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

[Vinylshark]

The top is the total number of laps at the 5 hour mark for each of the previous years and the second is the laps per hour during the same time span.

Funny enough, after my comment I looked at it again and suddenly it hit me out of nowhere.

Question for all! Which is the prettiest car on the race? For me is the #17 Porsche Dat 917 livery

 

[MustangManiac]

Holy crap, this jalapeno cheddar dip I bought yesterday is almost as hot as those Porsche

Slow zone in the Ford chicanes...

EDIT: Correction: Porsche curves.

Why?

 

[Bo]

Why?

Someone looped it and got running again.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Why?

No idea, nothing to see on the onboard of the Audi passing through. Maybe debris from the Toyota.

EDIT: Thanks @hsv!

Was it a Ligier? Lol.

Holy crap, over 20 pages of comments in 5 hours . I'm on break at work, can someone give me a quick rundown of what has happened so far?

Hopefully this'll be of some help for you...

In terms of livery #97 Aston
In terms of overall design probably the Audi for me.

What I was really surprised by was the size difference between the GTE cars and the LMP1 Audis, I expected the LMP1's to be bigger, but the 458 at least kinda dwarfs them.

The byKolles is the prettiest car I think.

The KCMG Oreca is pretty, especially when it's in the sun.

And you can spot all the details at its speed!

 

[Bo]

Rebellion is nicest. Or SMP.

I like the chrome + blue chrome livery from the #47 Oreca.

Why would you expect them to be bigger? They have always been tiny. And I havennt really noticed any good looking liveries, a 458 looks good from behind though, its got corvette colors.

Well, last year's race wasn't really great for Toyota fans either nor the 6h of Spa

True but atleast they had the pace, now neither pace nor a clean accident free run, still could be worse, they could be Ni.....(gets banned)

The SRT Viper!

That's an interesting choice for sure. For me it's Strakka's Dome S103, now that is a very nice car design. And on that topic, here's my favorite floundering Le Mans car:

(Yup, I have a magazine featuring the car, I wanted to show off, haha.)

Yes, it only did two races, and the second time it raced can't even be considered a proper race knowing Dome's objectives (just set the fastest lap and not bother with the final result), but the S102 was a handsome LMP1 car, which could duke it out with Pescarolo and Oreca, when it worked properly that is.

It is difficult to see however through the smoke in the garage though!

17 Porsche under investigation for overtaking under yellows?

Let me finish that up for you. Nissan. yeah we know there doing bad. But the model that they designed at least has potential. We can see what they tried to do on GT6... unfortunately they messed up a few things and can't run the car we have in GT6.

Welp, I hope there is no repeat of Toyota when it rained last year.

And that would be due to virtual reality not having real world issues to deal with.

Yikes, rain is coming. New song to go along

 

[gt3kid89]

343 kph is the top speed of the #9 Audi. The onboard sound is astounding, like turning on a high-tech laser weapon

It's getting kinda tiresome seeing most of the people who hyped up Nissan when they announced their arrival, and love to beat F1 over the head by hyping WEC's innovation and variety, now laughing at Nissan. Le Mans is usually a 3-year program to win anyway, it took Toyota 3 years to be at least on pace with Audi at Le Mans (and 1-2 to be on pace in WEC) and thats without having a car that breaks every single conventional rule of sportscars in 2015. I love that Nissan have done something different, and I want the cars to at least finish. Also having met and interviewed Tincknell, Chilton, Shulzhitsky and Mardenborough for Downforce Radio, as well as met a lot of the team, I have a lot of respect for them and love their attitude towards motor racing and making it accessible to all fans.
