- Hi, everyone I am Nanaki and I am with MisteriousLePro
- Hi, Nanaki - Coming back for the 3rd round of GTfusion...
... on Le Mans with 458 italia's, and we will comment the 2nd race of the group A
Again with the best drivers ! - The 3rd round, it's getting serious
We will see if the bests can deal with pressure
- Right, the night mode is on, however we won't have any rain.
- With penalties sets on strong. - Can you comment us the starting grid ?
- In first, we have Meteorz, a belgian, winner of the NextinyourPS3 cup
- In 2nd place, Noaina from GT5rs - That we don't have to present no more
3rd : Racing4jsus - A portuguese driver
... who finished in 3rd place in the spain finale of the GT Academy
Followed by Apo, one of the best French drivers, that you know well, Nanaki
Right behind him, it's AFD from GTracing - Who we have seen in the first 2 rounds
- In 6th position, MeAgainstU, european finalist of the 2011 GT Academy
- Yes, he will be participating in the Silverstone activities in few weeks...
... he is a finalist, and he will might win this year's GT Academy
-And finally to complete this grid, Zayn from PureGT, one of the best driver
... following by Zikwik GTPlay and Rudrift from BTH that we know well
And finally PureGT_Kevin that we have seen in the first round
- Do we know well Rudrift ? - Well..., we know the BTH...
... and it's the 1st time we see Rudrift
- And we think about Lucky-Strike who did great in qualification but had...
... a connection problem and couldn't make it for this race.
We will start with a view on racing4jsus to see what is going on for the start
... Noaina smoking his tires... Meteorz not making a very good start
Apo, here on the right with the 2 GT5rs in the lead
but I don't think it will last, because racing4jsus is right on Noaina here
Apo took the lead, racing4jsus that wee see here is now 2nd
Noaina gets also overtake by AFD too ... oh, they do smoke the tires in here
Under the Dunlop, Apo followed by Racing4jsus, AFD and Noaina...
... who is under the menace of Meteorz. Meteorz who also took a bad start...
He is now in 5th position even if he started the race in 1st place
- That's right, here with Zayn following meagainstyou
- We have to note that the start occured with a reverse grid from previous race
Oh! Meteorz is now transparant, who must had a little contact
and will end up last right behind Kevin
- It's hard for him, he had a great, and he is now in last place
- he will have to redo everything. The 2 drivers in the lead...
... have now created a little space, wich help them to share aspiration
There is a lot of movement during straight lines, ... Apo taking the lead
It's moving a lot in straight lines... Oh! Noaina just missed his braking point
and passed the 1st Hunaudières corner by going straight
... and he will restart in last place - It's a catastrophe for Noaina
It's not rare that he misses completly his starts, it will be hard to recover..
In 7 laps I don't see him getting back - racing4jsus who took the lead now
- As I was saying, due to the fact that Le Mans has lots of straight lines,...
...there will be a lot of avertaking
The straight line of Hunaudière is longer than 5 km
Even if there are chicanes in the middle of it
Here it was Rudrift and Zikwik...
Zikwik fighting for the 4th place, and meagainstu got back the 3rd place.
Here with Zayne, right behind Zikwik and Rudrift, he will pass Rudrift...
... And he will also pass Zikwik for the 4th position...
It's a beautifull maneuver ! Wonderfull overtaking between these 2
- They now form a pack, it will be dangerous in the Golf corner
It's a dangerous place, you can overtake but it is verry narrow
and also verry bumpy, going at +300 km/h at the end
It's not a real straight line, it's a countryside road with small corners
Here Zayne mows the lawn, and... Oh! He just scared himself
- Very nice fights in the peloton
And here with meagainstu, Umm... Kevin who is chasing
- Yes, PureGT_Kevin - Kevin who is chasing the top 3
however the top 3 are well ahead - Attention! with Meteorz that shifts
... but he will be ok
- They will arrive at the Porsche corner and they can overtake before it
It's not moving in the lead, with Apo then racing4jsus and megainstu
- Here Meteorz ... and Zikwik too just passed Kevin who is now 6th
We have here a very compact pack
So, ...
-Coming back on the lead, still with Apo then racing4jsus and megainstu
- Enlarging here, well... a bit too much
for racing4jsus and Apo too
- They can try to overtake before the chicane here, at the end of the lap
... but it's not that easy. however they can easily overtake right after that.
- We can see that the 1st 3 dirvers are now escaping from aspiration
... of the 4th, Meteorz.
- They will arrive at the Hunaudières, is it possible to overtake...
... right before Tertre Rouge corner ? - Um, well we are not there yet...
- They are arriving at the Dunlop's, but at the Tertre Rouge you cannot pass
... you can just get a good acceleration for the following straight line
Once you have the aspiration on the Hunaudières, then you are fine
Oh! Rudrift just had a penalty, maybe for a collision, I don't know
- He is now not last but penultimate and will have difficulties to get back
- Small focus on the leaderboard - racing4jsus is in the lead
Apo is 2nd and megainstu is 3rd, the top 3 is in less than 1 second
Then we have Meteorz, Zikwik, Kevin and Zayne, both from PureGT
Followed by AFD, Rudrift is a bit behind and Noaina even further
- Getting with Apo, overtaking racing4jsus
With a nice view on the engine of the 458
- Here will see that the 3rd might be favorized from the aspiration
- Yes, um... wait... Meteorz took the advantage on Zikwik
What were you saying about the aspiration ?
- I was saying that when you are 3 ... - oh! AFD is out, and took a penalty...
because he cut the chicane - And he is passed by Rudrift
But he won't be passed by Noaina
- Yes! You said that when you are 3 in the lanes, the last one...
- As we can see in this sequence - The last one takes a huge aspiration
- But I think that meagainstu isn't attacking, he is staying in 3rd place
He is maybe waiting for an error of the 2 in front of him. But he's got time ...
