The traffic is part of le Mans for me. The track is often a lot less busy close to midnight so fast time are definitely possible

I wish someone could convince the cameramen to work on a Wednesday evening.

ByKolles stopped on track apparently. Graff have had an incident too. Ford had an incident in pit lane. One of the JC DC cars has the engine cover off. 47 Dallara still not recovered.

Graff off at Mulsanne.

I believe there's pretty much full live camera coverage at night during the race

Yeah. That's a relatively recent change. Still haven't managed to get Wednesday and Thursday night coverage between Tertre Rouge and Porsche Curves.

Yeah true, that would be best. But slowly getting better over the years so hopefully sometime in the future

airbusA346 · 14 Jun 2017, 20:53 (Ref:3741404)

Porsche now focusing on the race.

#27 has had a fire.

And tomorrow for second qualifying according to Eurosport just now.

Seems impossible for RLM to be quiet when team radio is on.

Akrapovic · 14 Jun 2017, 20:57 (Ref:3741410)

SMP Dallara down at Mulsanne post fire, being lifted onto a flatbed.

Because they aren't getting the onscreen graphic visual cues on the screen like they would if they were doing the TV broadcast.

How come media don't get the tv feed? Sounds bizarre.

They've got something but they were saying earlier they don't have the full TV feed. They try and shut up when a radio comes on and they hear it but usually they're missing it. The other option is they turn down the circuit sounds, but they did that for 10 seconds to show how bad it was and turned it back up.

Unfortunately the coverage is a bit of a hodge podge this year.

5 Hour conference call over and it's 5:00 somewhere and here! Bring on nothing but qualifying and Belgian Style Abby ales for the next hour.

Wonder if Ford are still carrying some sand.

Regardless, Ford AND GM are not showing well, ATM.

Yeah I don't buy that Ford are 4 seconds slower than last year. They're after the BoP break.

If they are it's being flung on them as it leaves the Astons.
