That really shouldn't have happend

 

[Dennisch]

That can't be just a rotor issue, can it? Definitely the front rotors at least. How does the hybrid charge on the Toyota? Is it charged under breaking? Cus that would wear out the hybrid even if they fix the breaks.

Looking at the amount of smoke, it seems like a brake fluid leak.

 

[Michael88]

Corvette - Facepalm.

 

[Michelin Man]

The Ford Performance youtube channel only has the 66 and 67 onboard

Are there any other onboard feeds?

It has the #68 as, just the on-board camera is external, after the in car camera fell off it's mounts and had to be taken out, same thing happened with the #69, hence why that has no feed too.

From what I heard from finnish commentators, Toyota only gets power by braking, unlike Porsche that also uses a generator on the exhaust.

I think it's more serious than just brakes, he was complaining about the acceleration before.

 

[Amac500]

Milner what a moron.

Parking it in the kitty grit at the pit entrance.

Something broke in the left rear if that car. Possibly the tire from driving back to fast, but 66% chance that was mechanical.

 

[Flex0r]

Corvette - Facepalm.

I had the same reaction.

 

[Silent Drifter]

There was no tire on the rim or maybe a flat tire, and when the weight transferred to that side, he spun it.

Though if it was the hybrid engine having smoke coming out of only one of the wheel arches makes little sense.

Strange spin for somebody experienced like Milner, maybe he already had a tyre going down to cause the initial spin.

E - The one he hit the wall, not the silly pitlane one

 

[Bram Turismo]

The hybrid units seems to suffer from these temperatures... Imagine an LMP2 getting into an overall podium position...

Speculation now are that Toyota waited too long to pit Buemi, and that the hybrid system may have sustained damage.

 

[Dotini]

It would ironical - and something of an indictment - if both Porsche and Toyota hybrids suffered failures from the hybrid drive system.

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

Looks like they're pretty much picking the cockpit apart.

 

[IforceV8]

It works finally https://timing.71wytham.org.uk/

or not, it is caught in a loop

The left rear wheel came off when he hit the wall. That spin would've been the first time he turned that car to the right without that left rear wheel I think. I bet he didn't even know it was off. Unfortunate, cus Corvette could've fixed that pretty quick.

No LMP1 finish.

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

Ok, it's another front motor issue. So this will take a while.

 

[Amac500]

Windscreen now pulled off the 8 car looking in the cockpit. The braking temps had to be related to the hybrid. Some kind of major electric issue there.

 

[Organ-Donor]

#64 Corvette has crashed.

And spun on pit entry.

And got beached.

When it's not your day.....

Wow I run to the store real quick to grab a 12 pack and come back to this...

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Toyota mood right now.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

If I was head of Toyota Gazoo I would tell them to turn everything down on the #9, make sure it makes it to the end trouble free and it could get a very good result.

 

[Dennisch]

Smoke from the #9 Toyota too??

 

[TS050]

Toyota mood right now.

So what happened exactly? He hit a wall and the wheel came off then spun out at pit entrance?

 

[Savolainen83]

Anyone have a link to a good, up to date live feed?

Can't get the dutch feed to show up, even if it supposed to be free to everyone.

Also the few youtube feeds I tried weren't really up to speed.

 

[Michelin Man]

After the hybrid issues we've had for both teams, I suppose this is even more of an advert to simplify/get rid of the hybrid aspect .

 

[IforceV8]

It must have been that fat guy in his bed again.
