've seen

00:27:41many many

00:27:42teams in the

00:27:43past

00:27:43shaking their

00:27:45cars down

00:27:45just preparing

00:27:46themselves

00:27:47for Le Mans

00:27:47it's kind of

00:27:48ironic isn't it

00:27:48that this year

00:27:49Peugeot

00:27:50they went to

00:27:52Seabring

00:27:53and Audi

00:27:53did not

00:27:54and yet it's

00:27:55worked out

00:27:55because it seems

00:27:55to be the other

00:27:56way around

00:27:56it is simply

00:27:57getting the

00:27:58car for Le Mans

00:27:58in pit road

00:28:00waiting for

00:28:01Peugeot

00:28:02number

00:28:02400

00:28:02by Leut

00:28:03Duval

00:28:03this is the

00:28:04car that

00:28:04Leut

00:28:05is chasing

00:28:05he is

00:28:0611

00:28:07well he

00:28:07was

00:28:0811.4

00:28:09seconds

00:28:09behind

00:28:10at the

00:28:10beginning

00:28:11of the

00:28:11lap

00:28:11I can't

00:28:12accept

00:28:12325

00:28:15to 325

00:28:16which means

00:28:18that he will

00:28:19almost

00:28:19see

00:28:20the Audi

00:28:21in places

00:28:23of this

00:28:23lap

00:28:24just

00:28:24it'll be

00:28:25almost

00:28:26in vision

00:28:27before

00:28:27before he gets

00:28:29out of the

00:28:29corner

00:28:29he just

00:28:30gets a

00:28:30sight of

00:28:31it

00:28:31now

00:28:32suddenly

00:28:32if he was

00:28:33doing

00:28:33320

00:28:34and 319

00:28:35before

00:28:35he's found

00:28:37half a second

00:28:37or a second

00:28:38of that

00:28:39in place

00:28:39just finally

00:28:40able to see

00:28:41Leut Duval

00:28:42is now

00:28:42going to

00:28:43hunt him

00:28:43right down

00:28:43but with

00:28:44you said

00:28:44that

00:28:45chances are

00:28:46he's going

00:28:47to get

00:28:47right behind

00:28:48his last

00:28:49wisps of

00:28:49fuel

00:28:50then have to

00:28:50dive in

00:28:51for the

00:28:51first

00:28:52of what

00:28:52we've been

00:28:53told

00:28:53will have

00:28:54to be

00:28:54two

00:28:54stops

00:28:55before

00:28:55this

00:28:56project

00:28:56so

00:28:57I mean

00:28:58you need

00:28:59a slide rule

00:28:59and a mind

00:29:00like

00:29:00and a trap

00:29:01and who's

00:29:01got it

00:29:02there

00:29:02I mean

00:29:03a slide rule

00:29:03it is

00:29:04there

00:29:04but after

00:29:05all this

00:29:05time

00:29:05who's

00:29:06got the

00:29:07mind

00:29:07that can

00:29:07do

00:29:07that

00:29:08hopefully

00:29:08on

00:29:08big

00:29:09walls

00:29:09everybody

00:29:10still

00:29:10has

00:29:10got

00:29:11a

00:29:11grave

00:29:12like

00:29:12a

00:29:12process

00:29:12because

00:29:13they're

00:29:14going to

00:29:14need

00:29:14to

00:29:14make

00:29:14sure

00:29:15they

00:29:15don't

00:29:15put

00:29:15a

00:29:15kilo

00:29:16extra

00:29:16fuel

00:29:16in

00:29:40and it

00:29:40won't

00:29:41mean

00:29:41anything

00:29:41so

00:29:41it's

00:29:42going

00:29:42to

00:29:42be

00:29:42really

00:29:42exciting

00:29:43to

00:29:43watch

00:29:43the

00:29:43pit

00:29:44off

00:29:45they'll

00:29:46probably

00:29:46in the

00:29:46back

00:29:46when you see

00:29:47them in

00:29:47the locker

00:29:49room

00:29:49held

00:29:49up

00:29:49seated

00:29:50up

00:29:50banging

00:29:50heads

00:29:51on

00:29:51the

00:29:51locker

00:29:51room

00:29:52get that

00:29:52adrenaline

00:29:53going

00:29:53oh boy

00:29:54because

00:29:54you know

00:29:55you want to be calm

00:29:56but that adrenaline

00:29:57it's what it does

00:29:58to your brain

00:29:59Jeremy

00:29:59you know

00:30:00Lloyd Duval's driving

00:30:01a car in a way

00:30:02that he couldn't

00:30:02have driven it

00:30:03in qualifying

00:30:03just because the

00:30:05adrenaline

00:30:10he must be

00:30:11pulling the steering

00:30:12wheel towards

00:30:13him with his

00:30:14fingertips

00:30:14come on

00:30:15closer

00:30:16come on

00:30:16baby

00:30:17let's do

00:30:17this thing

00:30:18he's really

00:30:18taking full

00:30:19advantage of

00:30:20this low fuel

00:30:20tank right here

00:30:21towards the end

00:30:22of the

00:30:22step

00:30:22I reckon

00:30:22he's probably

00:30:23going to be

00:30:23in this lap

00:30:24around

00:30:25for kind

00:30:26of round

00:30:26four

00:30:26the interesting

00:30:28thing is

00:30:29going to be

00:30:29will he change

00:30:30tyres

00:30:30you're right

00:30:31there's been

00:30:32about 45 minutes

00:30:33between pit stops

00:30:35so they will

00:30:36have to make

00:30:37one more

00:30:37almost full stop

00:30:38before the end

00:30:39of this race

00:30:40right before we

00:30:41get to the pits

00:30:42then let's take

00:30:42a quick commercial

00:30:43break we'll be

00:30:44back live with

