Le Mans coverage

[iwilson]

Am I right in assuming there is none on the box

Found an alternative here http://stream.rtl.nl/lemans24 but you need a healthy internet connection to watch. Excellent quality though (live streaming vid).

May as well add a few other links.

There's also Radio Le Mans www.radiolemans.com/

Team Flying Lizard are broadcasting their pit radio live www.lizardms.com/radio.htm

Team Racing for Holland are broadcasting live telemetry which is pretty cool www.racingforholland.com/ click the Live from Circuit Le Mans once you enter the site.

Doesn't even normally make the Sports News unless someone flies off into the trees

I do recall a few years ago we got a 45min highlights package about 3 weeks later.

To be honest I gave up hoping for coverage about the time the 956's retired

Well at this part of the world anyway.... listened to it last night until I went to bed.... GUTTED the 009 Aston ran into troubles... was running a very solid 4th at last recall, first in LMGT1, finished 10th overall in the end.

TV1 showed it i think last year and the year before, hopefully they'll do it again.

What about our guys result at the 24hrs of Nurburgring - 69th overall and the Group N trophy on their first attempt - bloody brilliant.

A mate of mine is over there and doing another 24-hour race somewhere (Spa ??) before coming back. Very keen to hear how it went from the horse's mouth.

From the little coverage I've seen (or in this case heard) I'm struggling with the total 'effect' of the R10's . . . the sound just ain't right.

Maybe it will grow on me?

Top result at the Nurburgring! One of the support crew posts on NZ Hondas and posted loads of pics plus a short vid. Thread here

Nice little vid here

Damn, and I spent the afternoon under the Elise installing new toe links.... aah well, at least that's done now, might actually be able to DRIVE the Elise for once... wonders will never cease :P

[Kiwi XTR2]

Happy to help

You can even blame me if the otherhalf gives you strife

I would imagine your toe settings are now rather interesting When I did mind I quickly discovered the human eye is not capable of resolving toe angles in mm, as the car quickly adopted a crab like angle when I drove it.

Mine was already doing that anyway every couple of months as the old toelinks gradually worked their way looser and looser.... put the foot down and the car LITERALLY steered on the throttle :P

Will be getting it Geo'd this coming week.... if you have any hot geo tips for an otherwise fairly standard S1 on semi-sticky rubber then I'd like to hear it... I'm leaning towards a blend of the Standard S1, 340R Road and 340R Dry settings, but yet to work out what elements of each.
