[Touring Mars]

Gutting for the WRT team - very difficult conditions out there

 

[suomi1]

Yay! Go Cadillac!!

 

[suomi1]

DT penalties for cars 4 - 12 - 23. That #4 Porsche collects them.

 

[IforceV8]

Crossover time has been reached, time for slicks.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Since the commentators mentioned Toyota has been pretty clean and trouble free so far, what misfortune will befall them this year? Reliability? Taken out by a Ferrari GT car?

 

[suomi1]

Weather forecasts are still unsure for tomorrow morning (from 5:00 AM). Some shows heavy rain staying south of Le Mans, others are seeing it right over the track. The second option looks more reliable from what I can observe above the Atlantic.

Let's see..

 

[Savolainen83]

One of the Peugeot's having a moment.

 

[Sgueji]

Nice night session for Toyota. I'm rooting for them! 💪🏻

 

[desmodan]

It's been an interesting first few hours but I can't say I'm enjoying the flashing tail lights.

 

[IforceV8]

They lifted the slow zone right after the leading Toyota entered costing it 6 sec to 2nd place Porsche #6.

 

[desmodan]

Gutted for rossi

 

[IforceV8]

Rodney Sandstorm gets punted by a McLaren.

 

[suomi1]

Gaps increased quickly after the restart, LMGT3 is where the fight goes on now.

 

[IforceV8]

Rain is coming, again.

 

[suomi1]

Rain is coming, again.

That will help Cadillac a bit.

 

[IforceV8]

 

[05XR8]

Lexus looking good. Thirteen hours to go.

 

[suomi1]

#24 in the gravels again.

 

[NotThePrez]

Another LMP2 loses one of its wheels. This time it's the Left-Rear of the #45 Crowdstrike car.

Probably engine failure at the last lap 😅

 

[suomi1]

See these cars racing in the rainy night.
Please PD give us back the particle effects as they were when the game was released... At least one option to do so.

 

[05XR8]

At least half the Hypercar field are on the lead lap. Good stuff.

 

[suomi1]

This crew of mechanics around the #77 Mustang looks very voluntary, they worked a lot since the start of the race and never gave up. Beautiful.

 

[toastet]

Porsche had a starter battery in LMP1 which could keep the starter running for a full lap to have the chance limping back to the pits if fuel was empty or other shenanigans around the engine and prevent the Toyota last lap scenario one of the ex Porsche drivers told that in the german broadcast some hours ago (Audi too). Maybe some teams adapted it today.

 

[Savolainen83]

Safety cars.

 

[suomi1]

Safety cars.

If they don't wan't them to race under the rain, then why they just don't red flag the whole thing? Stupid...

 

[05XR8]

If the #78 doesn’t pit, it’ll probably be the first time Lexus leads a race at Le Mans.
Edit: Dagnabbit!

 

[toastet]

Doesn't red flags freeze intervalls in LM? Big mess when continueing and having to calculate intervalls.

 

[Downhill Dino]

??? So what exactly is going on? I'm watching on Motortrend so I had a long commercial break after the safety car started. We really not gonna race in the rain?

 

[suomi1]

If the #78 doesn’t pit, it’ll probably be the first time Lexus leads a race at Le Mans.
Edit: Dagnabbit!

They led the race at H+8.