00:30:45more action from

00:30:46Le Mans in just

00:30:46a second

00:30:47welcome back

00:30:53live to Le Mans

00:30:54as the number

00:30:55four

00:30:55Berger has made

00:30:57the first of

00:30:58what we believe

00:30:58will have to be

00:30:59two stops

00:31:00and if ever

00:31:02there was a

00:31:02team fired up

00:31:03for a pit stop

00:31:04this half

00:31:04with a chase

00:31:05they've gone

00:31:06on to

00:31:06second something

00:31:07for Berger

00:31:08to be the team

00:31:09get on the podium

00:31:10and you know

00:31:12that those mechanics

00:31:13are exactly

00:31:14as you said

00:31:14they're just doing

00:31:15the best pit stop

00:31:16they've ever done

00:31:17and they actually

00:31:17ever will do

00:31:18in their lives

00:31:19they would have been

00:31:20so happy before

00:31:21they would have been

00:31:22you know

00:31:22what can each other

00:31:23understand

00:31:24right boys

00:31:24this is where

00:31:25we're trying to

00:31:25this is it

00:31:26I think they've just

00:31:28yeah I think they've

00:31:29done it

00:31:29I think they've done

00:31:29a really good start

00:31:30there

00:31:30we're going to see

00:31:32he's going

00:31:32streaming

00:31:32how have done that

00:31:33done it fast

00:31:34the second time

00:31:34absolutely

00:31:35now

00:31:36we're just saying

00:31:36Lottere coming in

00:31:38this is him

00:31:39he's about to bail out

00:31:40this Audi

00:31:41in second place

00:31:42Bernard still leads

00:31:44in Audi number 9

00:31:45Audi number 8

00:31:46in second place

00:31:47Lottere

00:31:48Marcel Fasler

00:31:49and Benoit Trevier

00:31:51they are the trio

00:31:52so we're driving

00:31:56the chairs

00:31:56and he'll get

00:31:57fresh tyres

00:31:58and at an hour

00:31:59and 16

00:32:00they'll have to splash

00:32:01before the end

00:32:03of the race

00:32:04and that's something

00:32:04that crew chief

00:32:05there that knows

00:32:06the car

00:32:06Brad Kettler

00:32:07will be way

00:32:08familiar with

00:32:09of course

00:32:09for many years

00:32:10the crew chief

00:32:10a champion

00:32:11in the American

00:32:12Northern Series

00:32:13before joining

00:32:14this young line-up

00:32:15for the Audi

00:32:17Sport North America

00:32:18team

00:32:19and of course

00:32:19you know

00:32:20for Audi North America

00:32:22for their car

00:32:23potentially to be

00:32:24the car

00:32:25that wins it

00:32:26the number 9 car

00:32:27that's going to be

00:32:28a huge boost

00:32:29for them and as well

00:32:30we might have

00:32:30to pop pop

00:32:31and burn up

00:32:32and we're about to do that

00:32:34so Andre Lodger

00:32:35to get on his way

00:32:36and get on

00:32:39that's going to be

00:32:40he's just there

00:32:40and that was a quick start

00:32:42that was very quick

00:32:43very quick

00:32:43very smooth

00:32:44as you would expect

00:32:45because you know

00:32:46Audi has been doing this

00:32:47for a decade

00:32:48so they're absolutely

00:32:49well rehearsed

00:32:49doing the last

00:32:50number

00:32:50so that's a great

00:32:51those two cars

00:32:52they're going to have to

00:32:53make one of the

00:32:53tools of which

00:32:54to be about

00:32:55in the number two

00:32:57third

00:32:57second

00:32:58wheel

00:32:58the car number

00:32:59seven

00:32:59with which

00:33:00North Carolina

00:33:00is a defensive

00:33:01fan's late

00:33:02for the final

00:33:02two years

00:33:03between

00:33:03C-10-10

00:33:04on the wheel

00:33:05right now

00:33:05he's going to have to make another pitch

00:33:07though

00:33:07and finish your lead

00:33:09in the middle of the side

00:33:10probably about

00:33:11another four laps

00:33:12over

00:33:13the car number seven

00:33:15possibly

00:33:15there it is

00:33:17pushing as hard as a possibility

00:33:19can

00:33:19he knows his final stop

00:33:21in the middle of the road

00:33:21shorter

00:33:22again

00:33:23the

00:33:24one

00:33:24that is been circling

00:33:26in the middle of the road

00:33:27with a very restricted fuel flow

00:33:30on the ring

00:33:30he's gifted by his stop

00:33:32his stop will be shorter than Persho's

00:33:34the last stop of the mass of travel

00:33:35for Persho team

00:33:36and the third engine

00:33:38has gone

00:33:39oh

00:33:39he knows

00:33:40I was going to be back to say

00:33:42looking at Olivier Canale

00:33:43he knows the highs and lows

00:33:45of this race

00:33:46absolutely

00:33:48now

00:33:48spookish

00:33:49and that

00:33:50he is in

00:33:50and he's five bits of tears

00:33:52just as Olivier Canale was

00:33:54and again

00:33:54the only car

