Is it just me or is there alot more GTE-Pro coverage this year than in the past?

I'd say so. Might have something to do with the fact that there's not much to see in the P1.

Probably but then again the GTE Pro battle is even more awesome than usual.

#88 retired.

My cable box just decided to reboot

The fate of the boomy boys now lies in the hands of 63. My guess is that Corvette Racing is going to pull a 2015 and put all resources into the 63 now.

Replace Rockenfeller with Gavin. I'd say or Milner but he can get careless sometimes.

Nakajima 2 seconds clear of Lopez!

Vergne leads in LMP2 following a pass on Negrao.

Agree with this. Gavin seems to know the car the best out of the three.

 

[PzR Slim]

Lopez outbraked himself to let Nakajima past.

Edit: #64 officially a retirement now unfortunately.

Dammit, why did I have to go to the bathroom without my phone? Or go to the bathroom at all?? Only 10 seconds to second though, this could yet turn in No.63's favour.

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Full course yellow...

I love the countdowns to green that the spotters give to the drivers after a FCY. Hope that this can be implemented in future games.

Not anymore, I missed it. What happened? When night falls I tend to lose interest a bit as it's hard to watch headlights straight at the screen followed by darkness and flashing red strobes.

The fight for the lead in LMP2 doesn’t show any signs of slowing down – #26 G-Drive currently leads #36 Signatech by next to nothing.

Its the race control/race director who does the countdown to green after FCY.

I wish some technology existed that could make it so TV cameras in front on views could mask the headlights somehow without blocking the picture so we could see the actual cars instead of just blinding light. Some of these shots are pure headlights, cant see anything.

Edit, I was just in the middle of typing this then afterwards I saw this post

They should use the same camera lenses as the onboard ones. The ones that confuse the commentators into thinking that the car in front's tail-lights are malfunctioning.

Nighttime at Le Mans is always a fascinating sight. I am always tickled pink seeing the lights come on battling this just-under 8.5 mile course through the night. It's been a pretty good race from what I've seen so far with plenty more hours to go.

Decreasing the size of the aperture could help. Trouble is the amount of light “seen” by the camera would be so little that by the time the cars pass the camera post, whatever shots they get in normal conditions would be nigh-on impossible to see.

Well, they are going to show a lot more onboard angles because of the headlights issues like some of you mentioned.

I'd rather they show more helicopter shots. The ones near the stretch from the Dunlop bridge to the start of the Mulsanne are beautiful.

Le Mans at night, there is nothing better!

 

[Savolainen83]

I hope they'd show more of the safety cars whenever we might get them.

The Nordschleife is great as well.

The people attending that concert don't seem to think so...

#98 Aston stopped and smoking.

Great heli shot through the Porsche Curves!