It's possible to make the entire race at the aspiration on LeMans.
It's almost like racing on an oval, at least in the Hunaudières
In fact you're not in a hurry, you need to stay in contact with the right person
And the pilots when passing during the whole race can plan where they need to..
pass in order to be the 1st one at the end
They are calculating, but the top 3 is also taking the large
In order to ensure themself the victory, that what they are looking for now.
We can see that there are duels between the top 3, and for the 4th and 6th place
- Do you think that the 4th still has the aspiration from the 3rd ?
- No, I think that meteorz don't have anymore the aspiration,but it's not over
For the moment, he can still get back on the top 3 pack
Here it's Zikwik that has just passed Meteorz
On the Golf Curve, Attention behind it's the Derby Norway / Great Bretain
Between Zayne and Kevin of the same team
But they know well each other, and they shouldn't get into a collision
- Here with an onboard camera on racing4 - Yes, who is chasing Apo
We can see that he is getting back on Apo very fast before the Porsche corner
He won't try to pass in here, it's not systematic, but you can pass here
But here you will have the example of Metoeorz who is passing in here
who will violantly close the door, he is a bit at the exterior...
Maybe Zikwik can hold on, No he can't Meteorz is taking the 4th place
Meteorz despites his bad start... - Gets back little by little
- Yes, he is now in a good position - He wasn't a small client at the start
- It's a player that I don't know very well, but showed that...
he was a good pilot on this round
Attention it's fighting in here, Zikwik can try in here, Um no, Yes he is!
Oh! Oh! Zikwik that just cut a little the chicane
And Zikwik is cutting here again Oh! no...
Meteorz just took a penalty for a collision with Zikwik
It's totally too bad for him, it should have been the contrary
wait racing4jsus is taking the lead
but it would be great if we could come back on the Zikwik/Meteorz incident
It's a bit disgusting for Meteorz - The director has eard you Nanaki
So, an overtaking a bit suicidal with a first cut in the chicane
that hadn't been penalized, and Meteorz that has Zikwik in his trajectory
but still don't hit him on purpose, and Zikwik is untroubled
and he cuts again the chicane and don't get a penalty which is not normal
And Meteorz is paying for this error
- We return for fight for the 1st place with Apo right behind racing4jsus
Here we will see for the begening of the straight line that meagainstu
is a big client and might try to overtake this time... Yes! Yes!
He is now 2nd and might also try to pass 1st at the interior here,... No!
Apo is keeping the lead. Attention you got to be carefull here, because...
if you loose the aspiration it goes very fast. Meteorz fail in here
while fighting with the 2 PureGT. He prefers to take the loophole
which is made for this, you loose some time but at least you're not in the sand
So, megainstu who for the 1st time, I think, is taking the lead.
- Not for a long time - Yes, racing4jsus will pass him back
... and maybe Apo,... No! But we feel that... Oh! he missed...
The same error that Meteorz did during the last chicane
He will get back... will he still be on the aspiration ? - Not certain
- Yes he is still on the aspiration, but he needs to get back right here
We missed the passing of Kevin from Zayn, very clean
But the 2 of them are going to keep fighting a while in the hope to get back
And here we are still with Zayn, and Kevin who is going to pass him back
That's really nice to see. -That's true, it's a circuit that enable
...great duels in the different packs - Yes, it's aspiration races,...
with a lot of overtaking. And if you are passing well, you can gain time
on someone in front of you that is alone and that doesn't benefit from aspiration
- Which is not the case of the top 3 - Yes exactly !
Wow! Apo is overtaking in here - We really are with world's top drivers
- They are at 330km/h, I can tell that you that I tried to pass in these places
Some times in goes well but 1 time over 2 it finishes in the rail
It's really well done from Apo, who is also taking the lead at the same time
Here with Zayn still behind kevin and in 6th place
We can see, they are not far from Zikwik who is alone since Meteorz crashed
and that he missed the chicane, because Meteorz lost aspiration
- He was a bit punished, which means that his race is less funny
- Here we have racing4jsus who just passed Apo and at the same time
we have Zayn who also passed Kevin, These 2 passing occured simultaneously
right before the Porsche corner, There are a lot of passing zone on this track
It's just at the end of the track, in these pretty rapid curves
in white house and all that... and the Porsche curves at the end
You cannot pass easily, except before the Ford curves...wait, what am I saying
Ford, it's before or after the chicanes at the end ? I don't remember
You can pass, but you need to be close here racing4jsus, is keeping the lead
untill the finish lane we are just at the middle of the race
Its still really undecided... - Personnally I would bet on Apo,
not because he is french, but we can see ,he is never in 3rd, always 1st or 2nd
Yes and it's the same for racing4jsus, it's meagainstu who is more in the wait
On the contrary, I think that meagainstu will get out of the closet at the right time
But it will be decided with the first one to make a mistake
- You place you bet on meagainstu ? - We will see...
The differences between the cars are longer but Rudrift's back behind Meteorz
He'll might get back closer, and AFD is gone, he is really too far now
And Meteorz is paying for the unfair penalty he got
- It's not a fun race for Meteorz - But it's not over yet
So, is to going to move in the lead ? The 1st one to make an error...
will result in the explosion of the pack and maybe create a loss in aspiration
It will be the one with the better place that will benefit and stay ahead
But all 3 of them are good, so they may not make any mistake
They'll may have to plan a group finish - Can we feel already some brake usury ?
- You meant tire usury, right ? - Yes tire usury
We will see... there are no pit stops in GTfusion races, it's short races
But it's true that, it can play a big role at the end of the race
racing4jsus has smoke a little his rear tires, but for the moment it's OK
He is still 1st, we can see that Kevin...
