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

[GranTurismo916]

This GTE battle is great.

 

[Furinkazen]

GTE awesomeness.

 

[yzfmike]

#18 in pits. Fuel only.

 

[Legro]

Anything is acceptable. 👍

Apart from toilet water.

 

[MarchingSaint]

ooooh that C7 . what it is doing.
Send the p1/2 home, the GTE got this race.

 

[R5]

Apart from toilet water.

Oh...

 

[20832]

I'm baffled by the fact that the Nissan's pace is on LMP2 level, I really expected it to be better/faster. But that GTE battle is awesome, racing at it's finest!

 

[ECGadget]

Porsche not having the best of races... that three cars now with what looks to be similar problems?

 

[GTPorsche]

"It's ten to the hour, so it's time for the GTE update: First, second, third and fourth are all together approaching the Porsche Curves, so there you have it"

 

[Legro]

Oh...

Just wanted to alert the more Bear Grylls-y people.

They are without the hybrid power, so it's expected that they'd be slower.

You could have done a while ago.

I've got bits stuck in my teeth now.

 

[20832]

Ah okay, that explains a lot. How much power are they running then? Around 500hp?

 

[yzfmike]

Yeah strictly just the Engine. Did NISMO have to remove the HY stickers or they just didn't have time to do it?

 

[GTPorsche]

Ah okay, that explains a lot. How much power are they running then? Around 500hp?

Yes.

 

[yzfmike]

Yeah 550 HP or so.

 

[GranTurismo916]

 

[Cano]

Ack I was hoping for the yellow flag to last another 5 hours or so because that's the time I more or less estimate I'm gonna be out. See ya later chaps, I hope for several delays and stuff so I don't miss that much action.

 

[Savolainen83]

Well, at least the Nismo drivers get their arm muscles thoroughly worked out during the race.

I think its starting to get darker little by little on the track. The headlights seem to shine a bit brighter.

I really hope the Vipers would make their return to the GTE-PRO class, we would see even more american muscle on the track.

The quotes I've seen show as low as 450. Certainly no more than any P2.

 

[HKS racer]

Today is officially "Porsche's on fire" day.

And "Nissan left a door open for the future".

 

[20832]

Well, at least the Nismo drivers get their arm muscles thoroughly worked out during the race.

How so?

The quotes I've seen show as low as 450. Certainly no more than any P2.

Wow, pretty sad for Nissan as the actual concept seemed promising.

 

[yzfmike]

Does anyone have info on how data telemetry and radio coms reach the drivers miles from pit lane? Many data repeaters?

 

[catamount39]

WEC stream is the epic!

 

[GTPorsche]

ByKolles has been overtaken by a GT-R.

 

[RACECAR]

"Go and look up on youtube any footage of Tom Kristensen In the Race Of Champions. The contortions that he makes with his face are hilarious"

*Looks on youtube*

Dear gawd, Calvin was right

 

[G.T.Ace]

What's up with the Corvette's taillights by the way?
They're flashing constantly with a very weird frequency. Noticed that since the testday.

Maybe it's the way the camera picks up the LED lights?

It's the refresh rate of the lights not matching the refresh rate of the cameras.