00:33:56that Persho had not lost

00:33:57with an engine failure

00:33:58was the Sebastian Bordet car

00:34:01which went out

00:34:02with a suspension element

00:34:03and down to the tub

00:34:05car number three

00:34:06was made

00:34:07for a regular tub

00:34:08the other three

00:34:10have been let down

00:34:11by his new

00:34:13former

00:34:14powerful

00:34:15and were

00:34:16actually trying

00:34:17and tested

00:34:17Persho engine

00:34:19and from

00:34:20the election

00:34:21last year

00:34:22for Persho

00:34:23winning at Le Bon

00:34:24the heartache

00:34:26and heartbreak

00:34:27the other side

00:34:28of the coin

00:34:28absolutely

00:34:30inconsolable

00:34:31I think

00:34:32he was

00:34:33consolable

00:34:33in the canal

00:34:34now

00:34:35it is

00:34:36he did show that himself

00:34:37who feels that

00:34:38a bitter

00:34:39bitter

00:34:39gall

00:34:40because

00:34:40there is just

00:34:41nothing you can do

00:34:43we heard from him earlier

00:34:44he said to Lord Duval

00:34:46leave nothing

00:34:47give it anything

00:34:48take every chance

00:34:50and there but for an hour

00:34:52and 13 minutes

00:34:53all the day

00:34:54made the play

00:34:55that's exactly what happens

00:34:57when you talk about the sprint race

00:34:58and you're putting the 24th hour race

00:35:00I mean you're pushing

00:35:00everything to

00:35:02absolute odds

00:35:03I mean the test

00:35:04the test

00:35:05races

00:35:05they're not pushing

00:35:08this far

00:35:08are they

00:35:09no

00:35:10I mean

00:35:11and they're not going to be pushing

00:35:12in these conditions

00:35:13either

00:35:13I mean you absolutely cannot simulate

00:35:15a race condition

00:35:16you know

00:35:17in these situations

00:35:18and I don't know what you tell the drivers

00:35:19no matter what you try

00:35:20you are not in the race

00:35:21and I don't think

00:35:22you can ever simulate that

00:35:23and Persho has proved that today

00:35:25and I do feel for them

00:35:26it is just

00:35:27just awful

00:35:27it's not the way you want to see this

00:35:29an hour and 13 minutes

00:35:30from the end of the race

00:35:31but we can get a little bit of all

00:35:32I think it's a big car

00:35:34because my word

00:35:35what performance

00:35:36comes away with

00:35:37a new race lap record

00:35:38a new fastest lap

00:35:39which is absolutely remarkable

00:35:41as we see

00:35:42that race ledger

00:35:43onto the pit lane

00:35:44but you know

00:35:44it's been remarkable

00:35:45to me to see

00:35:46that two lapses

00:35:47faster than qualified

00:35:49in the 24 hour race

00:35:50you've got to be the key

00:35:51have we ever seen that before

00:35:54I mean yeah

00:35:54these races

00:35:56have run at a

00:35:57vastest superior pace

00:35:59so there were 5 years ago

00:36:00I mean 30 or 20 years ago

00:36:02there were cruises

00:36:03for most of the race

00:36:04just to make sure

00:36:04we go to the end

00:36:05nothing like that

00:36:07yes in those days

00:36:08I mean you think about

00:36:09the great qualifying laps

00:36:10in those days

00:36:11qualified for something

00:36:12really special

00:36:13low fuel

00:36:14soft tyres

00:36:14the race was all about

00:36:16survival

00:36:16now is

00:36:17in 23 hours

00:36:19we're going faster

00:36:20than we ever did

00:36:21in practice

00:36:21I mean it's almost

00:36:23unbelievable

00:36:23that it's possible

00:36:24to do with a race

00:36:25and we've been lucky here

00:36:26we've had cool conditions

00:36:27so this is extremely

00:36:28possible

00:36:29we've seen

00:36:29such an incredible

00:36:31performance today

00:36:32I mean we have to take

00:36:33that away

00:36:33and give that to Peugeot

00:36:34what we've seen today

00:36:36is a true performance

00:36:38of skill

00:36:38and speed

00:36:39and unfortunately

00:36:40not reliability

00:36:41I think we're going to go

00:36:42to the pace

00:36:43and get an interview

00:36:44to show NAC

00:36:45that last remaining

00:36:47was last remaining

00:36:48number 4 of Peugeot

00:36:50and this is just

00:36:50such a tragedy

00:36:51for them today

00:36:52to go

00:36:54at this point

00:36:55and actually

00:36:55he can beat it

00:36:56he's got class

00:36:57and he's got

00:36:58he's got class

00:36:59and now he's got

00:36:59he's got one

00:37:01and he's got a

00:37:02great job

00:37:02and now he's got

00:37:03to go

00:37:03and we'll see

00:37:03in the end of the end of the end of the end

00:37:04He's such a sportsman as well, you know, one of the most aiming people you can choose to be, so this is going to be really tough for Hoog to gather himself together.

