Look at the lap times under the SC, lol.

One is doing 7:40, the other 6:50. Not suggesting this one is on purpose, but it's an amazingly broken system.

It feels like mid afternoon. I could use a shot, though.

Could that possibly be that the cars did not catch the safety car, and are racing up to the back of the queue?

Like for example say the safety car comes out at the 3 points of the track. But a guy is 1 minutes 30 seconds behind the safety car, ahead of the safety car behind them, but has to go at a decent clip to catch the end of the queue?

Thats what I've attributed it to.

It's an entire group that's doing it, so nope. I thought that too, but there are too many cars doing it so it can't be.

Audi recognised this was happening and took the opportunity to pit and move the Audi to the faster SC.

Well if that is indeed happening, it shouldn't.

Look I want Peugeot to win, but I want them to win in a straight fight.

Peugeot were behind that SC too, so this time I'm NOT suggesting it was unfair play by the ACO (Radio Le Mans however, is), but it was a perfect demonstration of what I meant.

Either way, we're racing. And an Audi almost hit a Ferrari on the restart. 8O

So the #9 and the #2 both pitted right?

If so that was smart on Peugeot's part, to split strategies.

Okay, that's cool. You and I both agree that we want a fair fight through the 24 Hours. I don't want anyone to have an unfair advantage.

The only thing we disagree on, is who we are rooting for to win.
