Go MATECH GO:banana

 

[Mullet]

70 gt has crashed out

 

[1418]

the gray/yellow GT.......is that a Matech?

VDS team-- what a shame-- it is a matech designed car

 

[THamonGT]

#70 GT in pits for repair

 

[KJRGT]

What a bummer for #70. However, the car still made it to the pits!

I guess we could say it is certainly BUILT FORD TOUGH!

 

[Mullet]

I'd be surprised if the 70 came back into the race. Signifigant damage

 

[THamonGT]

What a sad sad picture of the #70 GT entering the garage for repairs. Tough repairs. Here's hoping the Matech team takes it easy and safe. no hot doging. Still very early in the race. Tomy

 

[GTMikey]

I can't believe that thing was driveable, unreal...... Entire frame is bent to all hell.

The amazing thing is to see the Belgian GT, broken, finished, now just a collection of loose parts, pull it together and actually limp back to the pits. What incredible heart.

I Honor of LeMans I got the new plates on the car this morning and went for a coffee run:

 

[Mullet]

I'm a little disappointed Speed is not showing the GT's as much as they should.

 

[KJRGT]

I'm a little disappointed Speed is not showing the GT's as much as they should.

Is it SPEED's feed or is it the official race feed?

 

[Cobrar]

I'm seeing plenty of the Ford GT's in screen shots in/around the Audi LMP1's, although they rarely mention the FGT, or GT1 class at all. Send Speed an e-mail, I did ,it is a 24 hour race. They'll figure out that there are four classes eventually.

 

[GTMikey]

I have to imagine the GT's have on board cameras we can watch at a later date. I hope so....

 

[GTMikey]

OK, I found a real time leaderboard on the Official Lemans Site. Click on the Gt1 column to follow the GT's:

Go Matech!

Speed's race coverage stinks but at least they are broadcasting the race instead of Pinks. Yuck.

 

[ObeyMyFast!]

Whats the deal with the #70 GT in the pits? Or maybe it crashed out? I thought they only had 60 and 61... :confused

 

[Kayvan]

TV5 i am sure is broadcasting if you drill down into your French cable channels...

Though Pinks is true shlock!

Good shot of our 61 car in pits and a little story of the "girl" team for 61. Saw Natacha was back in race after an electrical glitch. It's streaming live on Speed.com for those interested in catching what is current running order, etc.
