Sounds like the #7 Pug may be totaled-Gene is receiving medical attention at the scene, so it must've been a massive off. Hopefully he's not seriously hurt-it seems the Pug broke a concrete wall!

And what's with the #2 Audi? We're and hour into the session, and they may be the only one's to challenge Sarazin before the rain comes.

**Bentley03** · 1 Jun 2008, 13:01 (Ref:2216693)

What's the situation with Gene? Can't listen to RLM here in the office, but Endurance-Info implying that he had a massive impact. Hope he's ok!

What's happening with the #6 Oreca?
It was amazing at Spa but is now in down in 21.

Gearbox problems, we now hear.

brielga · 1 Jun 2008, 13:02 (Ref:2216698)

seems that the Gené off was pretty heavy and he damaged even the wall... the Krohn Ferrari heavily damaged as well, my colleague saw it and says it looks half a meter shorter

It just occurs that its been pedalled faster so far than THREE other LMP1 cars........

There ya go Ayse ..... maybe a Krohn Fiat will be gone , or a Pug if they havent a spare tub .

If they do , they will surley be able to swap chassis .

Hope Gene is ok , doesnt sound like something he would do , possibily something broke ?

The PDFs on the ACO site list the number of laps completed:

**Aysedasi** · 1 Jun 2008, 13:11 (Ref:2216713)

True, but that's for the first session today - I was hoping for a running total alongside the (supposedly) live timing.....

That's what i saw in the listings for Eurosport UK and Eurosport 2 UK

Oh well, WTCC@Pau later tonight.....

I would be very surprised if Peugeot hadn't built three new cars for this year and at least two, probably three for last year. Spare-tub should be no problem for them.

brielga · 1 Jun 2008, 13:12 (Ref:2216717)

forget about the 7 Peugeot for the rest of the day... it's totalled

I don't think they're limited, chassis-wise at this stage., Different (supposedly) between official practice and race.

Not likely with Ferrari not too far from France and Krohn's wallet. PWL got a new car and had it together in a WEEK before Long Beach and finished the race last year.

Heavy rain now - looks like that its effectively it for the day......

Any word on Gene ?

Whose the Pug reserve driver ...... Beltoise ?

**Aysedasi** · 1 Jun 2008, 13:18 (Ref:2216727)

Hindy has just said there are no TV cameras there today - no wonder the information available is so limited.......

kdr · 1 Jun 2008, 13:20 (Ref:2216735)

Picture 2 of an Aston on the endurance info site might be of some interest to you Ayse, i know you don't like new architecture at Le Mans, but maybe you'll Welcome this one..

The Badger · 1 Jun 2008, 13:30 (Ref:2216745)

Hope the rain clears up for the last half hour , we might get some fireworks then .

that's wishful thinking, like hoping for a Porsche GT2 victory...

Or not, as the case may be - they're now saying it could stop in 20 minutes.........
