  1. 23:31 F3K_LeMans Welcome to Le Mans for the penultimate round of the 1989 Formula 3000 season
  2. 23:32 Miguel98 Leclerc and Desai are tied for 203 points
  3. 23:32 F3K_LeMans Qualifying was an intense affair, with Alessandro Zanardi scoring his first career pole with a blistering lap in the first session
  4. 23:32 F3K_LeMans Fabrizio Giovanardi joins him on the front row, after failing to set a time in the first session
  5. 23:32 F3K_LeMans Behind them will be Jon Beekhuis, and the returning Emanuele Pirro on row 2
  6. 23:33 Biscione but where is Comas?
  7. 23:33 F3K_LeMans French rookie Didier Artzet put in an sterling debut performance to round out the top five in the new Lola
  8. 23:33 F3K_LeMans Erik Comas' chances to seal the title today took a nosedive, as he only qualified in 10th behind Eric Bernard
  9. 23:34 F3K_LeMans But worse was to come for Johnny Herbert
  10. 23:34 F3K_LeMans Struggling with car setup issues all weekend, he finds himself starting in a scarcely believable 21st on the grid
  11. 23:34 F3K_LeMans We had a capacity 28 car field here this weekend, which means we'll be saying an early goodbye to two participates
  12. 23:35 F3K_LeMans Who happened to be Marco Greco and Christophe Hurni this time around
  13. 23:35 Biscione daw
  14. 23:35 F3K_LeMans A 48 lap contest awaits our 26 starters
  15. 23:35 F3K_LeMans With the title on the line here, who will win out?
  16. 23:36 F3K_LeMans The lights come on
  17. 23:36 F3K_LeMans And we're away!
  18. 23:36 F3K_LeMans GIO!
  19. 23:36 F3K_LeMans He drives around the outside of Zanardi to go into the lead!
  20. 23:37 F3K_LeMans And we've got cars all over the place in the midfield!
  21. 23:37 Biscione
  22. 23:37 F3K_LeMans Alan McNish has tapped the back of Eric Bernard, sending the Jordan into the wall!
  23. 23:38 F3K_LeMans Hiro Matsushita has also been collected in the mess
  24. 23:39 F3K_LeMans Zanardi has a look at Gio into Garage Vert
  25. 23:39 F3K_LeMans And successfully retakes the lead!
  26. 23:40 F3K_LeMans Comas is still 10th behind the fast-starting Scrattenheim and Pirro
  27. 23:40 F3K_LeMans Donnelly is on a charge
  28. 23:40 F3K_LeMans Having started in 6th, he's now up to 3rd with a move on Beekhuis at the start of lap 2
  29. 23:41 F3K_LeMans The order is currently Zanardi, Gio, Donnelly, Beekhuis, Artzet and Aarseth
  30. 23:41 F3K_LeMans Comas meanwhile has cleared Pirro and now focuses his attentions on Scrattenheim
  31. 23:42 F3K_LeMans He goes down the inside through Dunlop Curve
  32. 23:42 F3K_LeMans And gets it done by the chicane
  33. 23:42 F3K_LeMans Next up will be Marco Apicella for 7th
  34. 23:43 F3K_LeMans Pirro is sinking down the order like a stone
  35. 23:43 F3K_LeMans He's just dropped 10th to Eddie Irvine
  36. 23:43 Biscione bugger
  37. 23:43 Biscione gwan Apicella, stick him in the fence
  38. 23:43 Normal32 c'mon Aarseth
  39. 23:43 F3K_LeMans And he now has McNish and Van de Poele to contend with
  40. 23:44 F3K_LeMans Herbert is looking far more comfortable in race trim that he ever did in qualifying
  41. 23:44 F3K_LeMans He's cleared a number of the backmarkers, and is now sitting 15th in the sole remaining EJR car
  42. 23:44 F3K_LeMans Eddie Jordan has got his head in his hands in pit lane as he sees the remains of Eric's car brought to the garage
  43. 23:45 F3K_LeMans We now cut to a fierce battle in the midfield
  44. 23:45 F3K_LeMans Spanning from Scrattenheim in 11th all the way to Chiesa in 16th
  45. 23:45 F3K_LeMans Jorg gets shuffled out of the way by McNish, opening the door for the Belgian van de Poele to follow
  46. 23:45 Miguel98 ...wait
  47. 23:45 Miguel98 another Jordan is fucked? :L
  48. 23:46 F3K_LeMans Schneider is up next to have a crack at his fellow German
  49. 23:46 Miguel98 oh, man :L
  50. 23:46 Miguel98 Getz is so fucked. :L
  51. 23:46 F3K_LeMans The train behind Scrattenheim and van de Poele is building rapidly
  52. 23:47 F3K_LeMans It now covers everyone down to 21st as the two DAMS cars try their hardest not to run each other off the road
  53. 23:47 F3K_LeMans Comas is on a mission further up the road
  54. 23:47 F3K_LeMans He takes 7th from Apicella with ease
  55. 23:47 F3K_LeMans Aarseth is up next for the Frenchman
  56. 23:48 F3K_LeMans One of the reason surprises today has been Giovanni Amati
  57. 23:48 F3K_LeMans She's been hanging with some of the quicker cars in the 87 Lola
  58. 23:48 F3K_LeMans And currently finds herself 17th
  59. 23:48 F3K_LeMans Comas has a look at Aarseth
  60. 23:49 F3K_LeMans But the Norwegian no-sells the move
  61. 23:49 F3K_LeMans And his favourite party trick at Dunlop doesn't work
  62. 23:49 F3K_LeMans The leaders are now on lap 9 of 48
  63. 23:49 Normal32 nice, v nice
  64. 23:50 F3K_LeMans And Zanardi has managed to eek out a small lead over Gio
  65. 23:50 Miguel98 so...
