Apparently Fernando ran out of fuel on track so was classified DNF ( they're back in it now albeit last and 69 laps down.

Yeah, in like the first hour he came out of the pits with only 1.3L of fuel in the car (needs 7L for a lap) for some reason

Seems rFactor has been pissing people off today. The game wouldn't let Team Redline's second car (i.e not the one Max and Lando are in) change drivers (which meant they were out of it right from the get go), and the game has bugged out for multiple people out of nowhere (including Max and Charles)

mid 40s & like so many of the Yanks he's driven every class of motor sport successfully, good to see Mario Andretti at Ferraris 1000th GP at Mugello.

[Acinath]

I don’t have Fetch, I’d have no idea sorry

 

[Jakko]

I'm having to settle for youtube live streams of teams onboard cameras, better than nothing.

 

[Black_White]

30mins to go in the LM24. The thing that shits me is that they show the leader, as in who's driving the car, but it doesn't show their time mates. You have to work it out yourself.

This rally on a circuit is pretty good to watch.

What a loony family. Driver loses the plot at World Kart Champs, throws a piece of his car at rival and then he and his father (who owns the track) attack the driver (see second video in link) after the race! Life ban incoming
