Race Highlights | CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa 2024 

It's all because lamborghini

I don't follow any media around this race. Was there any comment about this incident?

@@SmallKittyPaw no, it was the Lamborghini's fault but they weren't penalized further.

Why didn't the team abort the pit stop? Were they unable to see the Lamborghini?

@Dat-Mudkip there is bend at pit entry so they probably didn't see him. Marshal at pit entry was waving yellow flag. But I guess it's hard to tell if he meant yellow on track and you probably don't expect yellow flag condition in pit. My problem is that this happened two times with the same car and I think there's no investigation about it whatsoever

A brilliant quote!

Thank god I’m not the only one, I was at the track all week and any time we left I still heard the cars accelerating in the distance. I only realised I was imagining them when I got home and was still constantly hearing 911’s, R8’s and Huracans racing in my head lol

​@@FanePhotographyand @PiepsyTurtle-vr3l be happy (or sad) that GT1s and GT2s didn't race 24h. At those times you heard them until Malmedy, you couldn't sleep at night and water bottles fell down at the grandstands. That was a different, but awesome level of sound back in those days

I think they got caught up in one of the multi car accidents. They showed it somewhere in the highlights.

Cooling issues

I think they had a water leak early on. Not involved in any incident at all.

Its absolute cinema

66 @ start

@@theorenhobart incredible. 66 cars.

66 starters, 45 finishers

Too Many

Did they have enough fuel for another lap? Might have been the least of two risks

​@@griphy they actually had to put as they hat gone over their driver time Limit of 1h

​@@michaelundclaudiasiegel6357 I kind of feel like something like that shouldn't be penalized. Although a drive thru would have probably cost them less time...

@Dat-Mudkip not being able to get into the pits if it's blocked and you go over the drive time, isn't penalised. It happened to someone else. "Pierre Gweedy" said he didn't know which means the team didn't know either.

There is no rule. The solution is for Spa to to widen the pit lane so cars can go around. I would not be surprised if they ( and maybe others with similar pit lanes) do this in the near future.

@@williamford9564 Sounds like the best idea. If I were Ferrari i'd have all my lawyers on this. Another thing I've wondered about is having tracks provide an alternate pit entry on the opposite side of the track so that cars with tires down don't cause FCY's and can duck off the racing line much earlier and yet still get serviced and back out without having as much of their race ruined by events beyond their control.

@@davidbutler1857 Pits are only in one place on a track, they don't go all round the middle of it. In any event having a second pit entry would completely balls up the number of laps actually raced, laps times, etc.

@@aitch8237 No i mean like just another access road so that if I get a flat, I don't have to drive all the way around the track on the racing line to possibly leave debris and cause a FCY, but at least some sort of access road that I can still duck onto, drive at a pit lane speed. Even if that means It's just a separate inner loop road that runs parallel to the track. I don't see why it can't be done with transponders these days and the car is still going to lose the lap or what not just on whether or not it can reach the pits and exit back onto the main course. Like, it wouldn't be allowed except if you have a 'black flag' type issue with the car. Race control would just say to the team/driver 'You are black flagged, have the safety exit lane coming up, take that instead of trying to go to the pits'. Seems like it would make sense at least on some of these longer courses like Le Mans and Nurburgring

There is a mute button the RU-vid screen. But 99.9% of us disagree with you and keep the sound on.

Apparently the Chinese stream was just ambient during the night. If only I'd known at the time then I wouldn't have had to put up with the Haven ramblings.
