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

[Bo]

What false infomation? Do quote me on any false info I've posted in this thread.

Did I say you? I said they. My Tweet targeted those who are enjoying spouting nonsense and revel in their struggles. You fall into the latter group. You then proceeded to defend those who I targeted, using the "you're against different opinions!11!1" card.

Nissan needs to get a price for best brainwash marketing. Never seen such extreme fan behaviour. Actually makes me dislike their effort and totaly kills my symphaty dont think they need you to explain and defend them. Michael krumm for example had a lot better and objektive view a few hours ago on eurosport germany then you are postinf here. Saying they are behind scedule and dont know if the are competetive next year but happy that the cars are running and improving. But not blind defending of everything.
Holy mother watch football if you want to cheer without thinking

...Remember before, when I said stop trolling? Seriously. You're just a broken record of anti-Nissan nonsense. I'm pretty sure it's bordering pure spam now, and I'm pretty sure not even you know what you're trying to say.

I need to sleep. Hopefully when I get up at 08.00 I will see Toyota is 1-2. I can dream can't I?!

Enjoy guys.
👍

This might come as a surprise to you, but people are allowed to post their opinions on the forum. As I said, I don't think Kolles or Rebellion should be racing here, as they don't fit in to any of the classes.

By your logic, not a single make other than Audi would have been in Le Mans from 2004-2007.

 

[ClydeYellow]

Can we please tone it down? Some people may agree with Nissan's decisions, some may not, but there's no need to turn this into a flame war.

I will admit that I was not rooting for Nissan (going for Audi ) but what that team was able to do this race was fantastic considering they had no recent experience in LMP1 and had to make a ton of last second changes with no idea what the car would do. It was such an unfortunate way to retire from this race, I bet the team worked their butts off and did everything they could to get to Le Mans and have a competitive car. I wish them the best next year .

PS. All of the people cheering for Nissan's retirement, seriously...

 

[C-ZETA]

Can we all just shut up about the car racing? It's happening, so move on and just enjoy the damn race.

Indeed, as soon as Nissan is mentioned in either thread they both go to ****.

Perhaps you want to refrain from being petty about someone disagreeing with you, and resorting to childrish behavior such as saying someone is embarresing themselves, solely because you don't agree with them?

I think they're racing mostly for money? I'm pretty sure FIA recognizes HY and non HY cars on LeMans.

Almost 3am here, still up and I don't feel at all sleepy! 👍

 

[Wavey2014]

Is it possible for you all to just calm down and enjoy the race? I see the same people trying to cause an argument on different things, then they get proven wrong then they try argue about something else... Just calm down

Maybe. Can't comment on that, as I didn't watch it back then.

I approve of this, can we lay the GT-R arguments to rest? I am politely asking for this, because this point has been driven beyond common sense and patience. Now it has turned into a mud-slinging competition, and it's not really the point of this thread, or at least I think so anyways. The car raced, it didn't do so well. The End. Can we move on now, please?

 

[ClydeYellow]

It's easier when you expect nothing more than a development year. If you hope they come in ready to fight for wins, you're just disappointing yourself.

As I said, I wasn't expecting them to fight for wins. But I wasn't expecting them to be that far off the pace of the rest of the big manufacturers' LMP1 efforts, either.

That'll be the last you'll hear from me about it.

They're not finished yet.

I'm not sure if I'm trying to scroll through a 24 Hours of Le Mans thread or a soap opera at this point.

 

[Furinkazen]

Whoo-hoo I got a shout out on WEC live channel. CLM apparently still going.

It's more a school playground right now.

They are not?

Well even if one of them retires (knocks on wood) it won't hurt as much as it did a few years ago when they were win contenders

I just heard that.

I think with the LMP2 cars being sped up ahead of 2017 (by around 150hp) and LMP1's being slowed down it would be a difficult business decision for the current LMP1 privateers to stay there rather than buy cheaper to run machinery which go just as quick. One think I would like to see however is the big teams (Audi, Porsche, Toyota, Nissan) selling their cars to customer P1 teams so they can fight in the big class with a remote chance of a result.

Dubstep music with a bunch of quick shots instead of showing the race.

Dubstep Musik mit ein paar schnelle Schüsse , nicht zeigen das Rennen.

Fox Sport 1?

Someone was complaining about FS1 coverage and I am also on FS1 and an acura commercial was on at the same time and thats the lyrics of the techno song... it was almost like a response to his complaint LOL

 

[Bo]

That's it from me. I'm only posting race updates. I've said what I need to.

Regarding the P2s at the minute, where are the strategies at? I've kind of neglected their race so far.

I don't think they expected it either, but you won't know how much you need to work on the car if you don't know how much time you need to make up.

They are not?

#22 & #23 are in the garage, but they are working on them diligently.

I might very well be wrong here, but I don't think racing in the WEC is particularly lucrative.

This. Think it's about 40,000 Euros for the overall LM win.

Weaving side to side at 334kmh. Awesome.

Wonderful idea but with the amount of specialised tech in the cars it's unlikely. I'd like to see a class for LMP1-H cars without hybrids though... a 919 without Hybrid system vs Rebellion could be a decent battle.
