We lose the gearbox pressure 823 00:48:46,557 --> 00:48:49,961 in the reconnaissance round, So, I put it in the box, and, 824 00:48:49,995 --> 00:48:51,896 Boys think they've found it may be a quick fix, 825 00:48:51,929 --> 00:48:53,064 so we will see if that works 826 00:48:53,098 --> 00:48:55,033 If not, I think we will enter for a little longer 827 00:48:55,066 --> 00:48:58,136 But we will try this now and see how it goes. 828 00:48:58,169 --> 00:49:02,040 [Jamie] You have from Ford starting from the garage 829 00:49:02,073 --> 00:49:05,310 The cars are so close. They are built exactly the same, 830 00:49:05,343 --> 00:49:07,512 So, immediately, from bats, you are like, 831 00:49:07,545 --> 00:49:10,248 "Alright, so there are four cars will make the final this race, 832 00:49:10,281 --> 00:49:13,084 or there is a car will make the end of the race?" That is... 833 00:49:13,118 --> 00:49:17,688 For 24 hours, you question program survival. 834 00:49:17,722 --> 00:49:20,358 [Raj] Yes, for that happens even before the race starts, 835 00:49:21,926 --> 00:49:23,161 in the other hand, You think, 836 00:49:23,194 --> 00:49:25,963 "Oh, son, this will happen long 24 hours." 837 00:49:25,997 --> 00:49:29,667 In addition, I thought, "Okay, I'm glad I brought four cars." 838 00:49:29,700 --> 00:49:31,402 [chuckles] 839 00:49:31,436 --> 00:49:33,371 [commentator] Back to life, at Le Mans, 840 00:49:33,404 --> 00:49:36,741 on French rainy days, but the sun pierces. 841 00:49:36,774 --> 00:49:39,077 Crowds in the stands fold their umbrellas, 842 00:49:39,110 --> 00:49:41,512 and take off their raincoat, that's a good sign 843 00:49:41,546 --> 00:49:45,783 This is the first time in 84 runnings in this race 844 00:49:45,816 --> 00:49:49,720 that 24 hours from Le Mans has begun behind the safety car 845 00:50:03,168 --> 00:50:07,238 [commentator] Sixty cars are now on their way to Le Mans under the green 846 00:50:08,806 --> 00:50:11,709 [Jamie] Fast structure in sports car racing is unique. 847 00:50:11,742 --> 00:50:15,012 You have, basically, four different races occur 848 00:50:15,046 --> 00:50:16,881 at the racetrack at the same time. 849 00:50:16,914 --> 00:50:19,384 So you have a prototype. 850 00:50:19,417 --> 00:50:21,819 That is the thing the producer is developing 851 00:50:21,852 --> 00:50:25,890 to be in their car, Maybe five-ten years on the road. 852 00:50:25,923 --> 00:50:27,958 From a coverage point of view, 853 00:50:27,992 --> 00:50:29,960 You always follow the overall leader 854 00:50:29,994 --> 00:50:33,531 So, it's always, in sports car racing, will be a prototype 855 00:50:33,564 --> 00:50:39,304 But recently, the GT category has gained more interest 856 00:50:39,337 --> 00:50:42,340 because they are cars that can be associated with people. 857 00:50:42,373 --> 00:50:47,612 The GTE pro car looks like the car you will see driving on the road. 858 00:50:47,645 --> 00:50:50,615 The level of competition there is very strong [commentator 1] What a battle here at GTE pro, 859 00:50:50,648 --> 00:50:52,317 between Ferrari and Ford, just like We saw 50 years ago. 860 00:50:52,350 --> 00:50:56,987 861 00:50:57,021 --> 00:50:58,423 [commentator 2] What a battle, 862 00:50:58,456 --> 00:51:02,227 as one Ferrari jump in front Ford GTs. 863 00:51:10,034 --> 00:51:12,770 [Richard] Wherever you go, someone reminds you about history 864 00:51:12,803 --> 00:51:15,340 from Ford at Le Mans. 865 00:51:15,373 --> 00:51:17,642 So, you permanently remind him, 866 00:51:17,675 --> 00:51:20,811 and you can't really escape from it. That's not what I want. 867 00:51:26,151 --> 00:51:28,653 [Scott] For me, I think there must be some nerves 868 00:51:28,686 --> 00:51:32,022 You understand large images. 869 00:51:32,056 --> 00:51:36,161 You understand the emphasis in 50 years, 870 00:51:36,194 --> 00:51:39,264 You know, there is a big story behind it 871 00:51:39,297 --> 00:51:45,303 But to be able to come here and win the first year is a very big hope. 872 00:51:46,704 --> 00:51:48,673 We try to think of everything as a team 873 00:51:48,706 --> 00:51:50,908 You try to think from every different scenario. 