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

In order to classify as a finisher at lemans you must cover 70% of the race distance of the winner. The two nissans are currently at about 65 and 60%. If they can stay on track for the next two hours they should be fine but currently they will not finish the race. While they are not competing for anything it isn't a big deal but as is they will miss out on one of the few honours available.

I doubt they will. You take your 22 out. Put your 23 in. Then 23 out and 22 in!

Guess who's back?

 

[vrwmiaris]

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

Yeah i did,opppsss ;-) :-) :-) :-)

- Nissans will now definitely fail to be classified.

- Bykolles now the only other car not safe.

 

[Legro]

Volkswagen is winning either way...

Think it in this way. There's 1950s Volkswagen Beetle and 2010s Golf TDI, and you can only pick one.

- Nissans will now definitely fail to be classified.

I'm guessing since this was a giant test session, they probably don't care.

Meanwhile, in every class the team I'm supporting, is leading.

The 2 I was supporting.... hint they are both Off pace.

Ferrari caught back up to the Porsche in GTE AM for third.

How long till the ferrari spins?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I have a feeling we've seen the last of the Nissans. None of their feeds are working at the moment, and the last I saw they didn't look like they were in a hurry to get them back out.

 

[sk8er913]

How long till the ferrari spins?

My guess is 14 minjtes. At (2:14)

21 and a half hour test session. And 2 and a half hours of enjoying a VW fight. Lol.

 

[Wavey2014]

Anyone know how long is left?

 

[Bo]

ByKolles Classification Likely iMpossible.

 

[Silent Drifter]

Anyone know how long is left?

2 hours and 25 minutes left

Too bad! But they could collect a huge amount of data, I'm sure they can be pleased in the end.
Drivers will be frustrated a bit, but everyone made great job!

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

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

155.235 mph. But bare in mind that was a quali lap and was minus the chicanes. The Porsche quali lap this year was a 154.85mph average.

Their live stream people said they will still try to get them out even though they won't be classified.

And the guy is saying exactly what I was saying earlier, if you need to test for Le Mans the only place to do it is at Le Mans and so here they are.

Did the Eurosport commentators just shut up for a whole minute??

Yup, best minute of the race

 

[Wavey2014]

Did the Eurosport commentators just shut up for a whole minute??

No
Your speakers more likely broke.

 

[R5]

I've been watching this for about 20 hours now, and the speed and size of the LMP1 cars still amazes me.

Did it run on CH tires or what?

 

[AJ]

Porsche need to do a Peugeot circa 2010 and detonate for Audi to win this now, they have simply spent too much time in the pits.

Is this a hangover from losing some key personal at the end of last year, and bringing in 'not Audi' people to replace them?

 

[NW48]

Audi #7 in the garage, engine cover off.

EDIT- Nope, they're back out now.

Been watching for nearly 22 hours. I think its nap time. But if I take a nap Ill wake up in 13 hours! Lol.

Your jinxing isn't working.

 

[HKS racer]

IT'S CONTADOR!!

No, wait. Just an ad. Why do Eurosport seem to think that I would be interested in cycling?

Welcome to the "24h Of Usless Eurosport Commercials of Le Mans."

One of these days I need to make a trip down to Texas, to watch these cars. TUDOR and Road America is nice and all. But these cars are just cool.

If my jinxing is anything like my predictions, than you have nothing to worry about.
