#8 retired.

airbusA346 · 16 May 2015, 19:34 (Ref:3538235)

Is #10 retired?

Simmi · 16 May 2015, 19:36 (Ref:3538236)

Not a good time for Mercedes. #2, #8, #17 all could have put together competitive runs. Two of them are out, the other is still struggling to get back.

Apparently the #85 Bentley should also be back out soon.

J Jay · 16 May 2015, 19:39 (Ref:3538241)

Quite a long pit stop for the #26 MvDS BMW, pit crew checking out the wheel wells and discs. Seems a bit early for a disc & pad change.

Simmi · 16 May 2015, 19:52 (Ref:3538248)

In answer to my own question from earlier the #20 is now retired. They got it back out for an exploratory lap but there is too much damage.

airbusA346 · 16 May 2015, 19:52 (Ref:3538249)

#20 retired.

J Jay · 16 May 2015, 19:59 (Ref:3538254)

Second violation for the remaining SCG003 sees it slapped with a 3:30 penalty at the next stop, which will firmly put it off the lead lap.

Simmi · 16 May 2015, 20:03 (Ref:3538256)

First time in the race we've had the same car leading at the end of two consecutive hours. #1 car starting to impose its will.

What was the violation?

J Jay · 16 May 2015, 20:06 (Ref:3538258)

Big accident on the Nordschleife involving at least the #54 Lexus, an Aston, a Porsche, a GT86 (?), a BMW. Fire vehicles are on scene.

Can't tell you what the first infringement was for, but this one was definitely for a slow zone violation.

airbusA346 · 16 May 2015, 20:10 (Ref:3538260)

What stream are RLM watching?

Rodger Davies · 16 May 2015, 20:10 (Ref:3538261)

Really nasty accident out there somewhere, an E92 and 991 involved at least. The BMW and Lexus just came past me crawling at Metzgesfeld.

My guess is that they have access to most feeds all the time but just not all of those are being broadcast

They've got access to onboards that we haven't, or rather they have permanent access to them (we only see them sometimes on the Vodafone stream).

Rodger, anymore information about the cars involved? It looks like we're talking about the same accident.

It sounds like the GetSpeed/Vodaphone stream, but they are describing stuff that isn't been shown.

Rodger Davies · 16 May 2015, 20:16 (Ref:3538266)

The big accident was at Adenauer-Forst apparently, looks bad.

Apparently there is an ambulance on the way to the incident at Fuchsröhre according to Twitter.

No, they haven't mentioned anything else. Only the Lexus and a light-less E92 BMW came past me. Ambulance has literally just gone past, not sure if it had someone in the back.

The ambulance has been and is leaving the track down in Ex-Muhle.

Im surprised it took RLM so long to talk Darren Cox

They are 100% right about the LMP2 regs.

Rodger Davies · 16 May 2015, 20:28 (Ref:3538274)

#304 235i on back of a flatbed, think it may have been the car with the fire crew.

Cox needs a smoke curtain to hide GT-R GT3 performance at the Ring.

airbusA346 · 16 May 2015, 20:32 (Ref:3538278)

The reason the wheel fell of #2 was because it was hit by an Audi.

Kevin Ernst ‏@KevOne217 56s
Driver of the #304 to the Hospital #N24h

J Jay · 16 May 2015, 20:38 (Ref:3538287)

Damn. Here's to hoping that everything is okay with the driver of the #304
