Even though it was 1.) a real stupid move, and 2.) completely unnecessary. That's not something that's worth kudos at all.


Wanting someone to be crashed out of a 24 hours race just because you don't like the look of the car. Damn.

Things got really crowded in the Porsche Curves immediately following the restart, and I honestly think it's a racing deal. Donesn't anybody else think the whole situation could have been avoided by restarting that group by the s/f line instead?

P.S anyone know if the French Cameramen are sleeping yet?


Looks like they have started to go to sleep as we got a static camera shooting at the pits.

My main thought is that there wouldn't have been a problem if they hadn't put that ridiculous car on the track in the first place. It was a rolling roadblock ffs.

Seriously...I don't like the DeltaWing as well, yet that wasn't worth wanting it to wreck.

But where to put all of the safety cars, they need to go back to their dispatch posts but then I am sure there is a network of road in the middle of the 'Roundabout'.

Ahhhh just coming back to watch some Le Mans along with TBK! Only caught about an hour, 2 hours in.
Terrible accident earlier, just glad Anthony walked away.
But some great racing again at Le Mans :)

It went 190 MPH with only 300 horses. Suffice to say that it's pretty impressive with a power you'd expect from a luxury car.

I've grown to like the Delta Wing the more I've learned about it. I still think it was a ridiculous concept for a new Indy car, but it's perfect for Le Mans.

ITT people realising the Deltawing is drawing the line between the haters and the lovers...

Who'd have thought that when the thing was first announced over a year ago! :lol:

I'll clarify for my final comment on all this. I don't want to see anyone crash, I was just glad it was out. It could have gone out with mechanical failure and I would have been just as happy. So, sorry for my original post. I just dislike it, that's all. I won't push a massive argument, we can all just agree to disagree.

Yet ANOTHER puncture for the 35 Oak. Slow through Porsche Curves. RF I think.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.