00:37:19Victor Flack, a moment terrible for you.

00:37:23Yeah, terrible because we never thought that Peugeot could possibly retire from the race and for the same reason for three of them.

00:37:41The pressure here, the speed here has been incredible, but the preparation Peugeot put in was just astonishing.

00:37:51Anouk saying an hour from the finish is almost unacceptable that it ends this way.

00:37:58I think Peugeot have done a phenomenal job that worked so hard to come back after last year and to make so many improvements.

00:38:07Four people came here and to have none of the track at the end really is.

00:38:15It's almost impossible to accept.

00:38:20It's such a huge disappointment for us.

00:38:23We were on the podium.

00:38:25Our car at the gap got cut back down.

00:38:29We were chasing Ian to try and get back into the podium just a few seconds away.

00:38:34We did what we had to do.

00:38:35We gave everything.

00:38:36If life was a little fair and maybe we would have invented a monoponium as well.

00:38:41Peugeot should have got something more than this in all their efforts.

00:38:45It is really cruel.

00:38:46Yes, it is really cruel.

00:38:47I think that's actually a fair comment.

00:38:49You know, for all the effort they put in, for all the entertainment they provided alone, Peugeot deserved to take something away from this.

00:38:56Well, it's not a record, but in the end they won't care too much about that.

00:39:00What they wanted was a team on the podium in amongst the Audis, if nothing else.

00:39:05And I think if you'd ask somebody to predict what this race would bring us, I don't think anybody could have done it.

00:39:11You just never would have imagined having all four Peugeots out, three of them out for the same engine failure.

00:39:16This is just absolute disaster and I do truly feel for them.

00:39:20I think it's just horrible because they've worked so hard.

00:39:22What a tragedy today.

00:39:24Yeah, you completely do.

00:39:26Yeah, we were talking about the way to the factory team.

00:39:29We were thinking about the factory team.

00:39:33Yeah, they're back at Audi team.

00:39:35After practice, it was impossible for us, or Audi, almost to even see how they would get onto the podium.

00:39:42I mean, in the first minutes of the race, they were being left behind by all of the Peugeots.

00:39:48And it just looked as though that was never going to change.

00:39:51But the guillotine has fallen, I'm afraid.

00:39:53And the Peugeot are all done here.

00:39:55Audi, one, two, three.

00:39:58Incredible.

00:39:59Welcome back to Le Mans.

00:40:04Well, I think you may be meeting the hankings, actually, at the end of this, because it's almost an emotional thing to get to the end of Le Mans with Halliday, whether it's wiggings or draw, because everybody is so tired.

00:40:19It is in the canal of Peugeot Sport, and Luke has shown a little bit embracing each other.

00:40:24Their dreams have come crumbling down since the night time, where they lost Sebastian Bordet, Peugeot Largely and Simon Paginot's car earlier, another three car with a suspension failure.

00:40:36They have now lost their remaining three cars, all with identical engine failures, all the right-hand bank of cylinders, all very shortly after pit stop, as I recall.

00:40:46So there is a common element, I'm sure they will apply to that.

00:40:50And whatever else happens, whether it's heat sink in the turbo or something else about being red-hot stopping and then being flailed to within an inch of its life again, something is a common factor.

00:41:03I'm sure they'll find it and come back stronger for next time.

00:41:06Well, I think the reality of it is we will probably never know, because they're not going to tell us the impact of what that happened.

00:41:12Certainly, this is such an emotional experience going through the 24 hours of Le Mans with the team, for the drivers and the team, especially this close to the end, being at the front.

00:41:23So we're just seeing the incredible emotion coming through these teams.

00:41:27Just such a hardship to accept the fact that three cars could fail the exact same way, and they never could have imagined this would happen to them.

00:41:34And I truly feel for them. You know, I know what it's like to drive here and to be a part of it, and it's just so awful for them.

00:41:40Well, that goes wrong.

00:41:41You can see the explosion, the outlet of emotion there, Jeremy Shaw, when it finally is released there.

00:41:46I've got to show you now, I can only have to leave here, you can help.

00:41:49Now, imagine the emotion, you see, in the number nine out of the E.M. football,

00:41:54the team of Bernhardt and Roma do that, hoping against them, praying, against praying, an hour and four minutes and 36 seconds until time is up and they get to the flag.

00:42:07And the pent-up emotions there, I mean, they're just going to be like an absolute pressure cooker waiting to go on.

00:42:16But it's just going to be a remarkable achievement if they've managed to win this race.

00:42:20This is the star of the E.M. football game.

00:42:27And it's still on the podium, at Le Mans, the wonderful Ben Affair doctor GT price victory here.

00:42:34Roman Jumat is being our only captain, but it's just going to be a great team for the 7th.

00:42:41But, to make that a step from just the top seven, the pair with a huge step.

00:42:48And a trio and first time with this R-Race.

00:42:51It's just a place car, Dino Capello on the lane.

00:42:53Danny Warnsdale, the LMP2 leader in the Stratka, racing Acura HPD, taking it very easily.

