That was a crazy pass attempt by McNish - there clearly wasn't room for him. In an ideal world the Ferrari would have moved over for him, but he came up so fast that I don't know that the Ferrari driver saw him coming. Glad everybody's OK.

I read on autoblog the Ferrari driver said the LMP cars are so fast that even if you do check behind you one second and start moving chances are the car will still have plenty of time to move in to the spot you wanted.

Bad decision to try that pass with 23 hours remaining IMO, if this lets Peugot go ahead I will be pissed.

The heck is going on with Audi?

The just lost a 2nd R18 after it collided with another Ferrari.

1 more to go...

Holy shit! I can't believe nobody was hurt or killed. All of those people better go buy lotto tickets! Amazing.

Shit. The R18 is a beautiful machine, these accidents are a shame, but traffic is a fact of Le Mans.

On the upside, #74 Vette is leading in GT, but #2 Audi is ahead by only a lap.

 

[RiDE]

You have to wonder what would've happened if the R18 was still open cockpit.

[disappoint]

Terrible pass attempt.
Even I know not to do that.
If only that driver had practiced in GT5 like I have.

 

[LTC8K6]

The McNish crash was from a bad pass attempt by McNish.

The Rockenfeller crash was an idiotic Ferrari driver's fault entirely. Nothing to do with the pass.

looks like the other car's fault

It's amazing that it didn't continue over the fence.

I hate the R18. It's such a passionless car...

Hopefully Audi will lose.

Yeah, that was kind of funny. But it was amazing how fast that tire flies around there before it ricochets against the tire wall and rolls towards the camera guy. It was incredibly lucky that didn't kill anyone.

You want a car to lose because it lacks passion? :hmm:

 

[LOL_Wut_Axel]

Yes. It's the most bland racing car I have ever seen, in every sense of the word.

 

[sdifox]

Yes. It's the most bland racing car I have ever seen, in every sense of the word.

so what is your criteria for a passionate race car? I mean, other than winning races?

 

[Bignate603]

Yes. It's the most bland racing car I have ever seen, in every sense of the word.

"Passion" and "soul" matter for your own car, for a race car it doesn't. Its purpose is not to be attractive, it is to go faster than the other guy.