  66. 23:50 Miguel98 lol
  67. 23:50 Miguel98 now Hamilton has deleted all personal tweets which aren't F1 related
  68. 23:50 Miguel98 what the fuck. :L
  69. 23:50 F3K_LeMans Apicella is all over the back of Comas now
  70. 23:50 F3K_LeMans He wants this position back
  71. 23:51 F3K_LeMans He has a look into Garage Vert, but isn't quite far enough alongside
  72. 23:51 F3K_LeMans And only proceeds to lose a spot to irvine at the next corner
  73. 23:52 F3K_LeMans Somewhere along the line we've lost Michel Ferte
  74. 23:52 F3K_LeMans Which brings us down to 23 runners
  75. 23:53 F3K_LeMans Traffic might soon become a factor for Zanardi
  76. 23:53 F3K_LeMans The two Spirit cars are miles off the pace, and are a few laps away from going a lap down
  77. 23:54 F3K_LeMans Beekhuis!
  78. 23:54 F3K_LeMans He's gotten back ahead of Donnelly!
  79. 23:54 F3K_LeMans As Comas enters the points at the expense of Aarseth
  80. 23:54 Miguel98
  81. 23:54 Normal32 goddammet
  82. 23:55 F3K_LeMans Zanardi has caught McCarthy
  83. 23:55 F3K_LeMans He's got 9 seconds on Giovanardi on lap 14 of 48
  84. 23:55 F3K_LeMans The Brit lets him by with minimal fuss
  85. 23:55 F3K_LeMans Next up is Deletraz in the other Spirit car
  86. 23:55 F3K_LeMans As Herbert and Van De Poele come in for their first stops
  87. 23:55 *** Londoner joined #F1Rejects
  88. 23:55 *** Londoner quit (Quit: Londoner)
  89. 23:55 *** Londoner joined #F1Rejects
  90. 23:56 F3K_LeMans Middlebridge are getting ready for a stop
  91. 23:56 F3K_LeMans And the leader is in!
  92. 23:57 F3K_LeMans He rejoins just ahead of the battle for third
  93. 23:57 F3K_LeMans The pitstops are coming thick and fast now
  94. 23:58 F3K_LeMans As Madgewick have their crew out in the lane
  95. 23:58 F3K_LeMans Jon Beekhuis comes in from 3rd
  96. 23:58 F3K_LeMans The CoBRa and IBR crews are both ready in response
  97. 23:59 F3K_LeMans In comes Gio from the lead
  98. 23:59 F3K_LeMans Donnelly comes in as well
  99. 23:59 F3K_LeMans Here we go!
  100. 23:59 F3K_LeMans Gio comes out just behind Comas!
  101. 00:00 Miguel98
  102. 00:00 F3K_LeMans But the IBR driver is on much fresher rubber
  103. 00:00 F3K_LeMans There's a championship at stake here, and both these young men know it
  104. 00:00 F3K_LeMans Side by side down the back straight!
