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

[SPE]

It's pretty incredible for Nico to come to Le Mans during his Formula One season and win. Outright. This year for me was a fantastic race, even though I'm a really big Audi fan I'm glad Porsche have returned to the front and taken the fight right to them. There was so many fantastic battles throughout the field throughout the entire race!

Until next year, when I'll be visiting this great race for the very first time in person! I can't imagine I'll ever tire of endurance racing! A sleepless weekend well spent, as always.

 

[G.T.Ace]

So sehen Sieger aus, SCHAAAAA LAAA LA LA LA!!!!!!

 

[C-ZETA]

Think I clocked 18 hours total of the race watched. Took a break between 3 and 9. Definitely a new record for me.

If there was one Porsche I wanted to win it'd be Hulk's, I hope he starts a trend and gets himself a bigger seat. Superb.

Anyone for a bit of GT6 now? Le Mans, of course. LMPs. Maybe LMGT later. I have a room open.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

And so, the German anthem plays, as the Porsche drivers can revel in their victory... It's the end of an almost 20-year drought for Porsche in the king of all classes. How strange must it be to see this sight again for an old Porsche fan, huh?

 

[Vinylshark]

I wonder if Hülkenberg will cancel his Force India contract at the end of this year

 

[Silent Drifter]

I managed to stay up 25 hours now, with only 4 hours of sleep before the race, and watched all of it. Had to switch stream sources here and there.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I saw 17h and was watching this thread throughout. It was great to share it with you all!

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Next year is shaping up to be absolutely sensational. I would love to see Toyota and Nissan on pace. The only possible way for this to get better if Mazda stuns the world with a 4 rotor-turbo hybrid or a big V8 powered Sauber. GTE should be sensational too. It would be great to see a factory backed Viper in the fray with Corvette Racing and Ford Performance.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Just lined up my 1:64 scale model Porsches...

 

[MarchingSaint]

lol at the porsche drivers showing off the rolex.

 

[IforceV8]

I wonder what Alonso and Button are thinking today.

I said it before, and I'll say it again, I can see Niko having a bright future in WEC, especially since he has such an amazing works team like Porsche behind him. Especially in this season, Force India seems to be quite a bit behind the pace and it's simply not a team suited for his abilities and talent.

But again, if he wants to continue in F1, so be it. As soon as he doesn't have a seat anymore or ends his career in F1 I can see him going full-time into WEC, just like Webber.

It's nice to see the Corvette survive the game of attrition that was the GTE Pro class after losing a car before the race even began. Winning the class on top of it is even nicer.

+1
Way to go Corvette Racing

 

[Hofstee]

Wooow fox cutting off before the awards complete.

 

[Vinylshark]

I wonder how much money you could get for one of those victory trophys

 

[Tushar Sariya]

so does anyone know why the porsche was faster than audi in the pit stops? it was something like a 5 second difference every time and it won them the race.

 

[Wavey2014]

So... I can finally sleep. 24 Hours.. Wow. Must admit I was falling asleep through that... But what an experience it was.

 

[Silent Drifter]

Wooow fox cutting off before the awards complete.

Got to air that show, whatever it's called.

 

[MarchingSaint]

am i wrong or there's an awful lot of people this year?

 

[Vinylshark]

Can't wait to see the GTE next year with 3 Ford's and maybe a second or even thrid Viper as well.
Hopefully Viper will be in the GTE Pro next year.

 

[Northstar]

Wooow fox cutting off before the awards complete.

Whoever did the commentary for WEC did as well, now it's just the stream with French rambling in the background.

 

[C-ZETA]

Now that Eurosport are done, think we'd better close them off by asking; whose advert do we think they showed the most?

 

[fortbo]

Congrats to Porsche from an Audi Fan.

 

[G.T.Ace]

am i wrong or there's an awful lot of people this year?

250.000+ no tickets available since 4 weeks.

 

[Hetare21]

Congratulation on making a perfect race Porsche.

This is 100th time I listen to them German national anthem... TBH I want to listen to others...

 

[20832]

Can't wait to see the GTE next year with 3 Ford's and maybe a second or even thrid Viper as well.
Hopefully Viper will be in the GTE Pro next year.

If I remember it correctly SRT has shut down the motorsports program through

 

[Diehardracer]

I wonder what Alonso and Button are thinking today.

And what are Ferrari thinking right now?

 

[MarchingSaint]

Now that Eurosport are done, think we'd better close them off by asking; whose advert do we think they showed the most?

Shell.
it was amazing, unfortunately we have to wait another 365 days for another race.
it was great bt now, it's GT6 time.

 

[Vinylshark]

Now that Eurosport are done, think we'd better close them off by asking; whose advert do we think they showed the most?

The Audi one. I don't remember a single commercial break without it being showed.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

The marketing potential of this win is mammoth especially with Porsche transitioning to 4 cylinder engines in the near future. Too bad they aren't V4s
