Cocking hell, more bad luck for #7

[airbusA346]

Slow Zone incoming

[732NM]

That's a st ton of water on that radar.

Could the #6 Porsche nip this at the end?

Brundle is just as bad, but he drones constantly.

No pleasing some people. I find Brundle is exceptionally good, possessing the same reserved frugality of words as his father.

Mind you, earlier in the thread you did agree that you preferred 1950's commentary when only a few terse sentences were said in clipped Received English every few minutes.

Slow zone to guarantee the 50 victory.

Hello...

Is it a yellow you are looking for?

I chuckled more than I should

(More white wine, Mrs. Wembley?)

Ferrrari GT3 driver needs to milk this just a little bit longer…

Feels unlikely barring incidents. Just hasn’t quite had the pace here that it’s had at other circuits.

Too bloody right, silence is golden.

Toyota 8 will gamble here.

This is incredible. I can't even sit still, and we've Ben going for 23 and a half hours.

Sadly that is not the way of modern commentary.

Ambient sound mode is your friend.

[Speed Badger]

I believe this is now officially 'squeaky bum time.'

#99 Proton Porsche has rejoined the race.

I'll survive the next 23 minutes, just in case i miss something. Ambient was nice last night, i nodded off.

Idiots screeching about the 8 putting on new tyres, when it was just its routine final stop

The Ferrari left the pits at 100% with 50mins to go. They hit 50% with 24minutes to go, so they might just make this depending on where they are on the track come 4pm

JML taking time out of Nielsen, at least when he's not overcooking it into Mulsanne...

Might still not be enough unless the Ferrari team have cocked up their fuel calculations.

I was thinking the same thing. They could also afford to do the last lap 30s slower to run the clock down.

It's an easy win for 50 now.