874 00:51:50,941 --> 00:51:54,779 But many of us have never been here, We have never been here before. 875 00:51:54,812 --> 00:51:57,248 There are many things that can get you out of there 876 00:51:57,282 --> 00:51:59,784 But I think, by having four cars, 877 00:51:59,817 --> 00:52:01,419 You know, surely, 878 00:52:01,452 --> 00:52:05,223 You know, spreading that stress, and a little emotion. 879 00:52:06,991 --> 00:52:09,560 [Joey] No matter what happens, we will become part of history 880 00:52:09,594 --> 00:52:12,062 I'll be one of those people That, 50 years later, 881 00:52:12,096 --> 00:52:13,398 try this. 882 00:52:13,431 --> 00:52:16,534 Hopefully, we can say that we won, or the podium or whatever, 883 00:52:16,567 --> 00:52:18,436 but at least do an experiment for that. 884 00:52:19,570 --> 00:52:21,506 [revving] 885 00:52:27,712 --> 00:52:29,214 [speed reduction] 886 00:52:33,551 --> 00:52:34,552 [thud] 887 00:52:49,367 --> 00:52:50,901 [commentator] This is not where you want 888 00:52:50,935 --> 00:52:53,471 at the end of Mulsanne to Mulsanne Corner. 889 00:52:53,504 --> 00:52:55,473 And for Marino Franchitti, 890 00:52:55,506 --> 00:52:57,408 it's not where he wants to be right now 891 00:52:57,442 --> 00:53:00,711 He said on the radio, "I just locked them, I can't get it opened." 892 00:53:00,745 --> 00:53:02,913 He is not the first car that we have seen there. 893 00:53:02,947 --> 00:53:06,451 In fact, This is a very popular place to be today, 894 00:53:06,484 --> 00:53:09,687 But it's an easy mistake to make it at the end just right 895 00:53:09,720 --> 00:53:14,725 Good news for Ford is this the car it has early on 896 00:53:14,759 --> 00:53:16,927 That's already a few laps down 897 00:53:16,961 --> 00:53:20,965 and they do bring four of them, so... 898 00:53:20,998 --> 00:53:24,269 [Raj] At present, 67 cars are really not debated. 899 00:53:24,302 --> 00:53:26,070 The car is doing very well. 900 00:53:26,103 --> 00:53:29,507 This is the first place trading back and forth With Ferrari now, so, 901 00:53:29,540 --> 00:53:31,409 we just see what night brings 902 00:53:59,437 --> 00:54:02,407 [commentator] Right time to make some drivers change, continue. 903 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,810 Enter those people in and let them run into dusk, 904 00:54:05,843 --> 00:54:07,978 and then when you put it the next driver 905 00:54:08,012 --> 00:54:10,515 in some tasks from now on, some tasks from now, 906 00:54:10,548 --> 00:54:12,350 they can enter in total darkness, 907 00:54:12,383 --> 00:54:14,151 and they must be so adjust to that 908 00:54:14,184 --> 00:54:17,822 We see 68, Joey Hand, Pitted from lead, 909 00:54:17,855 --> 00:54:20,858 Sebastien Bourdais has taken over the car 910 00:54:20,891 --> 00:54:24,261 Billy Johnson aboard 66 now 911 00:54:24,295 --> 00:54:27,298 [Jamie] And you grew up The point is, Bryan, about having the same driver 912 00:54:27,332 --> 00:54:32,503 during this transition period from noon to dark. 913 00:54:32,537 --> 00:54:35,105 The effect is that sunlight is in your eyes Different places that you, 914 00:54:35,139 --> 00:54:36,907 it bothers you around the race track, and has someone there 915 00:54:36,941 --> 00:54:39,243 like transitions and not just there immediately. 916 00:54:39,276 --> 00:54:42,447 [Mark] Early race is a bit stressful 917 00:54:44,349 --> 00:54:46,183 number 67 has some gearbox problems. 918 00:54:46,216 --> 00:54:49,854 But come back in, and they are all racing now. 919 00:54:49,887 --> 00:54:51,889 And I can't wait to sunset 920 00:54:51,922 --> 00:54:54,725 because that's when really, really special 921 00:54:54,759 --> 00:54:57,962 922 00:55:13,143 --> 00:55:16,013 [commentator] Beautiful overhead display, when night falls 923 00:55:16,046 --> 00:55:18,549 and the party starts earnestly. 