Is it me or has a lot of stuff just crapped out? ALMSnotes on Twitter hasn't updated in forever, and T&S do list some cars as on track, though their lap counter isn't going up and is frozen.

Is there any alternate T&S sites?

Hey boys, maybe a silly question, but why have Rebellion Racing a Lotus colors? Did I miss out something? Because I have to admit I really don't know why, with a clear indication why. :-)

Two of the recent red flags involved R18's--Dagys tweeted that the #3 Audi and one of the Gulf Lolas were stalled on track and the #2 Audi left behind a rather large chunk of debris from an off somewhere:
https://twitter.com/#!/johndagys/med...c.com%2F8vhnk0 Thing is that they've by far run more laps in both sessions than anyone else has--the ironic bit of having one car stalled (likely after a spin) and one either rear-ending another car or trying to re-arrange a tire wall. And like LM, it seems that the "young guns" have had a largely trouble free run relative to their teammates. |

Anyone know if the 3 R18s are all the same colour?

Basically except for mirrors--#1 is red, #2 is yellow and #3 is black.
Hopefully Audi will have something better for Le Mans, as they have 4 cars and it's hard to tell which is which here unless you look at the car number. |

EI has pictures of the Black Swan Lola on track. Also according to T&S Starworks has turned a lap!

Same color scheme, only different accent color (red, yellow, black). See http://www.fourtitude.com/gallery/ga...di%20R18%20TDI

Black Swan just tweeted a pic of their car in the pit lane.
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...91638944199160 And now we learn the driving lineup as well. Bret Curtis and Jon Fogarty round out the lineup. |

The only thing that was shown with the #3 Audi in the press photo with the e-tron probably was the Sebring paint scheme--it was, after all, a 2011 car (2011 nose gives it a way).
We probably won't know for sure any more differences until April--and that's if Audi releases photos from the Paul Ricard 30 hour test like they did last year. I know that the #1 e-tron will have red highlights as pictured, and the #2 will probably be the same aside from yellow highlights. The current (Sebring) paint schemes are too much alike and hopefully if it's the basis for the LM Ultras, it'll be reversed or something--something more than just the engine intake leading edges and mirrors. Unlike in the past, the car numbers are more noticeable than markings. And Muscle Milk has finally bumped OAK a few minutes ago--still almost 2 seconds slower than the slowest Audi. And no more recent fast laps--it seems that everyone is just running out the clock. |

There has to be more pace to come, a P2 Hpd is faster than half the P1's! I know the Hpd P1's are capable of going more than 2 seconds faster than their P2 car.

Kind of disappointing liveries thanks for all the replies. Will have to keep my eyes peeled to pick them out.
Also good to see Muscle Milk getting nearer the pace. Really wish they'd believed a bit more and entered Le Mans. |

I don't know, the liveries are both rather dull.
"Stunning" is something I would reserve for stuff like the Troy Lee Lizard Porsche etc. |

Session over.
Audi 1-2-3, slowest Audi nearly 2 seconds clear of the Muscle Milk HPD and the #2 Audi ran most laps (88 in spite of the off) and is over 3 seconds clear of MM HPD. |

Well, Graf got within 1.8 seconds of the slowest Audi, and Jani in te Rebellion got within 2.3 seconds.

I hope so. But will Audi do the same? Unless they are at their maximum, the gap looks to be about the same. That is of course M-Milk can replicate the 1:48 they did in testing earlier last month.

Sebring Spotter Guide is live showing all 64 entries. Many of these liveries were done before this weekend, with thanks to many teams who supplied art or images ahead of time, so there might be a few small differences.
Any mistakes/changes, please email or PM me rather than filling this thread up You can download the guide form here. http://www.spotterguides.com/2012-almswec/ I plan on a small update Thursday(ish) for any major changes. |

In the past, teams have often struggled to match the winter test times during the 12 hours weekend. Track conditions are different and there is more traffic.
