Hugh Chamberlin sounds like he doesn’t know what’s going on, shame.

Car 38 looked like something flung from the wheel before it let go

It looked like part of the tyre to me.

Probably a chunk of rubber coming off, my suspicion (given i was there in 2012 working on tyres) was a bit too much camber and / or low pressure.

Seems one of the Ford GT's is broken, toe link at the rear making the handling not quite so fun.

66 car with broken suspension?

If you have Amazon Prime, there is a free 7 day trial of the Eurosport channel. Just remember to cancel it after!

I think that tyre just de-laminated. Bet that was scary for the driver!

Radio Le Mans reckon the Ford GT broke a track control arm, which would tie in with its funny angle when driving. Hopefully it is a quick fix for them.

Yep, that's what I'm doing. I've got Eurosport 1 on the TV so the wife can see bits when she wants, Eurosport uninterupted feed on my tablet next to me, and listening to radio Le Mans.

I'll cancel the Eurosport subscription after the weekend

I won't lie, me too. Just awoke for the Bykolles crash.

That shunt looked nasty. Car looks pretty damaged, I hope the driver is OK.

Under this safety car can Button begin to unlap himself like F1?

[Dinoboy]

Safety car gets the ads out of the way at least.

No. There are three Safety Cars, running a third of a lap apart.

And he's 48 laps down.
