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

[AnthonyD1993]

I'm really thankful that FOX in the US features the live stream for the 64 Corvette. It's really useful for drowning out the terrible tv coverage that FOX is giving us US users.

 

[MustangManiac]

Right, Porsche back in the lead, all is right with the world...except my Ferrari's in P2 for both classes.

 

[GTPorsche]

The other two drivers in the 22 are Krumm and Al Buncombe.

 

[Cano]

Daaaamn the Vette and Aston

 

[Northstar]

Things are not looking good for the Corvette's.

 

[Pete05]

Who are the other 2 drivers in that car?

Tincknell is co-driving with Michael Krumm and Alex Buncombe

Edit: Treeed

 

[RobertM525]

Ya know what'd be nice? If there were different dedicated streams for each class. I didn't even see when the #95 Aston passed the #51 Ferrari in GTE Pro.

Pitfalls of multiclass racing, I know, but it still stinks.

 

[Coiler]

The second where you hit the wall counts for a lot more though!

Been there seen that They have no other choice right now.

The other day I began what is hopefully long term casual work with a guy who valets cars - so I will be around cars most time which is great for me as a car fan. At the end of what was my very first day I had doubts about whether I would learn all the products. There is so many. I really was just moments away from packing it in. Giving up my desired job of a valeter because I didn't think I could learn all the products and how they are to be applied.. Something I have always wanted to do.

Comments please?

This isn't very Le Mans-y.

On Toyota's first year back at Le Mans, they were right there in front, fighting with Audi.

Good for them! Did they have a FWD overweight LMP2?

Porsche weren't as fast as Toyota, on their first go, but certainly nowhere near as slow as Nissan currently is.

Because they turned up with a package intended to win that year, or at least be in contention for it. Point invalidated.

If all you're going to do is pull Nissan jibes for 24 hours, nobody here wants to hear them.

 

[CodeRedR51]

So yeah. I'm not seeing your point. Nissan is performing abysmal.

Well that will happen when you're making half the power and using half the drive wheels of the cars you are running against. The car is in active development, this is a nice test session for them to obtain vital data.

That would be cool, one for lmp and one for GT.

Technically all of LMP1 are in active development...

 

[Ameer67]

#40 slipping at 1st chicane.

 

[Furinkazen]

Tracy Krohn spins. DRINK!

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Daaaamn the Vette and Aston

Welcome to the GT class in Le Mans, Cano; there will always be a crazy battle going on, even when the LMPs calm down...

Meanwhile, Krohn's LMP2 is facing the wrong way, a spin in one of the Mulsanne chicanes.

 

[Panoz]

Tracy Krohn doing what he does best.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Woah what happened? Left the room, now Audi has fallen back and Toyota in 3rd (no longer). The pit stops must've really hurt them.

 

[Jawehawk]

How was the DeltaWing a joke? The car performed better than anyone expected until Nakajima pushed it off the road. If Don Panoz wouldn't be such a stubborn old guy, the whole project could've been something else.

Where? Based on its qualifying results, it's performance was in the lower end of LMP2. So where does it fit in? In it's own series? Okay, then why is it driving at Le Mans. I realise it was a Garage 56 car, and as such, it's entirely experimental, but I don't see how it fits into the Le Mans race itself. In the end, it was a hard to see roadblock for the P1's.

But yeah, I'll grant you it performed decent. It just didn't have any place in the actual race.

 

[Bo]

Tracy Krohn spins. DRINK!

Thanks for reminding me I haven't done the drinking game rules yet.

 

[Savolainen83]

AF Corse Ferrari off track at the start of Posche chicanes.

 

[Cano]

Tracy Krohn spins. DRINK!

So, every spin, a drink?

 

[Coiler]

If only Porsche can dubble/triple stint the tires we will see an even race till the very end.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Krohn's LMP2 is facing the wrong way

No, it was the correct direction, Tracy Krohn was driving.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

No, it was the correct direction, Tracy Krohn was driving.

Ah, I see, it's the running gag for Krohn if the boss is driving. Guess I learned a new drinking game for this race... if I drank, that is.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

If the drinking game this year is to drink when Krohn/ or Ferrari go off, I won't even bother because I'll be too drunk to even pay attention to the race.

 

[Bo]

but I don't see how it fits into the Le Mans race itself.

Then your problem is with Garage 56, not the Deltawing.

In the end, it was a hard to see roadblock for the P1's.

Then you must have a problem with every GT car, not just the Deltawing.

 

[Legro]

You know what's bad about 24H races? I really need to go to the toilet, but I don't want to miss anything.

Idk on fox they are showing GT am and on the phone with tom kristensen about how retirement feels.... :|

Move the toilet to your TV.

It just kind of parked.

That's what mobile devices are for.
