The 'live' timing is crap!!!! Its about 10 minutes behind the race, and there are no gaps or anything, just laptimes and positions. The ALMS internet timing and scoring is really high quality. They should have got them to do it. Radio is ok but keeps cutting out. I should be there!

Saw it on Eurosport - slammed into a side wall and back nearside wheel virtually hanging off! Coverage has finished for next hour but doesn't look promising. Damn!

Car had been 'tapped' earlier according to the radio. He is trying to 'limp' back apparently but it's painfully slow.

False alarm.

Car had pitted.

It's OK ted! Rich was in the Car. Rob is still to be respected!

They have introduced a "Gap" colomn on live timing now, not that it works yet!

#91 TVR is still at the Porsche curves. Rob Barff said they've sent a guy donw there to help Richard Stanton out. Marc Goosens just had a rear suspension failure AND a puncture on the Riley & Scott. Just got back to the pits

DJ - where's your info coming from? I'm not too impressed with the Eurosport coverage - its boring watching those two Bentleys at the front. I need more TVR action.

Really hope they get #91 back on its wheels ASAP. Its disappointing already - and Mr Caine had a spin!

Radio Le Mans. Think Ted put a link up as the first post in this thread. I had an uninterupted 45 minutes now #8 Bentley just made an unscheduled stop, but they didn't do anything to it. Just came in, stopped and went out again. Dropped it to fifth
