You can't build a great sounding engine and hope to do well in Le Mans.

I guess my comment of attrition aged well. I’ll jinx the race no further…

 

[Savolainen83]

What is going on? Had to visit the throne room and we still have safety cars and a stopped Caddy.

 

[suomi1]

Slow dying car. This always is sad to see..

 

[Rossell2]

I think the safety car is getting hampered by the comedy of car failures and driver errors going on at the moment.

 

[Demon Drone]

We're 3/4 in the race and have already gotten the record for most SC time. Eduardo needs to go. Have wasted a good 2-3 hours with these horrifically stupid SC procedures.

 

[suomi1]

What percentage of fuel is left in the #2 Cadillac?

It's the slowness of it. They try to do what the americans are doing succesfully in IMSA, only in much, much, much, MUCH slower pace.

They should try and get the cars reorganized as soon as possible instead of driving them around lap after lap just because... reasons?

EDIT: just thought about how I would do it:

Once the safety cars are deployed, as soon as possible, gather hypercars behind safety car A in race order, LMP2's behind SC B and GT3's behind SC C.

Then when that's done, release the GT3's after the LMP2's and then the combined group behind the hypercars. Once all are in behind the SC A, release them like in the start of the race.

What percentage of fuel is left in the #2 Cadillac?

I find annoying and inexcusable that this sort of info (plus tyre compound) are missing from the official paid live timming thing.

 

[IforceV8]

2-53%
5-58%

 

[05XR8]

Aww c’mon. Jimini Cricket. Five hours to go.

 

[suomi1]

2-53%
5-58%

Yeah, Ferrari virtually in the lead.

 

[wowbaggerBR]

#2 sounding great and making a gap. Didn't expected it to show some pace this late.

 

[Rossell2]

Caddy 311, blimey.

 

[wowbaggerBR]

Amazing how, when push comes to shove, the #6 simply can't get there. Almost like the car refuses to win.

 

[IforceV8]

#7 lost 6 sec on lap 228 but after pushing some buttons he is back up to speed.

 

[suomi1]

That was the right time for a pit stop from the #2.

 

[wowbaggerBR]

That's a bold move from #50, glad he made it stick.

 

[suomi1]

The #11 Isotta Fraschini is now P16, not a single issue for this car.

 

[Rossell2]

Yeah I doubted Isotta, which considering how fast it got put together, and up against the other teams you might not have given it a chance. It's just happily plodding along. Good on them.

They just need a better driver line up, but they need money too...
Perhaps next year with two cars. This is probably why Vector canceled with them, they wanted their own drivers.

Just underscores how much of a con artist Colin Kolles is.

The #6 is right up there with 4 and a half hours to go. Don't speak too soon

 

[wowbaggerBR]

Meanwhile, #2 putting an ever increasing gap to #83 and #8, both cars that led the most laps and looked consistently fast throughout.

 

[suomi1]

Because of the slow puncture on the #7 Toyota, both #2 Cadillac and #7 Toyota are now on the same strategy.

 

[Savolainen83]

Full course yellow.

 

[05XR8]

Two Mustangs in the top five. Fantastic.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Looks like after many years we're in the dream scenario, so many cars in the top class so close to each other nearing the end of the race.

 

[wowbaggerBR]

WHO CARES ABOUT THIS BOSCH STUFF

 

[Dylan]

83 into the garage with some sort of Hybrid issue possibly