00:43:01Because, of course, the High Croft Car was their rival for so long, and it has succumbed pretty much to everything.

00:43:07And Stratka are going to try and get the car out at the end of the race, but they really can't run it for more than two or three laps.

00:43:16Marino-Francici was saying earlier.

00:43:18Now, let's get back down to the pit and catch up with more news.

00:43:27Cobalt, Moe, and Olivier.

00:43:31Yeah, absolutely, for the whole team, really, of course, for the drivers, for the drivers, for the mechanics, designers, and everything.

00:43:35We've done our best. We knew we had a car that couldn't win this race.

00:43:39We've done everything we could.

00:43:42And this is really cool.

00:43:44It's a really tough race when it goes badly for you.

00:43:48But Perjot have done a fantastic job.

00:43:50We couldn't have asked them for anything else.

00:43:53You know, the magic of them all is when it happens for you, but now we're all very disappointed.

00:43:58We're going to try and come back and move on to not quite revenge, but, yeah, come back.

00:44:05Let's say we'll see.

00:44:08So, next week, yesterday, we're going to try and come back next week.

00:44:10We'll talk to you in the good morning.

00:44:13We'll have to come back when it comes back.

00:44:13But we week the game for a year is a very long time, when you replace the disappointment.

00:44:19So, in the world, we're going to have to talk about it.

00:44:21Well, there might be a little bit on the first lap, but, possibly, the tens of thousands of

00:44:25alarms, you know?

00:44:26This is hard working with all that preparation that goes into it.

00:44:29It's hard to decide which is actually worse and or better, to be honest.

00:44:33I mean, they're horrible for different reasons.

00:44:36But interestingly, we've seen the minute that failure happened in the Peugeot car,

00:44:40the Audis backed their time standard just a little bit.

00:44:43I think they all took a huge sigh of relief and went,

00:44:45now we can look after these cars and bring them home.

00:44:47Because the next car who was down to benefit from any failure in Audi

00:44:51would be that Lola Aston Martin, currently driven by Sam Hancock,

00:44:55who's done a fantastic job with this car.

00:44:57They're currently lying in fourth place in LMP1,

00:44:59which is brilliant for the petrol cars to have pushed through so many diesels.

00:45:03We never thought this was the case.

00:45:05We thought it'd be a battle for a place.

00:45:06But they've definitely rained it up there.

00:45:09And they're far enough away from the Audis that there isn't a panic in the Audi camp.

00:45:13And I think they're just, the plan now is going to be look after the cars

00:45:17because we've lost so many Lola Aston Martin cars in this race.

00:45:20Now, race leader Timo Bernhardt has now completed 380 laps.

00:45:24And, you know, so what.

00:45:26But Jeremy actually says that it is quite a lot.

00:45:30And the fact that he is now two laps away from the all-time distance record

00:45:35set by Peugeot two years ago in 2009,

00:45:39last year, right, in 2009,

00:45:42is quite remarkable because we've still got an hour racing to go.

00:45:47And they're not going to just creep round.

00:45:52They're going to bust it wide open.

00:45:53They are indeed by a good advantage of probably by 12, 13, 14 laps,

00:45:57which is absolutely amazing.

00:45:59Last year, there was some fairly inclement weather particularly on Sunday morning.

00:46:03So that slowed down the pace somewhat.

00:46:06And we had, what, three pace car cars looked at me yesterday,

00:46:09afternoon and evening.

00:46:11And a couple of people certainly wouldn't see this as well.

00:46:13And one of the ninth passengers, that's part of four degrees.

00:46:16So, absolutely.

00:46:17A couple of passengers were short either.

00:46:18So, I mean, just, again, just, we haven't had it in hand.

00:46:23The pace of these guys have the game.

00:46:25And the first we sort of think it was,

00:46:29we know that people were pushing hard yesterday.

00:46:31I mean, well, they were.

00:46:32And then sort of, we sort of,

00:46:34decrypting sponsoring whatever.

00:46:36So, blablablablabla.

00:46:38Well, I think they were.

00:46:40The last times, when he was talking,

00:46:42we were looking at that version 2nd, 24th or so.

00:46:45But they'll be done in the 22, 21s,

00:46:47before that, and it was a shame that the race car

00:46:51won't be made, but the safe car

00:46:53won't be able to clearly show how close the

00:46:57Audi's could have got to the pleasure, because

00:47:00they were able to save the safe car

00:47:02between them, so they were immediately

00:47:03split, but a good one was won't.

00:47:06Well, I think they were definitely pushing

00:47:07cars straight away, but maybe not hanging

00:47:09an Audi's, the way they get in the car,

00:47:12which is one of those cars dead at the

00:47:13stage in this race, they got the car to

00:47:15absolutely ragged, and I think when they

00:47:18did that, we started to see the times we did,

00:47:19and that is what saw the end of the race.

00:47:34This is how Reinhard Juerst learned to go

00:47:37racing, in the old days of enduring the race,

00:47:41and particularly in the Group Sierra, of

00:47:43course, in which he was a bit of a master as

00:47:45well, you know, you set your race pace, and you

00:47:48stick to it, that's plan A. Plan B, see plan A.

