Why toyota are too slow? Do they have even a low drag package? Because I can't see any difference in their pace compared with the others in the last two races!
 
I'm kinda in love with the Strakka car:

I hope Magnussen wasn't hurt too bad! Looks like he suffered an injury after that hit.

Jan Magnussen was able to walk into the Corvette Racing garage ‪#‎LM24
Good news!
 
How do you tell which OB channel is which? Is there a list saying which number is for which car?

EDIT: I figured it out now, the OB number corresponds to the car numbers. #18 is a 919 Porsche for Example, and #21 is a Nissan. :dunce::lol:

Just seen the J-Mag vette crash, that's nasty, glad to see he walked back to the garage, hopefully they can get the car sorted and be on track come raceday :D
 
One Nissan is currently faster than lmp2 cars. Well done

Funny how 3:37 is the gold time for the GT Academy Le Mans round. As if they knew if you could beat that, you're technically very fast. As if they knew they wouldn't be doing an awful lot better :(.

Although I keep forgetting that is without the Hybrid system, so maybe that's a good thing. Maybe the top times of 3:2x.xxx are actually on par with it's fully-working potential.
 
I think most of the front runners are now in race mode, the laptimes have gone in the mid-low 3:20s. Wonder how little fuel was in the #18 for that 3:16.

Just enough to do the warm up, flying, then cool down laps I bet. Probably came in on fumes haha. :lol:
 
The Porsche 919 just set a new qualifying record at 3:16.887. Meanwhile the Nissan GTR LM Nismo is 20 seconds behind in 12th place for those rooting for them.

fastest lap by #22 GTR LM just now was a 3:36.995 meaning they just got gold! it is funny how that gold trophy is the exact performance benchmark in real life down to thousands of a second
 
They're currently 6,6 seconds off the pace though.

And Porsche is going 13 laps. Theres no way Toyota or anybody is going 14 laps. At this point Toyota's only hope is for all 6 cars in front of it to have a 10-15 minute pit stop delay

But the Porsches had trouble long-stinting their tires at Spa... which might not be 100% revelant this weekend, but still something to take into consideration. And I'm sure they set those sub 3:20 laps with very little fuel and the stickiest tires available to them, the 3:23-4 they were running in the 3rd session are probably more in line with what we'll see during the race.

And if it rains, well who knows.