  105. 00:00 F3K_LeMans And Gio gives Comas some sign language as he takes the position
  106. 00:01 F3K_LeMans The order on lap 19 is Zanardi, Artzet, Gio, Comas, Beekhuis and Aarseth
  107. 00:01 F3K_LeMans Donnelly and McNish are right behind Aarseth
  108. 00:02 F3K_LeMans And the reigning champion makes the move into Chemin aux Boeufs
  109. 00:02 F3K_LeMans Zanardi's gap has grown exponentially in the last few minutes
  110. 00:03 F3K_LeMans And he now finds himself lapping cars in the lower-midfield
  111. 00:04 F3K_LeMans Gio has caught Artzet in the meantime for 2nd
  112. 00:04 F3K_LeMans As Perry McCarthy comes to a halt from 23rd position
  113. 00:04 F3K_LeMans Oreca are not far away from a stop for Comas either
  114. 00:05 F3K_LeMans There'a s sense of urgency in the Frenchman's driving
  115. 00:05 F3K_LeMans His teammate comes in from what was 7th position
  116. 00:05 F3K_LeMans And Gio takes 2nd from Artzet
  117. 00:06 F3K_LeMans IRVINE!
  118. 00:06 F3K_LeMans The Honda has exploded!
  119. 00:06 F3K_LeMans He had made his way up to 8th place from a middling qualifying showing
  120. 00:06 F3K_LeMans But this was a headache the Middlebridge crew didn't need
  121. 00:07 F3K_LeMans And there's a problem on one of the GA cars
  122. 00:07 F3K_LeMans As a wheel makes a bid for freedom on Gachot's machine
  123. 00:07 F3K_LeMans And in comes Comas from 4th
  124. 00:08 F3K_LeMans And that's Chiesa out of the race as well!
  125. 00:08 F3K_LeMans The left front tyre has exploded down the front straight!
  126. 00:09 F3K_LeMans Comas rejoins in 6th just ahead of Aarseth
  127. 00:10 F3K_LeMans If it were to end like this, Comas would have a 6 point lead over Gio heading into Dijon
  128. 00:10 F3K_LeMans If Gio were to finish 2nd, Comas needs to be 3rd to secure the title today
  129. 00:11 F3K_LeMans Giovanni Amati becomes the latest victim of lel rel with a transmission failure
  130. 00:12 F3K_LeMans With 18 cars remaining, the order up front is Zanardi, Giovanardi, Artzet, Beekhuis, Donnelly, Comas, Aarseth, McNish, Herbert and Apicella
  131. 00:12 Miguel98 Has Artzet pitted?
  132. 00:12 F3K_LeMans We have the Forti and DAMS crews in the lanes now
  133. 00:12 F3K_LeMans Artzet is yet to stop
  134. 00:12 F3K_LeMans Schneider brings his car in
  135. 00:13 F3K_LeMans As does Scrattenheim
  136. 00:13 F3K_LeMans Aarseth also comes in from 7th position
  137. 00:13 F3K_LeMans The Madgewick crew are out in the lane
  138. 00:14 F3K_LeMans And in comes Artzet for his one and only stop
  139. 00:14 F3K_LeMans He comes out behind Comas
  140. 00:14 Miguel98 Go Artzet :L
  141. 00:15 F3K_LeMans And in comes Zanardi from the lead
  142. 00:15 F3K_LeMans He rejoins behind Gio
  143. 00:15 Miguel98 So, Artzet is on the 1 stop
  144. 00:15 F3K_LeMans Beekhuis also comes in for his second stop
  145. 00:15 F3K_LeMans And rejoins in 6th behind Artzet
  146. 00:15 F3K_LeMans This is all good news for Comas
  147. 00:15 F3K_LeMans Who's now up to 4th position
  148. 00:16 Miguel98 is Comas going to pit again or he's he 1 stopping?
  149. 00:16 F3K_LeMans Comas is on the one-stop strategy
  150. 00:16 Miguel98 fuck
  151. 00:16 F3K_LeMans The IBR team are coming out into the lane
  152. 00:16 Miguel98 What's the gap to the Madgwick's?
  153. 00:16 F3K_LeMans Comas has 4 seconds to Artzet
  154. 00:17 F3K_LeMans Who has another 5 and a half seconds on Beekhuis
  155. 00:17 F3K_LeMans COMAS!
  156. 00:17 F3K_LeMans THE ENGINE IS ON FIRE!
  157. 00:17 F3K_LeMans THE TITLE RACE HAS BEEN BLOWN WIDE OPEN!
  158. 00:17 Miguel98
  159. 00:17 F3K_LeMans Gio comes in from the lead!
  160. 00:17 F3K_LeMans As does Donnelly from 3rd!
  161. 00:17 F3K_LeMans Gio rejoins back in 2nd position
  162. 00:18 F3K_LeMans And Donnelly rejoins in 5th behind the two Madgewicks
  163. 00:18 Londoner I guess his title chances really are in a coma now
  164. 00:18 F3K_LeMans The IBR crew are rejoicing in the pitlane!
