83rd Running Of The Le Mans 24 Hours - 13/14 June 2015.

[Furinkazen]

Nissan NOT running hybrid systems in the race. Waiting for the ridiculous whingy posts to follow.

NOTE: The 330kph top speed at Test Day was without hybrid power...

 

[fortbo]

Wait, that would be breaking the regulations...

No, the hybrid system is still installed in the car, it just won't be used in the race.

 

[catamount39]

Oh okay...like it's disabled. Hmm k.

 

[CarBastard]

What better excuse for me to re-join GTP than the most wonderful race of the entire year?

Really looking forward to joining y'all in the usual discussion through the entire race. Nothing like the good 'ol folk at GTP to keep things alive during such a marathon!

Besides Nissan's decision to disable the HY system, what other big news have I missed so far?

The AMR art car is ugly (*sigh*), Viper is back in GTE-Am and looking good and the battle in LMP1 is going to be the equivalent of Chuck Norris vs Mr. T vs Bruce Lee.

It's hard because everyone can't stop talking about Nissan...well I should say bashing.

More info from the FIA/ACO people on the official streams:

1. The streams are both from on-board cameras and from external cameras.
2. Yes, the commentary is available in both English and in French.
3. The resolution is 1290p X 720p.
4. You can click the link <http://www.lemans-tv.com/fr/> to find some highlights and news about the race but the video of the whole race is not available [after it's over]. Sorry for that.
5. If you purchase the premium pack, you can stream it on your computer or on your tablet at the same time.

I'll laugh it end "ends up enabled" during the race like some big mystery.

 

[sirgaric]

Weather forecasts announce showers for the Sunday, Saturday seems clear.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Nissan are streaming it live on Youtube. Three onboard cameras and a pit garage camera.

Great, that means I can run timing and scoring on the tablet and the race on the big screen 👍

[Sertsa]

Don't forget the earplugs.

I'm really hoping to make it to a Le Mans some year. For this year it looks like I'll only be able to see it from dash cam feeds.

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

How dare you say such a thing!!!

 

[Sertsa]

Well you want to save your ears enough to still hear at 3AM. (Just Googled and found this).

@Holdenhsvgtsr

I don't know what to make of this design.

Do not adjust your television sets.

 

[Sertsa]

Holdenhsvgtsr - Awesome stuff, thanks!

Your a very humble person aren't you.

Let me guess. This team just so happens to be preparing for qualifying right now?

How much money do you have?!

Sadly the £6.40 euro millions win I offered them was rejected.

 

[MCNAGTROC]

well now not too much lol..but like I told Darren Cox from NISMO at least it went to padding the motorsports war chest a little! Hey honestly I just want to see them bring all 3 cars home after 24hrs this weekend. that will be a big win. we will work on the rest next year when its hopefully a 8MJ AWD car!

 

[Spacegoat]

I feel dizzy and sick just from looking at it.

Yes, glad I'm not the only one. Honestly I can't look at that picture for more than a few seconds.
