2023 FIA World Endurance ChampionshipSports Cars

[Rossell2]

I'm currently watching the 100th Le Crash Mans.

 

[Jezza819]

Impatient LMP2 driver causing a crash.

A real stupid move by the LMP2 car.

 

[Tired Tyres]

GTE and LMP2 cars are dropping like fly's

 

[Bram Turismo]

It's like the LMP2 and GTE field is a bunch of amateurs... In all sessions so far we've seen so many crashes and red flags.

 

[skazz]

And we didn't even have the rain yet. The fun is about to start

 

[Obelisk]

Aren't LMP2/GTE both Pro-Am classes?

 

[Betty blue]

A lot of low quality driving tbh.

 

[dacc10]

This race has been amazing so far when it comes to the hypercar class.

 

[Vinylshark]

So much reckless driving early on. If that keeps going on like that there won't be a lot of cars surviving the night.

 

[Savolainen83]

Heavy rain reported at marshall post 30. Dunno where that is located.

I don't find it any worse than previous years, to be honest.
Rain has arrived

 

[skazz]

No intermediate tyres for the hypercars sounds amazing. If the track is half wet and half dry they will all stay on slicks, and cars will crash.

 

[Tired Tyres]

I hope Kaz is watching this.

[Famine]

Total Gran Turismo move from the United Autosport car.

Edit: The Peugeot seems shocking in slow corners, but blew past the Ferrari in the wet...

Thanks.

 

[skazz]

That's not "slightly wet". That's "downpour on part of the track"

Booo, safety car.

Edit: Holy crap it's aquaplaning

 

[Savolainen83]

Safety cars! Might be a case for red flag seeing how many cars are spinning.

 

[Obelisk]

One of the GTE AM cars is already struggling at Porsche curves. #100 has spun off into gravel. Massive downpour on that area of the track. Interesting that the 9x8 seemed to do better in the damp the first time around than its rivals.

E: Glickenhaus #709 pulled over. Cadillac LMDh went for a huge spin. GTE AM leader wiped out right behind it and hit a wall. We're losing a lot of cars and the SC has only just come out

 

[Northstar]

 

[Tired Tyres]

Aaaand the safety car is out again.

 

[Silent Drifter]

#3 Cadillac just barely missed that barrier.

 

[MSZ]

lol It's a crash fest with so much rain on the track.

 

[Obelisk]

That Glickehaus just barely avoided getting torpedo'd by that spinning Ferrari.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

It's like watching an online race in a Gran Turismo or Forza game. Spins everywhere.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Good call on the safety car with that river running across

 

[Famine]

The Glickenhaus almost got absolutely destroyed. There must have been contact, even if it was just paint.

 

[Rossell2]

Wow that was one crazy moment. Reminds me of that hailstorm at the Nurburgring a few years back.

 

[Michael88]

Man that looked exactly like when I drive at LeMans in GT7 and it starts to rain when I'm on slicks. I just propeller down the track into the pits.

 

[NotThePrez]

The Glickenhaus almost got absolutely destroyed. There must have been contact, even if it was just paint.

I must either be quite ahead or behind, what happened? Did something happen with the Glickenhaus car while it was pitting?
