LMP2 pole sitter in the wall, will be lucky to get back to the garage. If he does he will be finding himself in the penalty box for a long time
 
I have a feeling that rumor was started by a journalist looking for a story during a rather quiet week.
Fact 1. The person on the VAG board who championed Porsche LMP1 and ring fenced the budget is no longer on the board.

Fact 2. When Ginetta announced their LMP1 car they stated that the ACO had said they will be able to race for podiums.

Opinion. Try doing that with both Toyota and Porsche on the grid.

Everything else is a rumour.
 
At the airport waiting for my plane home so I need to miss the first 7 or so hours of the race.
In the 1 hour update on the WEC twitter feed I don't see byKolles. What happened to them?
Ran wide at Tetra rouge on the first lap and damaged the car, I think it's most recent problems are with the engine. It might be out.

They got a puncture on the opening lap. Had an issue shortly after which has them still in the pit garage.
 
Did you see what the #88 did?

To be honest I didn't quite, from the angles I saw it looked like the #26 tried to dive in an pass the #88 in a closing gap, and from listening to the RLM commentary, they seemed to suggest that the #26 was at fault, which is now being investigated as a result.

Just seen the replay and edited my post accordingly. 👍
 
Speaking of radio Le Mans, is there a race stream with the radio Le Mans commentary anywhere? I saw the stream on their site but it didn't show the track, so I'm suffering through fox sports commentary over here lol.
 
if I recall right, this craziness unfortunately happens every year!!! UGH!!!

I've purchased the stream the past 2 years and haven't had any problems more severe than the stream falling behind after awhile (as is bound to happen and is fixed by a refresh). I don't know what all they changed from their previous site but it's certainly not an upgrade performance wise.

No worries, here's the studio vision commentary:

 
I don't know about that.....seems un-viewable still for me......if I recall right, this craziness unfortunately happens every year!!! UGH!!!
Mine is working fine now, great quality also, this is the first year I have had any issues.
 
Are the Porsche GT cars with the official livery the new RSR with the mid-engine or just regular 911s with the livery?