00:47:51There is no variation, you've got to be there at

00:47:54hour 23, then you look at what's what, and see what

00:47:57you've got left to play with. If it rains and you save

00:48:00some fuel, okay, up with the boost, here we go, let's go for it.

00:48:03If not, we are where we are.

00:48:05Interestingly, Audi at the top of the field, some very interesting

00:48:08stories down to classes, of course.

00:48:10Stracca Racing coming here against, well, they're the

00:48:14Le Mans series frontrunners in the LMP2 class, against the

00:48:18America Le Mans series frontrunners in the LMP2 class.

00:48:21Heidcroft racing, Heidcroft the course of the first time here at the Mall, but

00:48:25the, I mean, a massive battle between those two. Heidcroft ended up with

00:48:29problems, perversely, with the HPV pass the package with the engine

00:48:33is overheating, and they've been sort of blunted a little bit.

00:48:35And Stracca, you know, with two front drivers and the

00:48:39Le Mans is going by him saying, you know, a gentleman driver, you know,

00:48:43to end up winning their class against a very serious opposition

00:48:47in their LMP2 class, will be a great reward if they can hang on to it

00:48:50for another hour. In the GT1 class, the Celine now looking as though

00:48:55it's going to claim, in its last time at Le Mans, its first ever win,

00:48:59which is quite remarkable, and from all the contenders in GT2,

00:49:03the GT2, Punisher, of course, coming out on top.

00:49:07You're going to have to boot the implementers, you're four laps ahead

00:49:09leading the LMP2 category, now you're carrying the car.

00:49:13Ah, well, there's still an hour to go, sir, and we reckon about five laps also,

00:49:18so, it's also to play for, but it's a pretty good sofa.

00:49:22So, what do you do during this last hour? Are all the engineers

00:49:26are just listening, more carefully, and monitoring more carefully all the data?

00:49:31Absolutely, we're monitoring everything really closely,

00:49:33not taking any risks on track, avoiding any incidents,

00:49:36and hopefully we'll be able to bring the car home safely

00:49:38out in an hour and a half.

00:49:40Is it any concern what happened to the car and the garage next to you?

00:49:44Do we have a car in the Corp?

00:49:46Ah, a little bit, you know, I really want the other cars to finish,

00:49:49it would be great to bring you to both HPE back,

00:49:51but I think they may well get out and be able to finish the race,

00:49:55in which case it's then to get back from all of us.

00:49:57Thank you very much.

00:50:01Well, Nick never looks like a man who's having a really tough time,

00:50:04but right at the moment he looks like a man who all his dreams are starting to come together.

00:50:11I'm quite sure what the best attention is here.

00:50:17We're going to take a quick commercial break and be right back with you after this.

00:50:22Stay with us for the end of the one live on Eurosport.

00:50:26And the heartbreak continues.

00:50:31Fourth place, Lola Aston Martin, the best of the golf cards.

00:50:35Sam Hancock at the wheel, and it is rolling to a halt out on the circuit.

00:50:41This is a run down towards Indianapolis.

00:50:43The right hand bank of cylinders has had enough and is pouring smoke through,

00:50:49and unfortunately I don't think Sam is going to be in any condition to get him back to the pit lane.

00:50:55Even if he did, I'm not sure there's very much they can do.

00:50:59And Liz, that's really heartbreaking, isn't it?

00:51:02You know, they are now 53 minutes away from a really great result,

00:51:07and unfortunately it is just trickling away from them.

00:51:11And here's the moment we saw those little puffs of smoke on the straight.

00:51:15And that, I'm afraid, is all you need to know.

00:51:18Once the engine starts burning the oil, she's done.

00:51:22I'm actually feeling a little bit close to tears at the moment, I have to be honest,

00:51:25because, you know, poor Sam was in the car with me in 2005 when we were leading LNP2,

00:51:30and we fell years ago.

00:51:32He's not finished this race for a while, and this has been, he's done such a wonderful job in this car.

00:51:37Three drivers half, and I'm just so honored of him to finish,

00:51:40and I'm feeling really sad for him right now.

00:51:42Why, you're not the only one.

00:51:43It's always very emotional at the end of this race, because there are so many good stories,

00:51:47but it's the hard luck stories that really grab your heartstrings.

00:51:51It's a fifth start here at Le Mans for Sam, and he hasn't yet finished the race.

00:51:57It's a fifth start here at Le Mans for Sam.

00:52:00It's not going to go wrong.

00:52:01You guys have done a fantastic job.

00:52:03You know, I think it's beautiful.

00:52:05What they know, if you just lift it around, get back to this,

00:52:10and somehow get around to do that vital lap, that's what you want to do.

00:52:14Lose a gear or something, you know, like how you want to send a Jag,

00:52:18and young lovers driving it home, you can just need a gear for a pit stop,

00:52:22and you know, an hour and a half.

00:52:24That's all, you know, that's all something.

00:52:26But when the engine goes, there is nothing else left, you know.

00:52:30The car that's now going to take its place,

00:52:32Didier-Andre here in Ucassana's Orica AIM,

00:52:36this car has been having nightmares,

00:52:38and so every time it stops in the pits,

00:52:40they have to take a rear bodyguard.