  165. 00:18 Normal32 *ba dum tss*
  166. 00:18 F3K_LeMans If the result stays as is, Comas' lead will be down to 5 points heading into the season finale
  167. 00:19 F3K_LeMans McNish in the second Oreca car is now up to 6th
  168. 00:19 F3K_LeMans But Aarseth is closing in rapidly
  169. 00:19 F3K_LeMans We now cut to a battle on track between Hill in 13th and Montermini in 14th
  170. 00:20 F3K_LeMans The Forti driver is in no mood to hang around, and puts a move on the Brit through Dunlop
  171. 00:20 F3K_LeMans Hill's reporting an issue with his car now
  172. 00:20 F3K_LeMans But manages to limp it back to pit lane
  173. 00:21 F3K_LeMans Zanardi is absolutely flying out front
  174. 00:21 F3K_LeMans As he's put everyone up to 8th position a lap down
  175. 00:21 *** GertrandBachot joined #F1Rejects
  176. 00:21 F3K_LeMans McNish is clearly struggling for grip in the Oreca
  177. 00:22 F3K_LeMans Aarseth is just about on top of him for the final points position
  178. 00:22 F3K_LeMans On lap 34 of 48
  179. 00:23 F3K_LeMans We also have the interesting situation of Beekhuis catching Artzet for the final podium position
  180. 00:25 F3K_LeMans Scrattenheim becomes the latest victim of lel rel
  181. 00:25 F3K_LeMans Falling foul of a transmission failure
  182. 00:25 F3K_LeMans Leaving us with 16 runners from the 26 who started
  183. 00:25 Miguel98 https://twitter.com/BBCWorld/status/946864692194136067
  184. 00:26 F3K_LeMans And it's on for 6th now
  185. 00:26 F3K_LeMans Aarset is right with McNish
  186. 00:26 F3K_LeMans And gets the move done at the exit of the Dunlop Chicane!
  187. 00:26 F3K_LeMans And that's why!
  188. 00:26 F3K_LeMans McNish has an electrical drama!
  189. 00:27 F3K_LeMans The team have a new steering wheel ready
  190. 00:27 F3K_LeMans And in comes the stricken Oreca car
  191. 00:27 F3K_LeMans He rejoins in 8th behind Herbert
  192. 00:28 F3K_LeMans And goes a lap down in the process
  193. 00:28 F3K_LeMans The closest thing to an on-track battle at the moment is between Pirro in 9th and Apicella in 10th
  194. 00:29 F3K_LeMans The Onyx car is on an incredibly long stint at the moment, having pitted on lap 12
  195. 00:29 F3K_LeMans And the Pacific driver behind is catching him at a vast rate of knots
  196. 00:30 F3K_LeMans While there may not be much on the line in terms of prize money or results, there's still pride to be won between these two
  197. 00:31 F3K_LeMans Zanardi's lead up front is up to over 24 seconds
  198. 00:31 --- Mr_Klon is away (Auto away)
  199. 00:31 F3K_LeMans In just his second start in the series, the Italian has put on a masterclass today
  200. 00:32 F3K_LeMans As he puts Johnny Herbert a lap down

  205. 00:32 F3K_LeMans Gio now comes up to lap this pair
  206. 00:33 F3K_LeMans Apicella doesn't make it too difficult for his compatriot
  207. 00:33 F3K_LeMans Donnelly!
  208. 00:33 Miguel98
  209. 00:33 F3K_LeMans Now he's been struck by the curse of lel rel with an electrical drama of his own!
  210. 00:34 Normal32 lol
  211. 00:34 Normal32 rip
  212. 00:34 F3K_LeMans He manages to limp it back to pit lane
  213. 00:35 F3K_LeMans But he loses 5th to Aarseth!
  214. 00:35 F3K_LeMans Can he get the spot back with 4 to go?
  215. 00:35 F3K_LeMans He's already monstering the FIRST driver on his outlap
  216. 00:35 F3K_LeMans But Aarseth is refuting his advances
  217. 00:36 Normal32 where's Aarseth?
  218. 00:36 F3K_LeMans He has a big tow down the front straight
  219. 00:36 F3K_LeMans And takes 5th from Aarseth at the Dunlop Chicane
  220. 00:36 Miguel98 13:35 F3K_LeMans But he loses 5th to Aarseth!
  221. 00:36 Miguel98 how many laps to go?
  222. 00:36 F3K_LeMans Zanardi is about to start the final lap
  223. 00:37 F3K_LeMans He has put on a clinic this weekend for Middlebridge
  224. 00:37 F3K_LeMans Several top teams are already looking at giving him a full-time drive next year
  225. 00:37 F3K_LeMans And he's showing them why he deserves a top ride
