Big old fat rain Forrest Gump.

Lightning sighted on the NW side of the circuit.

You guys are idiots if you think Ford will finish 1-2-3 in GTE Pro...

AF Corse will win, we all know that.

 

[wowbaggerBR]

Audi is not the same after Porsche comeback.

Come off it. Everyone knows it will end up between Aston Martin and Corvette in the end.

The NA engines must crush those blasted turbos, and they will. *laughs maniacally*

Those overpriced VW Beetles always done well in the few times they appeared at Le Mans.

Interesting that the Aston's are sitting in the garage when it is raining. Something to do with electronics and the wet perhaps?

Rather not push their luck.

If only we had TVR these days... the jokes would be glorious.

 

[Furinkazen]

DRINK. Krohn Ligier off.

 

[IforceV8]

treed.

If they don't crash into someone.

 

[Bram Turismo]

If they don't crash into someone.

Nah, Toyota's going to break down in the first two hours

Uh...I dunno. Mid-1990's GT1? Group 5 maybe? IMSA GTO/U? What was the last GT class with no BoP?

I think 1980's DTM got pretty bad because it became a game of how much money can you throw at a racecar.

PS: Ford all the way. They played a mean game, but we all have our goals.

 

[mister dog]

That new longer front on the Audi's really screwed up its looks IMO

Late 90s, when it became ITC - they were throwing tech in the cars that made F1 look basic in comparison. Amazing machines, not viable in any way.

Track is very wet. I don't think we'll be seeing any changes in the order tonight.

EDIT - Looking undriveable.

 

[PzR Slim]

How long before this is red flagged?

 

[Nielsen]

15 minutes into the session and and I still haven't seen any Q3 footage through WEC's stream. Not acceptable for a paid stream!

 

[Bo]

Finally gone red. Took far too long. Utterly ridiculous.

 

[Tired Tyres]

No monsoon tyres!

 

[Furinkazen]

Safety Car almost crashed.

 

[PzR Slim]

Well held sir!

 

[Bo]

Apparently an ex-RX driver. Definitely shows. Give that man a raise.

 

[Tired Tyres]

That was no accident, He was showing off!

Le Mans is my Christmas as a racing fan and as someone who has loved GT/sportscar/endurance racing all of my life. FOX Sports 1 will likely do all they can to sabotage the coverage, but I'll try to follow this year's race as best as I can. Good luck to all drivers and teams at this year's race.
