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

[Eva]

Uncalled-for.

It gives AMR more of a break. They haven't crashed, but I wouldn't be disappointed if they went to the garage soon.

 

[NW48]

Slippery surface at Zone 6 & 7 and 11 & 12

 

[Omnis]

Track declared wet! Strakka piss still hasn't dried up!

 

[redsoxboy80]

Bamber going into the #19 it looks like.

 

[Speedracer8218]

Oh wow the #22 Nissan put in a 3:35 at some point. Only 18 seconds off the fastest LMP1 time now.

That's just barely gold at GT Academy

 

[G.T.Ace]

Big debris on track. SMP lost a tire. Let's hope the Nissan can avoid it...

 

[Bo]

Seriously, the Bro needs to stop losing tyres, it's as bad as the Ligier spins.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

That's just barely gold at GT Academy

That means whoever did the time is allowed to come back next year

 

[Nexus]

Well, a reboot seems to have fixed things. Ferrari pulled over.

 

[Silent Drifter]

Big debris on track. SMP lost a tire. Let's hope the Nissan can avoid it...

They seem have problems with punctures.

 

[Furinkazen]

Vodka round for every SMP failure.

 

[Omnis]

SMP = SO MANY PUNCTURES!

Raise the car dood.

 

[MustangManiac]

I see not much has changed since my nap.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

It's starting to rain!

 

[Furinkazen]

It's starting to rain!

Where you at? Team tech heads say that Tetre Rouge started raining approx. 10 min ago lightly.

 

[albteman015]

Live timing is showing the 458 in front of the vette but the pass was not shown at all and radio le mans is not even talking about it. I don't understand why as it's the closest battle in all of the four classes right now.

 

[mikeerfol]

Eurosport ad break, rain time!

 

[RACECAR]

Vodka round for every SMP failure.

I'm starting to suspect these drinking games are gonna make a lot of people sick

 

[NW48]

I know it's early, but as an Audi fan, I think we can almost admit defeat. The Porsche's have been incredibly strong and reliable throughout the whole race and I can't see it changing.

Shut up. Don't jinx it. Please.

 

[CodeRedR51]

From a business point of view, they're most likely not quite happy. They went all hipster with their car design for the sake of being different and ended with a car that's almost 20 seconds of the pace and has reliability issues. Remember what Andy Palmer said?

This has been gone over several times, if you'd like I can explain it yet again.

It backfired and I don't think Nissan likes the PR they're getting. Someone at Nissan's probably sweating and losing a lot of sleep right now.

I highly doubt they care.

 

[sk8er913]

"They even have rain categorized." Lol.

At least you got to enjoy most of the race, as a toyota fan we were never in it

 

[NW48]

Shut up. Don't jinx it. Please.

What was that? Porsche have been untouchable all race and seem to be invincible? I know right?

In all seriousness, this is Porsche's race to lose.

 

[AJ]

Hour 20

- (very) Light rain will be here for a while when it arrives.
- Race for the Nissans to be classified now.

SMP = SO MANY PUNCTURES!

Raise the car dood.

Do you know, I just realized Ligier was an acronym too:
LIGIER = Lots of Incidents, Generally Involving Extreme Rotation

 

[Bo]

I highly doubt they care.

To expand on this, your average Joe (AKA 99.9% of people looking to buy a Nissan) will never see articles detailing its results or competition success. All they will see are the generic adverts that talk about their revolutionary technology.

It is, which means because they aren't Audi, they will.

It was 10 minutes 20 minutes ago!!!