924 00:55:44,108 --> 00:55:46,343 [Jim] Racing at Le Mans, especially at night, 925 00:55:46,377 --> 00:55:49,046 very "out of the body". 926 00:55:49,079 --> 00:55:51,716 It's not very fun, but you do it 927 00:55:51,749 --> 00:55:55,586 and visual input You get as a human 928 00:55:55,620 --> 00:55:57,755 very out of this world 929 00:56:03,461 --> 00:56:05,563 [Larry] People enter a, 930 00:56:05,596 --> 00:56:09,133 let's not call it, no, trans state, sounds crazy, 931 00:56:09,166 --> 00:56:11,268 but people enter the zone. 932 00:56:11,301 --> 00:56:13,538 And, at night, especially. 933 00:56:13,571 --> 00:56:18,142 And you get the rhythm from driving the track, 934 00:56:18,175 --> 00:56:22,212 and where, sometimes, you talk to your driver on the radio, 935 00:56:22,246 --> 00:56:25,382 and they won't answer you 936 00:56:26,717 --> 00:56:28,586 [Jim] like you are almost in dreams 937 00:56:30,187 --> 00:56:31,822 because everything is very strange 938 00:56:32,690 --> 00:56:35,125 Lights, weather, 939 00:56:35,159 --> 00:56:36,861 racing itself 940 00:56:38,563 --> 00:56:42,633 You know, You must really believe your knowledge of the course, 941 00:56:42,667 --> 00:56:47,304 because you go to an angle in 170-180 miles per hour, 942 00:56:47,337 --> 00:56:52,209 and if you are wrong, you will be very hurt 943 00:56:52,242 --> 00:56:55,580 [Richard] I mean, is dangerous This is dangerous. 944 00:56:55,613 --> 00:56:57,482 You can't escape from it. 945 00:56:57,515 --> 00:57:02,520 This, this kind of tunnel feels when you go through Tertre Rouge, 946 00:57:02,553 --> 00:57:04,288 down long straight then, 947 00:57:04,321 --> 00:57:07,758 Sometimes it can be a little lonely out there, that's weird, this... 948 00:57:07,792 --> 00:57:10,961 You know, sometimes at night You don't see another car 949 00:57:10,995 --> 00:57:14,865 and you might do a radio check, just to check, you know, 950 00:57:14,899 --> 00:57:16,767 Your team is still there [chuckles] 951 00:57:18,469 --> 00:57:22,139 [Larry] We install repeater out along the track, radio repeaters 952 00:57:22,172 --> 00:57:25,576 Our telemetry cannot be overcome with the size of the song, 953 00:57:25,610 --> 00:57:30,581 so if you just try to take everything in and out from the hole, 954 00:57:30,615 --> 00:57:33,350 Mulsanne Corner is too far away. 955 00:57:33,383 --> 00:57:36,153 So you get this repeater out there and you do everything you can 956 00:57:36,186 --> 00:57:38,656 to save radio contacts with the driver 957 00:57:45,362 --> 00:57:48,799 [commentator 1] Return to Le Mans, still light in the sky above the head 958 00:57:48,833 --> 00:57:53,203 Some are cloudy in the sky, It seems, hopefully, we are free of rain 959 00:57:53,237 --> 00:57:55,472 on the run to finish. 960 00:57:55,506 --> 00:57:57,642 Now a little over nine hours 961 00:57:57,675 --> 00:58:00,911 [Jamie] Overnight, Ford and Ferrari go back and forth 962 00:58:00,945 --> 00:58:03,347 And then, at sunrise for the second day, 963 00:58:03,380 --> 00:58:06,551 Ferrari leads and Ford find themselves in second place. 964 00:58:06,584 --> 00:58:07,885 [tire flapping] 965 00:58:20,531 --> 00:58:22,900 [commentator 1] Ferrari really came to live here, 966 00:58:22,933 --> 00:58:25,002 Once we get it darkness last night 967 00:58:26,503 --> 00:58:27,972 Has not stopped since. 968 00:58:31,542 --> 00:58:34,879 [commentator 2] It seems to me, just reading into the 969 00:58:34,912 --> 00:58:37,214 pattern the last six eight hours, Tommy, 970 00:58:37,247 --> 00:58:40,851 it looks like Ford to be a little vulnerable to cooler conditions 971 00:58:40,885 --> 00:58:45,022 and ran behind car speed, don't have lots of tire temps there. 972 00:58:45,055 --> 00:58:49,026 The condition of the track is not that is high either now, so, 973 00:58:49,059 --> 00:58:51,596 It looks like the car isn't so
