Watched alot of this last night, was good, so much going on all the time.

Also the flashing lights are the faster moving cars to warn them from what I gather.

 

[r900smp]

Dont the cars headlights flash when they are behind the slower car to tell them to move over?

The lights in the windscreen were they neon blue/green/red etc and placed in different shapes? If so this might be so the car can be recognised at night by the cars team maybe? so they know when to out the laptime board out?

 

[Alex H]

If all goes to plan I'll be out marshalling this next year

 

[Curtis!]

Fastest 20 cars get the blue lights as far as I know, not sure about what number it is at le mans mind you

They flash headlights when behind a slower car yeah

 

[Curtis!]

Eeek similiar to McNish/Rocky's crash;

[Englebert]

[Christopher]

Was that a Manta at 1:07?!

Yep!

[Curtis!]

Could say exactly the same thing for Rocky/McNish' crashes at la sarthe this year!

 

[Ian_182]

[dunganick]

Such an epic race. I had planned to cover this event, but didn't work out in the end. Next year! Its got to be one of the most epic races going.

 

[Naith]

[Sam@NP]

McNish was to blame for his crash.

In the ring 24hrs, if you break down 3 of your favourite Mechanics jump in a van and come fix your car track side.