00:52:42English car drivers will be very familiar with this,

00:52:45get a long rod, and drop it down the side of the engine,

00:52:48and bang the start of the engine until the solenoid engages

00:52:51to get it going again, you know.

00:52:53Whatever rugby or dog of the car you have when you're a kid,

00:52:55I'm sure you must have done that at some stage.

00:52:57That's how they're getting their car to the end,

00:53:00and for the people who've shown that,

00:53:02incredibly, Peugeot might have gone,

00:53:04but his other car may be up in four position,

00:53:08as the best of the petrol cars.

00:53:10In fact, it will end up in four position,

00:53:12unless something dramatic happens to it.

00:53:14But for Darren Turner taking off his Balaclava,

00:53:18and particularly his, you know,

00:53:20for the whole of the goal pass from the team,

00:53:23they're really, really disappointed.

00:53:25There's no other sport.

00:53:27Crushing.

00:53:28And ironically, those guys in the Pacifica,

00:53:32and the American, of course, from the UK,

00:53:37they've had all sorts of problems in this race,

00:53:40but they have kept it going.

00:53:41And with the pace they're going,

00:53:43they're probably just about the complete,

00:53:45the same sort of distance that the 009 car has already done.

00:53:49But with the global regulations,

00:53:51if you're not going to finish, you're not even classified,

00:53:54which I've always thought,

00:53:55which I've always thought,

00:53:56is absolutely a ridiculous regulation.

00:53:57Wow.

00:53:58You're not a finisher.

00:53:59It's a list of classified finisher, isn't it?

00:54:02No, I can agree that it doesn't give you,

00:54:05it doesn't give you due respect,

00:54:08if you put in, but then,

00:54:10and what often doesn't.

00:54:12So, I just don't think you want a fire moment off air there.

00:54:17I think we always have a fire moment as well.

00:54:21It indicates it to me,

00:54:22there's our GT2,

00:54:24my blue,

00:54:25it's a Porsche,

00:54:26it's a 77,

00:54:28it's a prototype Porsche.

00:54:30And I have to say,

00:54:31you know,

00:54:32of all the times to be in the one lane,

00:54:34I always used to hate this time,

00:54:36going up to people and having to

00:54:38interview them all,

00:54:40intrude on their disappointments,

00:54:43and their heartbreak.

00:54:44It's actually a short straw today,

00:54:46and he's down with Darren Turner.

00:54:50Darren Turner,

00:54:51we just saw your car stopping at the side of the drag,

00:54:53do you already know what happened exactly?

00:54:55No,

00:54:56I haven't spoken to the team yet,

00:54:58obviously,

00:54:59I'm in the garage,

00:55:00but I need to go and speak to the engineers behind there,

00:55:02to see what's happening.

00:55:03It looks from what we can see on the telly

00:55:05that it's an engine drama.

00:55:07It's just,

00:55:08it's all possible,

00:55:09we've done three hours,

00:55:10and now we get so far,

00:55:12and this is looking good for a,

00:55:14you know,

00:55:15top four finish for the car,

00:55:16and, you know,

00:55:17considering what the preparation has been for this year,

00:55:20for the mine,

00:55:21it's been very low key,

00:55:22it was a very good time,

00:55:24but obviously that's just how it's gone,

00:55:25and, you know,

00:55:26we have to come back and try next year.

00:55:28When you put it in perspective,

00:55:29with all the trouble the other guy had as well,

00:55:31it was a very tough weekend for the,

00:55:33the,

00:55:34the,

00:55:35the,

00:55:36the,

00:55:37the,

00:55:38and we've been running absolutely clean the whole way through the race,

00:55:40no dramas,

00:55:41except for,

00:55:42you know,

00:55:43we've had to be careful,

00:55:44we've had to just take the engine back a little bit,

00:55:46but that started very early in the race,

00:55:48well,

00:55:49I'm not sure that would be,

00:55:50you know,

00:55:51what it counts is for,

00:55:52what it happened is now on the surface,

00:55:53but,

00:55:54you know,

00:55:55we,

00:55:56we ran very reliable here last year,

00:55:57and nothing to change,

00:55:58it's just one of those things afterwards,

00:56:00man.

00:56:01What do you think about,

00:56:02do you think you look already about next year,

00:56:04with the two of them,

00:56:05at the end,

00:56:06at the end,

00:56:07at the end,

00:56:08at the end,

00:56:09at the end,

00:56:10at the end,

00:56:11at the end,

00:56:12right now,

00:56:13I'm just feeling a bit,

00:56:14down and deflated,

00:56:15you know,

00:56:16the rest of the guys have worked so hard there,

00:56:17as we're all doing a job on the circuit,

00:56:19you know,

00:56:20it needs to go away,

00:56:21and have a,

00:56:22a day or two,

00:56:23just to get,

00:56:24a result of that taken away,

00:56:25but,

00:56:26I'm sure we're coming back next year,

00:56:27and,

00:56:28hopefully that,

00:56:29the regulations will be a bit closer,

00:56:30and we can find the,

00:56:31the teams will come.

00:56:32Thank you very much.

00:56:33Cheers, thanks.

