Yeah they did mention it in passing as a comment on how the stewards were getting a bit tougher over the course of the race. It's now getting seriously wet and the leading Audi #15 just had a close call. And he's coming in for a pitstop!

The car got a 7:32 time penalty, the driver is disqualified and his Nordschleifen racing permit got immediately revoked. The incident was also reported to the German Motor Sport Federation which will probably ban him from racing for a few more months.  well, can't say there weren't direct and representative responses to that big of a breaking of the rules.

That's surprising, I don't remember any other racing leagues loving someone that hard for speeding. I've seen disqualifications sure but that litany of punishments is quite novel.

And that doesn't even consider that racing cars aren't built for being better for pedestrians who get run into by drivers than regular road-going cars. The more aerodynamic a car is, the worse it is for a pedestrian to be hit by.

The only reason there's still racing at all at the Nurburgring at all is all up to how strict the safety regulations are. That track is legit dangerous and if you gently caress around like that you'll end up killing someone. That dude should have his racing license heavily sanctioned or suspended for some time for something that egregious. I'm honestly surprised there's not the threat of criminal charges being considered, since it is a public road.

I'm glad one was given.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:There's a risk of death at 60km/h (~37mi/h), let alone 100km/h (60mi/h) - and if they aren't killed, they'll be maimed for life. That's a slightly mad take. You know there are degrees right? Also the point is the marshals are expecting cars to be doing 60, and thus taking say 20 seconds from when they come into view, this is stuff Marshals are trained to use.

And for any sickos that need some kind of racing on for the next 3/4 of a day, the Super Taikyu Fuji 24H is live now. Japanese commentary here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTHrfWMaj9E the top class are GT3s, then a little bit of everything from there on down. 60 cars in the field, kind of Nurburgring 24H vibes but without the German 'factory' GT3 knife fight.

i know first practice is not much to go one but it was still encouraging to see glickenhaus keep pace with toyota. would be nice if the race for the overall win is a real race this year.

I finally succeeded in getting the 10 meter one-way HDMI cable I have, that was embedded in a wall, out of it - without tearing the wall out. So now I have my TV signal from my HTPC on one of my monitors, and I'm as ready as can be for Le Mans. Also, the Danish Eurosport host just opened after a commercial with "It's not a bad year, it's a good year" as the camera guy had caught some tires being changed. I approve.

Also, Mikkel Pedersen has his first flying lap of his entire life on the Le Mans track, and he just set a record in the car and is #7.
