need advice: better to leave now and continue in the morning or wait another 3-4 hours and then sleep?

 

[Wardez]

Wow Luminis, you're being quite a negative nancy here so far, easy to be condescending. I realize HKS is non the most informed, by it's best to just leave it, not gonna gain anything trying to stomp him out.

Buy some RedBull, order a pizza, and watch the remaining 15 and a half hours 💡.

I saw where the guy driving the ferrari that hit Ant and the Toyota said that he saw the Toyota coming and intentionally didn't move and said it was Ant's fault. Piergiuseppe Perazzini almost kills someone with his stupidity and blames the other guy. Hopefully they do not let him race ever again.

Stop trolling.

You trolling. Blue flags exist for something.
Usually when you have the 4 Leading cars in battle behind you = GTFO ASAP !
Don't even try the aphex, just lift off and let them racing.

Sleep now for 6 hours and then come back to see the sunrise LIVE.

coffee
Coffee.Coffee.Coffee.Coffee.Coffee.Coffee.


That is my advice.

I'd sleep now. Sunrise is pretty epic

 

[Scalage]

Guys this was soooo long ago. Let it go and watch the current racing!

 

[comu]

If you are rooting for Toyota go to sleep, if you are rooting for audi go to sleep, if you want to watch the GT cars stay awake for 2 or so hours then go to sleep.

Toyota needs to employ some troll physics:

Are you even trying anymore? The Deltawing was on the outside. He didn't try going for the apex and cut anyone off. He didn't pull in like the Ferrari did on Davidson. He didn't ever try to force his line. Everyone else got by him without incident. Even Nakajima was mostly by him at the time.





And the Nakajima drove into him anyway.

I'd say wait 3-4 hours before sleep because night racing is cool

+1. I remember my own 24H du Mans (gt5!). The sunrise is sublime.

The second I'm confronted with less negativity, I'll stop being this negativ myself. Simple as that

 

[CodeRedR51]

Pescarolo was having problems even before the race with booth cars.

If it wasn't for the Delta Wing being there when Nakajima was tring to pass an Audi we will still have a 24h battle. Watch the video, just a slow ass making traffic to the the LMP1s in battle!

Dude, just give it up already.

Red Bull doesn't do that to me, actually. No chemical seems to work well to keep me up. Coffee and other hot beverages work because they're hot. Or just about anything that "awakens the taste buds".

Awaken your senses and you'll awaken your mind.

 

[SubaruWRC555]

slow ferrari on front straight

 

[Pilitev]

Only a couple of hours later and we have 4 audi's in the lead with the number #3 catching up on the rebellions

 

[Cano]

Bad news for 97 aston via Allans Simonsen.

Game over for us at LM. It started well and we got the car in the lead of our class.. On positive note I guess I get to sleep tonight..

That is VERY sad. That was the car that Adrian Fernandez was co-driving, too. One less mexican to cheer for.Noe all is down to "Chapulín" Díaz and Ricardo González. Even worse because Fernandez was by far the one with most experience at LeMans. Bummer.

Just ignore him already. He clearly isn't looking for a constructive and reasonable discussion, he just want's people to accept his point of view as flawed as it may be.

Ok, here you go HKS Racer, I'll say it: It was the Deltawing's fault for even existing. At the mere sight of the TS030, Satoshi Motoyama should've steered directly into the gravel by his own will and should've shot himself immediatelly. We're all wrong, you're right. Deltawing blows and you are, clearly, much, much, smarter than the engineer who designed it.

Happy? Can we move on now?

 

[C-ZETA]

I think I'm gonna miss the finish of this...I have tickets to the Motorexpo tomorrow, and revision to do as well. No way am I gonna be free at 14:00 GMT to see the finish of the race...

They DID say the DW was hard to see.
It does have a low profile and not a lot of whiteness and junk to help it stand out.

Maybe if they painted it bright yellow.. or a fleshy peach.

LIFT the 🤬 feet from the damn throotle. That's what HRT and Marussia guys do when the leading cars are coming.
Delta wing driver is a noob.
