Currently raining at the circuit. Very very light but it's there. Not enough to wet the track yet.

16:00 Toyota confirmed earlier that it was a driveline failure that caused Sebastien Buemi to stop. All is fixed and fine now.

This was already explained by Eurosport(UK) commentators, yesterday.

They said, just like Monaco, after practices and qualifying, the streets are public again and normal traffic have free access. They didn't install the HD cameras, cables and etc on places where it's open again after the sessions. Only on "closed parts" of the circuit that they already fitted the professional cameras.
The cameras are all setup all round the track, You can see them from the Onboard's, They all have blue covers thrown over them.
You can even see the crane with the high shot at Mulsanne setup with cables running down from it.


The commentators give the same reason for why we don't have coverage through the night (Cameras packed away), Yet we often get footage from them if they catch something (Mike Rockenfeller crash in 2011 for instance).

Track declared wet. It's really not at the moment though.

The camera for Rocky's incident was a closed circuit camera...basically a traffic camera that was in the area, not a broadcast one.

The camera which filmed the damaged barrier was a CCTV camera, yes. But the one that captured the incident wasn't, that was a TV camera.

They used a CCTV camera to show the aftermath but the one that kinda caught the crash was the TV camera.

Is anybody else listening to Radio Le Mans? Is the broadcast randomly cutting out for tiny intervals for you, or is this an issue I'm experiencing on my end?

It was a locked off camera, pure luck it was pointing in the right direction.

The TDS Oreca (red flag causer yesterday) will not drive tonight. A new ORECA tub is arriving this evening as the crashed one was totaled (230kmh impact) They hope to get it ready for the warmup on Sat. Ludovic Badey has been given clearance to enter the race despite not being able to drive

I recall Jo Gartner's fatal accident during the 1986 race and the Armco was demolished for about a hundred metres or just less. It tooks hours under the safety car to clear up the debris under the dark and to fix the Armco.

So that's true about Le Mans never had a red flag period before.
