Qualifying is on - tracker updated
The qualifying is on and I have updated the tracker with the latest links. But, not everything works. The Le Mans web team is notorious for having rather strange system - and so the French version is fully updated, where the English version is not. I can only hope that they "get their act together" soon.
We had the same problems during the race last year. There were several occasions where only the French part of the Le Mans website was up-to-date.
It is one thing that I simply do not understand. Do they update each site manually?
Because if they used a proper database system both sites would be instantly up-to-date regardless of the language - we are talking telemetry data.
So, for now you can download the tracker, and choose "French" as your language.
Get the Live Tracker
Baekdal.com's Le Mans viewer allows you to see the Chronos (standings), News, Race Events, Photos, and the Entry list in a single interface. It is a great way to keep up-to-date with the event from qualification to the 24 hour race.
It uses the publicly available race data from the official Le Mans website.
Status: June 14, 16:24:00 CET
Tracker changed (again): Race Events now displays English data on the English page. Lemans.org have added the wrong link to their page.
How to use:
Download the tracker, unzip the file and double-click on the HTML file inside it.
Note: requires IE7, Firefox 2.
