2017 General WEC/ELMS/AsLMS Discussion ThreadSports Cars

[Panoz]

Only following the timing while working can anyone tell me why happened to the #1 porsche?

Two tire punctures and a front gearbox change happened to the #1.

These P1 drivers better get it together before the 24LM or none of them are going to last the whole race!

Daniel Kyvat is looking on with great interest though.

Give him a seat in a Ferrari and the whole prototype field won't finish.

Astons misjudging their pit lane limiters.

Radio LeMans had said that it was the organizer's fault. Their speed trap had to be reset.

Tor Graves.

Finally on the stream and wow, first thing I see is the Rebellion taking out the Manor car while the Alpine just runs right on by.

Indeed, there really isn't a single LMP1H car that you can consider to be reliable.

Rebellion winning Le Mans?
Well if Trump can be president, anything is possible!

 

[MustangManiac]

Maybe the Ford GT has a shot at the over-all win for their 50th anniversary after all

 

[IforceV8]

I am so sick of seeing these mechanics blocking the camera from seeing their broken car is if anybody was looking to steal their broken technology.🤬

 

[MustangManiac]

Are you kidding me...the lead #5 is now going up in smoke!

 

[IforceV8]

Oh what a feeling.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Toyota No

 

[G.T.Ace]

Of course, the pictures are back in the car I'm rooting for goes up in smoke.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Question, where has the Toyota pace come from, they were a bit behind last race.

Let's hope they didn't do a Peugeot and blew a turbo here to get some extra power out of the car.
I'm sad, meh.

 

[catamount39]

Ford GT out by the looks of it too, turbo go bye bye.

Still getting used to the car.

 

[MustangManiac]

No, not one of the Fords

 

[IforceV8]

Today Toyota made the right choice and running a higher down force level compared to Audi and Porsche. Audi have learned that the Capt. Overbite aero package is quick in a straight line but the things understeers like a bus. Porsche is still the same as last year, fast in short bursts but on the edge of exploding at any moment.

This whole thing makes me anxious about Le Mans. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Rebellion or even LMP2 win... Man, I hate turbo engines. lol

See if they had the NA V8 like last year they'd be fine.

 

[G.T.Ace]

See if they had the NA V8 like last year they'd be fine.

Or at least a modernized version of it.

 

[fortbo]

Yes!!!Go Audi!!!

Hopefully the pace they've shown is indicative, and the reliability not

I swear, in a few hundred years when we have warp drive there will still be people pining for the good old days of the NA V8 Don't get me wrong, I love them, I grew up racing 400+ cube MOPAR Hemi V8s back in the 70's, they are great fun and sound fantastic. But don't you think top tier motorsports should be showcasing the latest & greatest in tech?

Can't risk a bop adjustment before Le Mans can they.

 

[catamount39]

And the other Ford GT is scrap metal.

Can't risk a bop adjustment before Le Mans can they.

So the other one purposefully ruined the chassis?

 

[G.T.Ace]

Holy crap, that was nasty! Let's hope Mücke is okay.

 

[IforceV8]

Can't risk a bop adjustment before Le Mans can they.

They might be hiring some new mechanics though...

 

[catamount39]

Marino's okay, leg a bit hurt but nothing serious. Thank God.

It was Mucke.
