The slow zone had just ended, the green flags were waving, but the electronic "speed limiter" in effect had not disengaged so he was speeding up since he saw the green flags, but the traffic was still in the process of speeding up. Or something like that!!

You're right, the Green flags are clearly waving but the two GT cars are still going very slowly, even slow enough that other GT cars were taking avoiding action. The slow zone will have to be tweaked because you cannot have be funnelling cars going 340 km/h into cars going 80 km/h like what happened here.

THe audi is faster now.

Treluyer can turn on 3.20.XXX he caught the 919 of Webber about 3sec/Lap.
But, on the timesheet I can see the 919 of Hulkenberg in 3.20.XXX (same run)..

The key is the reliability I think, actually we passed 6 hours of race, more than every race time since the start of the season, we will see who is reliable

EDIT : Hulkenberg actually faster than Fassler, the 919 seems to had the potential

Radio issues for the Audi number 7 (Fassler)

Webber is finally starting to ramp up his pace in the #7 Porsche. Those 3:24s he did earlier were just rubbish. I have a feeling Audi may pounce at night. I'm in the states so I'm gonna try to watch as much of the night racing as possible! That's when sh!t usually starts hitting the fan!

Incredible run of Albuquerque on the last Audi =D>

I feel disapointed for Nissan, brake issues for the red Nissan actually.
I think, for Le Mans 2016, Nissan will change their architecture, sort of engine and hybrid system.. This is disastrous for the brand tbh

Issue on the brake for the Porsche of Neel Jani, he says at the radio with a tons of lock up
The time are much closer to 3.25 than 3.20 in fresh condition, but Hulkenberg stay on high 3.20

THe architectue is OK.. they just don't have the software sorted and the rear motors sorted.

Hulkenburg a bit disappointing...

I don't think this architecture is the most efficient. In fact, with a small single turbo engine a the front, Ok. But with a big twincharged V6 it's quite risky. But indeed, Nissan seems pretty enthusiast about the WEC, I think with some attempt they can match with the Germans.

About Hulkenberg, I'm pretty happy for this talented driver, he deserve a better car in Formula One, and here he show it's adaptability during his run when he match or he's faster than Webber

Hulkenberg lead the race !

Shame on Mark Webber passing under a yellow!!! 1min stop and go. Ugh.

Dat mistake

Actually it seems like, the Audi without hot condition doesn't really outperform the Porsche. Because their principal advantage is the tyre deg

Impressive stint from Hulkenberg, always at 3.20.XXX since the start of the night, really consistant run. Now Tandy on the #19, I'm afraid
