It's only 9am, why is a golf tournament on FS1?

 

[IforceV8]

Alright who has the most screens up and running? I have 3 going with faux sports 2 on the 50" TV, WEC stream on the 24" monitor, and only 6 tabs open on the 15.6" laptop for RLM,timing,twitter,here,etc.

Because Faux.

 

[catamount39]

Of all the countries...why would France ban alcohol sponsorship?

 

[Northstar]

It's only 9am, why is a golf tournament on FS1?

Because golf is for old folks and old folks get up early.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Glad for the SC start. Had to make a call to my banks fraud protection department to get my card payment to process for the stream.

I live with some so I can attest to this.

 

[Sertsa]

First lap: 8'27"

They're showing it on FS2 for some reason.

Is that why I got up at 3:30? I thought it was because I was excited about the race

 

[ukfan758]

I know that, but the golf tournament could go on FS2 since it's a delay-round.

 

[Furinkazen]

Audi still lead Le Mans, damn it

 

[IforceV8]

Ford Youtube feed has a timing screen with sectors

 

[Bo]

Rain down to level 2. The spray might start clearing slightly now.

 

[spacecowboy73]

I know that, but there's no need to screw up DVR recordings. The golf tournament could go on FS2 since it's a delay-round.

OK, just wanted to let you know if you didn't have FS2. I don't get it either and the schedule I saw earlier this week had the start on FS1.

And what a gorgeous Audi that is.

 

[catamount39]

#67 still 🤬, #68 doing funky strategy.

And what a gorgeous Audi that is.

I smell bull.

 

[Sertsa]

67 Ford is out. Edit - On track that is.

FS1 had the start too when I programmed everything at 2am .

#68 pitted, #67 still in the garage.

 

[Sertsa]

Was mentioning Mazda's being the only Japanese manufacturer to win part of the drinking contest?

 

[CarBastard]

It's interesting how some people on the interwebs are quick to judge and say "OMGZ JUST GO RACING, RAIN DOESN'T MATTER" but an Audi driver said over the radio that the team should tell Race Control that the race shoulnd't start just yet. Surely, we don't know better than them!

BTW: I got chills down my spine when they said Mazda is the only japanese manufacturer to win Le Mans. I know mine's as far from the 787B as I'm far from J.L Borges but hey, thy're related somehow!

 

[Sertsa]

#68 pitted, #67 still in the garage.

Oops. Sorry. And thanks.

So why do the GTE Porsches get listed as 911 RSR (2016) instead of just 911 RSR? Are there 911's from 2015 running in this race?

 

[catamount39]

Ford sounds like garbage compared to the Vette', even at SC speed.

Yes in GTE Am

 

[AnthonyD1993]

If I was a member of Corvette Racing, I'd be terrified right now because the 63 that never got to race last year after crashing is starting behind the resident LMP2 Wrecking ball Krohn Legier.

Yes, the ones in GTE-AM are 2015 spec cars for every manufacturer in an attempt to save costs.

Thankfully that car hasn't been wrecking things as much lately...much...

No worries, it will sound much better in victory lane
