I know, Grid was actually pretty fun to play. Yeah, it has awesome graphics and damage. Actually not true, you could patch SCGT to do the 24 hours of Le Mans and you could do the whole 24 in GTR2.

Yeah, that is what I heard, too. It would be nice to see a Porsche Coupe in LMP1... dominate another 10 years lol. I didn't know that this was Corvettes first pole at Le Mans.

GTR2 is the best, needs a good graphics card. No, Group B I downloaded the Grid demo, not very realistic.

how bout some thing a bit more abnormal...

Like I said a Scary looking beast! It's a whatchamacallit.

Still no word on the University Courage, it technically failed to qualify under the rules.

I am excited. I even set up Le Man in GTR2 and did a 4.23:320 in a Flying Lizard LOL first lap out (actually a Anderstorp Porsche GT3 RSR). I like the old track better, but .... Here is what it looks like oout of MoTeC.

Yes, it's an off-shoot of Radio ALMS and you can pick it up off their site.

Sounds like you been in the hobby shop work WAY too long. Maybe it's time for a break? Next you be finding some kind of tumor that turns out to be only putty. Ya might stay away from red paint for a while, too.

Yeah I use photobucket too, and you just click on IMG CODE and past it in the post. I suspect that Fotki has a similar thing but used the he used the HTML editor to insert photo. I looked at the code and has some experience with HTML, and his "code" is all jacked up because there is a URL tag inside a IMG tag and is missing the front close bracket and rear open bracket. It does work Dave, I think, just out smarted himself.

Looks like it was posted or pasted incorrectly and is missing some brackets.

Funny guys.... "...Technically the Tokia University Courage will not qualify becaue it doesn't have a fast enough lap. Because it's pooh...." (silence) "No. I said poor..." oh dear.... Evening session to start soon.

###### Lizards have a .500+ sec lead, and have moved into first. go ya ###### lizards, go.

Yikes #44 flips 8 times in the Dunlop chicane. Red Flag/Checkered flag. 1st night qualifying is over/early.

LMP1 the Peugeots are on top of the world. 1-3 with the next fastest Audi 4.9 seconds behind. LMP2 the two Porsche RS Spyders traded fast laps. LMGT1 Likewise with the Corvettes. The Astons struggled a bit. LMGT2 Matmut Porsche, ###### Flying Lizards, Virgo MS Ferrari 430. The Porsche showing this year is on the skinny side. Only 3 and are way out numbered by Ferrari. Other notes #7 Peugeot breaks the lap record 3.18:513 #44 Lola Mazda clutch went out. #26 Radical SR9 had injector problems and was out for 40 mins First Night qualifying is on the way. Romain Dumas crash the Pescarolo Judd and has significant damage. From an oil down by a Austin. # 6 Peugeot hits a small critter down the Mulsanne - minor damage. # 44 more troubles for the Lola Mazda, suspected gearbox problem. # 3 Audi spins and makes contact with teh #32 Zytek.

Sure is a scary looking beast.

we car strike Nicks off the list. Yeah, but they were not the only ones who tried. a nameless Cosworth 4WD F1 car, but dubbed the ugliest car in F1.

I concur, there are literally dozens upon dozens of coachbuilders in the 10's and 20's and many of them look very similar. Anyone who was a horse and carriage builder just started to build coach works for whatever chassis the could get there hands on just to try and stay in business. it looks a little like a McLaughlin, Paige and a Zeber 2.0; I am sure it's some sort of esoteric car.

ya got it!

nope, seriously guys I didn't think this one was going to be that hard. It's not a Humber, and it's not Russian. It was a production car and not a prototype of any kind. It does have a little hint in the body of the car the company is most well known for.

#30 Racing Box Srl Lucchini Judd fails scrutineering and withdraws. Qualifying starts tomorrow night

Here is a few more First 24 hrs of du Mans race 1923, but had been host to endurance testing cars since 1894. It could be considered the birthplace of auto racing.

He is a good driver, just not a world champion driver. Alonso did he more favors last year then probably anyone else has done for anyone else in Formula One. The driver sets up his or her, yes there has been a few women in F1, car. He doesn't really know how to set up the car. Alonso is a master at the technical and mechanical part of setting up a F1 car. Why do you think Renualt has come so far in a short time. Why do you think Hamilton fell off after the friction started between them (Hamilton and Alonso)? I am not sure who is helping Hamilton now, he is getting better but the first few races you could tell just by watching the car it wasn't set up well - there shouldn't be any reason for a front wheel to pick up off the ground in a F1 car. Hamiltion's car did and just not in one race. His team mates car didn't do this, nobody eles's car in the field had this problem. I am still not sure why Hamilton is so fast at times. I don't think he is particularly a better driver than anyone else, and their car, the MP4-23, might as well be a Ferrari 659 AKA F2008.
