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

[GTPorsche]

#21 Nissan in the garage for something. And Nissan's stream is broken, it shows the feed from the #21 car on both it's own channel and the channel for #22.

Front brake change.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Front brake change.

Yeah I could see the driver pumping the brake pedal after I posted.

Edit: Commentators just made a good point, we are now past the race length of a standard WEC race and all 3 Nissan's are still running.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Rob Leupen from Toyota just told on Eurosport: Parts for next year's TS050 are manufactured now, they want to drive in the 8MJ class, with a battery, no super capacitor, new engine, most likely less cylinders.

EDIT: They might consider a hydrogen hybrid in the future, if the technology will be there ("only a question of time").

Eurosport has switched to Eurosport 2 so I'm flying blind right now.

:censored:ing brilliant, and another reason the BBC should do Le Mans.

Is foxsports.com still on?

Is that an achievement

Is there a possibility that the TS050 will replace the TS040 mid season?

 

[GTPorsche]

Is that an achievement

Considering most people though the car wouldn't make it beyond the first hour... yeah.

Is foxsports.com still on?

yeah

 

[CodeRedR51]

Is that an achievement

For their first full race, sure.

#21 back on track.

Front brake change.

The lead engineer told jay Leno that they would last 23 hours.

 

[20832]

For their first full race, sure.

I see, because it sounded like that they've competed in the other 6h races and didn't make it, at least not with all 3 cars.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Is there a possibility that the TS050 will replace the TS040 mid season?

No, they need more time, they hope and it looks like it'll premier in Silverstone next year.

 

[GTPorsche]

The lead engineer told jay Leno that they would last 23 hours.

23 hours would be an achievement for a first full race attempt.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

Eurosport mentioned the AER for Toyota which doesn't seem right. Any major manufacturer would want to build it's own engine.

I'm putting my money it being a development of the new Toyota SuperGT engine.

The TS050 will not replace the TS040 during the season as it is not due to run until January.

With the hybrid system.

Rob Leupen sounded more like they're currently developing in house, makes more sense anyway.

 

[lGNAl]

Avenatti not doing so well in the #66. Falling behind nearly half a second every few laps. 👎

Probably tires, but He was in 6th now 7th.

He just got back some time in the last lap. Finally some effort.

 

[Furinkazen]

That Rebellion has some decent speed.

 

[sk8er913]

With the hybrid system.

What would their lap times be like with a 2mj hybrid system? Lol

They corrected themselves after (or at least they did when they had the ex-Toyota aero engineer in the commentary box) and clarified that they meant Rebellion have taken AER engines instead of the old Toyota Super GT engine.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Michael Krumm (Nissan): "Surprisingly we're still running without major issues." They expected more problems. Driving conservative. Cars getting quicker.

Lap times?

They have not competed in any of the 6 hour races yet. This is their first actual race, which is really just a long test.

 

[Vinylshark]

Rast getting in for his first stint. Really curious and excited to see how well he will do.

 

[townha99]

Lap times?

Best 3:39.601
Last: 3:40.244

 

[R5]

Is called LM24 minutes, isn't finished after 35 minutes.

Not funny, man.

 

[20832]

Best 3:39.601
Last: 3:40.244

Considering their power output, that's some fairly quick times. What is the quickest LMP2 lap?

 

[Bo]

Top one is in 11th. Things are guaranteed to happen overnight. Top 8 on the cards?

 

[Scuderia Paul]

Eurosport is a joke. Always has being crap for scheduling. I thought coverage was changing to ES2? Just boring cycling there.

I'm still watching LeMans 24 Minutes after nearly 40 minutes.
