So whats happened in the last 10 minutes other than a new lap record?

 

[Savolainen83]

Porsches have no problems and they are going to dominate this year.


Jinx'd, hopefully.

Another ligier spin

New fastest lap, incredible! Feel so awake and excited for these last 3 hours now. Who needs sleep?! Go Audi, Go!

 

[mikeerfol]

best guess is that he's trying to keep the pace without risking much.
Watching the race made me think that next generation racing games need the possibility to duct tape your car when a damage happens.

GT7 pitstop

Fuel (Litres)
Tyres
Duct tape (Yes/No)

Stop that

Posting such things about Nissan are not met kindly by some people here.

Well, they're intertwined with Gran Turismo and Kazunori and all that. Not like I didn't knew what I was getting myself into

@R1600Turbo, Palmer's words, not mine. Guy said it himself, you don't go there just to participate. Cut the bias for a second, this certainly is not what they went there for - nor is it the kind of PR any manufacturer wants. Nothing there to explain, really.

Dude you missed everything! Too much to explain. Worst time ever to miss 10 minutes ......... But in all seriousness, not much.

Hope Webber wins the race, he deserves it after he couldn't win f1 title

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

3:17.475 = 154.39mph average speed.

Ok cool. But just wanted to warn you because it doesn't take much to escalate it on these forums.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I also hope we see a stronger Hybrid engine.

If you mean the hybrid system, yeah their goal is 8MJ so we'll see. As far as the actual engine goes, plenty strong already. 👍

Yeah well the guy doesn't work for Nissan anymore, so moot point. My last post sums it up nicely.

Hate to disagree but I'd say there's a reason he didn't. He might get a nice Rolex if the sister car croaks.

Think he'll be calling for an IndyCar seat if he gets a Le Mans win...gotta get that Triple Crown, haven't you?

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

He didn't win the F1 title because he wasn't good enough, he isn't the best driver in his current team either.

 

[MustangManiac]

Porsche to Audi "You can have the lap record, we'll take the trophy...thanks".

 

[Bo]

Bro.

 

[Silent Drifter]

9 back in garage again. Still something not right on it?

I'm a Webber fan too. Wouldn't mind seeing Hulkenberg win either since he's too heavy to get a competitive drive in F1.

 

[Ninners]

Hoping the #19 wins it. They have been brilliant and haven't made any mistakes as far as I'm concerned. Also great to see Hulkenburg finally getting a chance in a competitive car 👍

 

[AJ]

Just a reminder that Toyota are also taking part in this race, I can understand if anyone has forgotten.

 

[CodeRedR51]

#23 in, #22 out. @hsv

What's Toyota? Do they make fridges?

Haha, I know right!

I was really hoping for them to win it this year. But sadly the car had been out developed by Audi and Porsche.

Unless I missed something, they have had zero issues. They're just slow.

Eh a shame that they couldn't be more competitive.

Anyone have the lap time of the amazing C9 '89? We should compare times.

 

[Bo]

Toyota are a prime example of why tanks don't work in modern endurance racing.

 

[C-ZETA]

If Hulkenberg wins then F1 drivers have no excuse if there isn't a GP on at the same time, they should try Le Mans no matter what. Granted the possible seats are few and far between, one of the LMP1s uses Williams tech so there's that but apart from that, it's probably only Ferrari in GTE that could do it, and they'd only be able to push for class wins. Unless Red Bull does its thing and takes over a team, or Lotus decides it's still the Kolles car after all, there aren't many seats...

...but then again, it's Le Mans, so who gives a ****??
