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

Ineligible since the project hasn't actually taken course yet. If they fail miserably next year, then they're eligible.

I have a feeling they won't be that bad next year.

My insomnia last night caught up with me and I just took a 2 hour nap. Looks like the #17's still in first but the #18's fallen to fourth and is a lap down? What happened?

And in GTE Pro, the Corvette's in first?! I mean, that's great, but how did that happen? (Though I see the #91 is still doing pretty crappy. )

EDIT: The Abu Dhabi-Proton Racing 911 retired, too? Gah!

Here's something for you all - F1 has a lot of reject teams that have gained cult fan status. Are there any Le Mans projects that floundered, yet have a special place in everyone's hearts?

Loving the coverage of Eurosport of the 24 hours of commercials, damn annoying they sometimes shows us a glimpse of cars racing in a track every once and a while.

Eurosport commercials: "Nissan GT-R LM NISMO, redefining innovation at the 24 hours of Le Mans" Pretty bold claim isn't it?

Honestly, the only way to properly watch this race is with the official stream and radio le mans open.

Always the same 5 too.

I swear I'll know the BMW advert by heart tomorrow.

I still think they look good. 8(

I think the mid-2000s cars looked best. Between around 2004 and 2009.

That's what FOX is for us US users when they actually decide to even broadcast the race.

Not really considering no one else has run a front-wheel drive prototype at Le Mans.

To my understanding hybrids in Nissan cars are turned off ?

Radio Le Mans is the only way to properly listen to the races they cover.

How do you even see out of it?

The sound of 'Murica. There are 850 BE (bald eagles) inside

Yes, they are essentially very expensive ballasts right now.

Fox sports is free and doesnt have commercials.

It says nothing about results. You can have something insane that fails, but it doesn't change the concept.

No hybrid, extra weight of the system, about 450hp, FWD.

How do you even see out of it?

It has an interesting letterbox opening in the cockpit. Looks completely closed cockpit at first glance.

Everytime the Porsche accelerates out of a corner it sounds like it engages warp drive, which isn't far off considering how ballistic these things are

We need more polished metal/chrome rims on the cars.

Damage on the #1 Toyota

"Significant damage" to the #1 Toyota. Race Director ordering #1 to pit.

I'll do my job as responsible forumite and ask for no illegal links or you'll get a visit from admin.

My crap internet sadly is too slow for this.

 

[GTPorsche]

Did the #1 hit the SMP?

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Currently not at home, but I can see that things have gone more or less normally around the track. Oh, and a great GT battle as usual.

I will post my favorite Le Mans floundering project later, when I get home..

But isn't it the job of a mod/admin to enforce forum rules and not the general user?
But I get what you're saying 👍

If the fans want exciting races, they should ask Eurosport to have ad breaks every 30 seconds. Loads of weird things will happen then.
