Good program, very detailed and showing quite some insights in the team...looking forward to the rest of the series!!!!

RussTypeS · 22 Nov 2005, 16:18 (Ref:1467577)

Did anyone get a chance to rip this? Torrent!

The series aired on Danish TV yesterday night, and I think that it's actually a very great show. It's giving some insight that you won't normaly know anything about, and wow, am I suprised how much trouble that stupid little anti-roll bar could cause. Looking forward to 11pm this evening...

Oh yes, and about the ripping question... yes, I got it, but, I won't be sharing as that would be against any copyright law. And besides, Discovery tend to air everything a million times. I've seen the same episode of "Mythbusters" 3 times since last Sunday now, so, who knows

Those multiple airings do wonders for us in the states where the show is not aired to begin with.

Ayse, the full 3 hours are shown on Sunday at 15.00 CET (14.00 GMT), I expect this to be repeated later on but at least you can tape the whole show, well worth it!!!

last 2 parts in germany today.
How much are the michelin tires? German discovery voice told about 1800? for four tires. Is that true? Or maybe 1800? for evry tire?

English Discovery also says 1800 euros per set of four.

ger80 · 5 Dec 2005, 18:55 (Ref:1477598)

well, and someone of a racecar manufactoring company told about 7000? for a set of four. Hm, and why are teams driving other tires on a LMP1 if they are only 1800?? think some people here use more expensive tires on there street car

**FIRE** · 5 Dec 2005, 19:00 (Ref:1477603)

I got the impression Wallace and Creation wasn't a happy combination.

ger80 · 5 Dec 2005, 21:26 (Ref:1477736)

yes fire, it got it too
something to laugh from german discovery "front runners" translated into "front wheel driven cars"

a same i coulnd watch it with english audio

See what you mean.

To be honest, I'd be more inclined to listen to Wallaces comments considering Creations reliability problems.

Was the switch to the Judd V8 in prepperation for the V10 Judd in 2006?

If not, it would seem to be an expensive sideways step at best!

They probably do but they also probably last more than an hour or two on the road!!

Creation's Reliability?? I think the programme over-egged it. Punctures, holed radiator, broken clip and a crash. Sounds more like bad luck than bad reliability...and they have finished every race since then with three podiums.

Regarding Wallace: He just needed more time in the car. The other two know it so well and he was at a disadvantage.

Judd? After three engine failures last year (Zytek), what would you do? Remember, the Zytek failed to finish in 2004 Le Mans. I can see why they changed.

Well, both Michelin tires.
Look @rollcentre, they want the judd engine too. Think the engine is very good, many little less power. Cannot compare the the Judd engines a few years ago

For anyone interested all three programmes from this are being shown again on discovery Turbo at 10.00am this morning

Thanks for the heads-up Mal
