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

[RACECAR]

My predictions:

LMP1: Audi or Porsche (Thought I'd like for Toyota to win)
LMP2: Unsure. Kinda think perhaps TDS but at the same time, I'm not counting out Oak Racing either.
GTE-Pro: Not liking Corvette's chances now so definitely either AF Corse or AMR
GTE-Am: ...um...let me get with you on that

RACECAR, buddy, I love ya, but those aren't predictions.

As for mine:

LMP1: Gonna go with Porsche, here. They did good last year up until the end. I'm counting on them having resolved those issues, plus a third car to increase their chances speaks well in their favor.
LMP2: Will go with G-Drive Racing for LMP2
GTE-Pro: AMR
GTE-Am: Riley and the Viper.

That's cool, tweet it to Kaz.

Thanks man. 👍 Though it's unfinished and i don't have a twitter account.

 

[Diehardracer]

LMP1: Porsche.
LMP2: G-Drive
GTE-Pro: Porsche
GTE-Am: Not really into the GTE-Am's but I think AMR.

On another note, gutted for Nissan Motorsport. I knew it was gonna be tough for them but to start with all but one of the LMP2 cars ahead of them - the only one that starts behind is Ibanez Racing - really is bad. But this is Le Mans and anything can change at any time.

 

[Tired Tyres]

LMP1 = Red Porsche, Black Porsche, Blue Nissan

LMP2 = Any open top car.

GTE = Any Aston Martin with Gulf livery.

Audi fastest in warm up so far 3:19.423 Don't break the car dude. This is warm up. Nothing good happens in warm up.

 

[Mt. Lynx]

P1 - Audi. Porsche will only get a single car over the line. In second place. But I secretly hope Toyota will win. Nissan will also only get one car to the end, outside the top ten.
P2 - hit and miss between G-Drive and Oak.
GTE Pro - Aston Martin. Inside the overall top ten. Close second Ferrari, followed by Porsche. The 'Vette won't make it. They will try too hard and fail.
GTE AM - Aston Martin. But I riley want the Viper to win :-)

Welp, one Corvette left.

Thanks man. 👍 Though it's unfinished and i don't have a twitter account.

I think he will like it, it's a GT-R afterall therefore we might have a road version one day.

Audi 1-2-3 in mourning warmup

2/3 Nissans didnt even turn a lap

One of the Toyotas turned a lap faster then it qualified

 

[Cobra_GT500]

Does someone have a stream for this? Foxtel isnt showing the whole race so would be good for the parts im missing. Thanks

 

[Earth]

I just checked it and the have it listed at 7:30 am between the Moto GP qualifying and the pit cam feed.

It looks like they plan to alternate between the stream and the TV schedule.

make sure when you search it is showing all of the channels.

Its showing up now on Fox Sports Go

edit: disappears once you sign if you dont have Fox Sports 2.....................

 

[C-ZETA]

Fundamentally the only difference between Porsche and Audi winning is one manufacturer racks up yet another win and the other doesn't. They're both part of VAG so I'm pretty sure one wouldn't mind the other winning.

So on that note I want Toyota to at least try something. Also for Nissan to get one of them to the end I guess, no matter how hard it might be.

 

[RACECAR]

So they say they can't reveal the driver lineup for the Ford GT program but after looking at the trailer, I can pretty much already name you guys one of them right off:


Look at these screens from the trailer:

Now look at this:

Kinda obvious really.

 

[Earth]

Im seeing the changes to the track for the first time. What in the world were they thinking? So much unnecessary runoff. The run from mulsanne corner to Indianapolis use to be beautiful, now its an eye sore

edit: They ruined arnage to the Porsche curves too. Unreal.

 

[NW48]

Does someone have a stream for this? Foxtel isnt showing the whole race so would be good for the parts im missing. Thanks

Fox Sports and Eurosport on Foxtel are showing a large majority, if not all, of the race

Thanks, but is that race start time or telecast start time?

 

[Furinkazen]

Green at 2pm BST correct?

 

[Scuderia Paul]

Green at 2pm BST correct?

Correct young man.

I am all geared up for it now. Breakfast with the Legends race I have recorded then it is into my Toyota gear for the main event.

 

[Famine]

Green at 2pm BST correct?

If you click on the timezone convertor in the link, I've put in a whole flurry of countries and timezones so that no-one has to look anything up. I'm nice like that.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Hopefully Larbre can get their car fixed soon, it would be a real shame to lose 2 of the Corvette's to crashes (in the same corner) before the race has even started.

What happened to them?

Yeah Fox is alright by me. Money well spent this year.

@Furinkazen the car spun at Porsche curves.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

What happened to them?

I'm not sure because I woke up after warm up but saw this still on twitter:

For LMP1 I will be rooting for Toyota as always. Somehow I am hoping they may be able to fight for 3rd, but right now I am not seeing it happening.

I would like the black 919 to win, just because it looks absolutely fantastic. Though I will cheer for Porsche more than Audi. Either way, LMP1 is going to be a massive dogfight, and I am looking forward to it, no matter who eventually comes out as the winner.

In GTE, I would like to see the Vipers do good. I was always a huge fan of the old GTS-R. Somehow I lost some interest in the Porsches ever since the Flying Lizards gave up the sport. But no doubt I want to see an Aston Martin on the top step in its class!