00:56:36You know Liz,

00:56:37I often wonder,

00:56:38what makes you more of a team,

00:56:40or feel more of a team,

00:56:41when you've won something,

00:56:42and,

00:56:43you know,

00:56:44thinking of the striker team,

00:56:45or like that with Aston Martin,

00:56:46when you're all,

00:56:47in the depths,

00:56:48whether,

00:56:49you know,

00:56:50the,

00:56:51whether the team's spirit is,

00:56:52is even stronger than,

00:56:53than it would be,

00:56:54if they'd managed to get out in the fourth place,

00:56:55I'm,

00:56:56I'm not really sure,

00:56:57but,

00:56:58you know,

00:56:59there's no question,

00:57:00every single one of them,

00:57:01it's really exactly the same.

00:57:02Well,

00:57:03I think the team's been through so much,

00:57:04they've been through almost 24 hours,

00:57:06I can't think of anything more,

00:57:07to be completely honest with you,

00:57:08than,

00:57:09than having everything go so smoothly,

00:57:10and having it on,

00:57:12false pieces this close to the end,

00:57:14we're just after the inconsolable,

00:57:15but,

00:57:16we're just gonna go to a quick break,

00:57:17we will be back with you,

00:57:19right after these messages.

00:57:23Well,

00:57:24welcome back live to the one,

00:57:25lucky here,

00:57:26and the car that lies in,

00:57:27third place in,

00:57:28the LMP2 category,

00:57:30Ray Malik bringing his,

00:57:32low coupe back again,

00:57:34this year,

00:57:35but,

00:57:36with a change of engine,

00:57:37from the AER turbo motor,

00:57:38to the HPD,

00:57:39on the performance development engine,

00:57:41and that seems to have really transformed,

00:57:43well,

00:57:44what do you come,

00:57:45this is so,

00:57:46you have pictures,

00:57:47lots of little needles,

00:57:48and the times you get rabid,

00:57:50and the little,

00:57:51so,

00:57:52well,

00:57:53certainly,

00:57:54I know my co-driver,

00:57:55hit a groundhog once,

00:57:56did a lot of damage,

00:57:57it was very expensive,

00:57:58it was a big sturdy groundhog,

00:57:59didn't you happen to hit it every lap?

00:58:01No,

00:58:02I think he pretty much obliterated every lap,

00:58:04I see,

00:58:05I don't recommend it,

00:58:06not nice.

00:58:07No,

00:58:08so the IML team,

00:58:09on for another podium,

00:58:10has been very successful,

00:58:12in the LMP2,

00:58:13the LMP2,

00:58:14the LMP2,

00:58:15second,

00:58:16the junction,

00:58:17the junction,

00:58:18the junction,

00:58:19the junction,

00:58:20and again,

00:58:21change of engine,

00:58:22lots more away from the master engine,

00:58:23for that team,

00:58:24has,

00:58:25changed their fortunes around,

00:58:26very quick,

00:58:27those three young guys,

00:58:28had a couple of problems,

00:58:29but all of them had,

00:58:30I mean,

00:58:31consistently,

00:58:32and,

00:58:33and,

00:58:34the class leader,

00:58:35is still,

00:58:36and,

00:58:37driving it,

00:58:39the other two,

00:58:4072,

00:58:4172,

00:58:42second place,

00:58:43to try to,

00:58:44the,

00:58:45the,

00:58:46the procladdy team as well,

00:58:47they have been coming here,

00:58:48for a number of years,

00:58:49the procladdy team,

00:58:50and they seem to have run into,

00:58:51all sorts of problems,

00:58:52over the years,

00:58:53over the years,

00:58:54and they have gradually,

00:58:56well,

00:58:57I suppose,

00:58:58everybody does work hard,

00:58:59to eliminate the problems,

00:59:00work hard,

00:59:01to eliminate the human error,

00:59:02work hard with the car,

00:59:03to get it stronger,

00:59:04and stronger,

00:59:05and this is,

00:59:06this is properly,

00:59:07a sort of privateer entry,

00:59:09isn't it,

00:59:10Karim AJ,

00:59:11Tim Bruce,

00:59:12and Gary Challendon,

00:59:13in a,

00:59:14in a,

00:59:15in a,

00:59:16in a team,

00:59:17they're,

00:59:18Janetta Zytek,

00:59:19and,

00:59:20we know,

00:59:21Lawrence Thompson,

00:59:25you know,

00:59:26come over here,

00:59:27looking at three,

00:59:28a good black car,

00:59:29has been very much,

00:59:30under the red car,

00:59:31and has stayed that way,

00:59:32and that's,

00:59:33in some ways,

00:59:34this is,

00:59:36yeah?

00:59:37Oh right,

00:59:40No!

00:59:41Thank the Lord!

00:59:42We've seen them a few times,

00:59:43but generally,

00:59:44there's fast bit of warm up,

00:59:45they've repaired the car,

00:59:46after that,

00:59:47they've never reached to them,

00:59:48last night,

00:59:49at sunset,

00:59:50they've solved it now,

00:59:51they've never got it up,

00:59:52they've,

00:59:53they've,

00:59:54turned it in,

00:59:55I think,

00:59:56they've turned it over,

00:59:57sort of,

00:59:58consistent pace,

00:59:59whatever that capital is,

01:00:00and they're gonna end up,
