Final hour is imminent!

OK, WTH happened since half seven yesterday?

 

[MLDoom]

Just be happy it's an actual international racing series and not a something stupid.

Very true. The other issue is I cannot handle the insane amount of commercials.

Having 3 cars gives you more data to look at in practice sessions.

 

[Falcon787B]

The Aston is 3 laps ahead.

Never mind, I misread the timing screen too

Just follow the online feeds, that's what I've done for the full 24 hours.

Should give you everything you've missed.

There's been so many mechanical issues and crazy things I can't list them all.

 

[Roflwaffle]

I shall have to watch some highlights later.

So happy that Toyota isn't going to get this one.

That's what I have been doing... I have so many feeds open to help supplement the US coverage of the race.👍

Having 3 cars gives you two more cars that can fail or be crashed . Simple as that!

So happy that Toyota isn't going to get this one.

Same here!

Not ecstasic about Audi getting it either, but I really like the team of Audi #2 and I'd be quite pleased if they're the ones who take it. It's a real shame what's happening with Porsche.

 

[G.T.Ace]

It ran it self off track and the Ferrari caught the Audi

Except for the fact it didn't. Lapierre lost control of the car all by himself.

No the 8 blew into that on his own. The Ferrari was following, looked even faster actually, but was not a factor in Lapierre losing it. And that 8 was in and out of the garage during the night with various issues.

Nope, Rob Leupen just confirmed it again, the car got hit from the Ferrari from behind.
The info from Radio Le Mans was wrong.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

I wonder if #14 isn't totally dead but about die and they're just waiting for 10 minutes remaining to get it out and take some nice photos of it crossing the finishing line.

Yeah Audi hasn't won enough of 'm right

Can't go against that, guess I have to believe you (or Rob)

Rubbish. It had no rear damage. None.

 

[Prince.M5]

I just made myself some coffee.. Disappointed with the Porsches but have to stay up till the end!

Was the info from the replay wrong too? The Ferrari looked like it was nowhere near the Toyota when it came flying into frame sidewards. The Ferrari would've braked and not hit the Audi if it had already hit the Toyota.

 

[Ninners]

The Ferrari smashed into the Audi and the Toyota smashed into the wall front first.

 

[HKS racer]

Question here but why doesn't Toyota or Porsche for that matter run 3 cars, seems to be favoring Audi alot.

Also feel for Toyota, was their best chance of a win. With more entries entering LMP1, will only get tougher.

Indeed. I suppose the only reason why Toyota and Porsche are not bringing another car is money.
At the end of the day money always makes the difference.

 

[Carlos]

I personally think it just went into the barriers to avoid taking out other cars.

All the Ferrari hit was the Audi. The Toyota had zilch rear damage.

OK, WTH happened since half seven yesterday?

A swarm of angry Daihatsu Midgets surrounded and attacked the Nr. 7 Toyota, causing it to retire. Some say they're still lurking in the woods, awaiting their next prey.

I don't know about that... the GT car flew into their with a lot more speed than Lapierre and if it hit him it would've been slower. Regardless that 8 car was in and out of the garage over night with its own mechanical problems.

 

[CarBastard]

I wonder if #14 isn't totally dead but about die and they're just waiting for 10 minutes remaining to get it out and take some nice photos of it crossing the finishing line.

Most likely. It still works but it has no 4th gear so what you're saying makes perfect sense 👍.

 

[Roflwaffle]

I'm going to call an Audi win. They're just gonna keep winning until the end of time.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

That's what I was saying

 

[Omnis]

Did this guy on Eurosport just say something like "banging hard cocks," or am I just tired?

 

[Bo]

That's what I was saying

I know. Confirming that the commentator is talking nonsense.

 

[MLDoom]

I think those guys have been up for a LONG time... probably slowly loosing their marbles
