me paid fia wec stream is freezing up sigh

Sign up for a YouTube TV trial and you can watch it on motortrend if you’re in the US.

As a total novice, would anyone please tell me the biggest differences between these GTE AM cars and group 3 cars in GT7?

Well Buemi has been okay too, it is Hirokawa who has been lackluster. Toyota #8 also has issues with rear brake pressure, which are partially to blame for Hirokawa locking up and spinning into the wall I'd say.

Disagree regarding Buemi. He's cried like a child everytime he's been in the car about everything he could. Hartley got on with it, drove through and around the issues and did his best. Hirokawa did hit the wall, but even still hasn't lit up the timing sheets. Toyota need to start asking questions about their line up, it needs to do better, they've got competition now.

WEC site froze up luckily Eurosport to the rescue.

Toyota need to start asking questions about their line up, it needs to do better, they've got competition now.

That's exactly what happens when you don't run against anyone but yourself. I knew that from the moment they faced real competition, Toyota wouldn't be worth a damn.

second place is not exactly bad. I think you are being overly critical.

That's the way Buemi does business. Did you miss him taking the lead at the start and building a lead?

Toyota sucks so bad they gave them 37kg of ballast to shame them.

Both Buemi and Hartley have done their jobs very well to be honest, and Hirakawa hasn't done too bad all things considered. Just the one time a hint of nerves/lack of experience on his part shows, results in a very significant mistake. Toyota's driver line-ups across both cars are fine in my opinion, including their reserves.

Even with the controversial last minute BoP in Hypercar, Toyota have very much taken the fight to those around them with the increased competition. If anyone thinks they've crumbled under competition, then they going to come across as naïve frankly. Lest we forget the #7's incident was no fault of it's own.

On the softs? No I didn't. But the rest of his stints have been quite poor in comparison.

#8 will need a splash at the end and will probably end up lapped when that happens.

51 also needs a longer splash, though. So I don't see that.

 

[Northstar]

It's sad to think how great this final hour would have been had this not turned into a race of attrition. Was worried about how the BoP would work out with the 2 regulations but they did a great job.

Sweet Jesus I really can’t bear the lagging WEC stream. Like I paid 13€ just to watch a stream that freezes every minute or so, and I need to refresh the page then just to have it running for another minute? The N24 ran perfectly fine and you didn’t even have to pay for it. If this is caused by server overload with people coming in then it should’ve been totally predictable and avoidable seeing how it’s the 100th anniversary and with the return of more than one manufacturer going for the overall win. The only thing that makes it less of a loss is that Toyota is not winning it (again).

Just host it on Youtube if your own streaming service isn’t ready.

I believe it was a number of stints from their bronze driver slowed them down. No accidents.

Yeah the #51 has backed off the pace.

I don't think the "US" LMDh-teams will agree.

#5 Porsche having issues.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Five is stuck at 80km maybe stuck in one of its speed limit settings?

 

[Fezzik]

#51 is stalled in the pits !

 

[Silent Drifter]

Here we go again with the #51 in the pits

 

[MatskiMonk]

If Porsches problem amount to more than a few more minutes, Glickenhaus will have beaten both Pugs, and all the Porsches (and the other non Hybrid Vanwall)

 

[Tired Tyres]

If only the Toyota hadn't been binned.....

 

[Cano]

Man that was some moment

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Charlie is probably saying I've seen this before

 

[Silent Drifter]

709 is off

 

[Tired Tyres]

A glick in the wall.

 

[skazz]

The 709 Glickenhaus wants the Porsche to take the place back :S
