just like monaco and indy this race coverage is amateuristic. How can they miss that crash? Put more than 1 camera in each corner ffs! I think they only have 15 camera's each year for such a long track, pathetic.

Dumas blames lack of yellow flags and a badly recovering Aston Martin for the accident.

#60 Aston Martin has subframe damage, but no structural damage. Should be fine.

And half of them are shut down and the director is sipping le wine instead of directing.

Strakka on provisional LMP2 pole with a 3:42.615. The bad news is that Nick crashed at Turn 1. He's okay, but the car's damaged

They have ~25 track cameras. But I have to agree: the greatest race on earth has the worst TV coverage.

I hope this is one area where the bar has to be raised next year with the WEC... compare: FIA GT coverage 2009 vs. 2010, altough that was much better to begin with.

Eurosport UK will miss the first HOUR of this session. 30 minutes of bikes, then 30 minutes if the terrible interview show, before the last hour of this session.

Really baffles me why they'd show interviews over live track action. That's eurosport for you I guess.

What are the exact qualy rules? Everyone needs to do 3 laps in dark conditions. Does the same apply for light?

No fluid leaking from the Lotus, but it's not tyre smoke.

Edit: Nevermind, its covered in oil.
