Imagine if this was year 3 of the Nissan GT-R LM Nismo programme...

COME ON CORVETTE! THE WIN IS IN SIGHT!

Imagine if this was year 3 of the Nissan GT-R LM Nismo programme...

They would still be waiting for their hybrid system to be delivered by Amazon Prime.

 

[Michelin Man]

Ah, Corvette is leading GTE. Screw it, I'm just hoping ford Ford maintains 3rd at this point.

That's what I'm hoping for, sort of accepted that a win for the #67 is a bit of a stretch, but it could be a dark horse in the GTE-Pro battle, but podium looks very likely. Otherwise, I'd love the #97 to get the win ahead of that 'Vette, but still some time left to go.

 

[Amac500]

For those lamenting the Toyotas, remember they're likely going to score 36 points for the season...so as far as seasonal performance goes they're only losing a bit out to Porsche. The LeMans portion though...well, yeah.

Actually thats gonna be 4 points for the Toyota. The P1 and P2 cars are grouped together on the point scoring table. It's weird, but the Fox broadcast talked about it a lot earlier.

 

[Kitten]

If i read this correctly the #8 is 10L down from the Leading Porsche. Agh

 

[Vinylshark]

Final hour already

 

[Michelin Man]

#97 and #63 nose-to-tail as they leave the pits, come on #97 keep harassing that big 'Vette, you can do this!

 

[Tired Tyres]

Tyres for the Ford. Smart move. Every GTE car that pitted ahead of it needs a splash to get to the flag. Corvette and Aston Martin pit. Close.

 

[Silent Drifter]

GTE Pro battle is on.

 

[IforceV8]

Gotta love faux sports, running a puff piece about Corvette racing will the battle for the lead in GTE-Pro is taking place live and missing it.

 

[GTracer98]

"Corvette could win this for the first time since 2015."

A bit of a weird wording from the commentators.

 

[2clicks]

Wow, why did I resume watching this late? The GTE battle is still on.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Front engine V8's fighting for the win. 👍

That was something I was musing to myself yesterday actually. What if Nissan went (more conventional/got the backing to pursue the design) and VW never had it's emission scandal. We'd be talking about a 12 car deep P1 field, all with a chance to win this year. Oh well, next time we get a shot at that will likely be nice the hydrogen engine comes around. A lot of manufacturers seem interested in that.

 

[ToyGTone]

Come on #63, You can do this. Don't let that Aston gets you.

 

[Michelin Man]

Front engine V8's fighting for the win. 👍

If only the Vantage had that mighty V12 *sigh* .

Hoping for them to come back though. They are quite successful back in early 90's era of WSPC. But after that failure back in 2015, they have to back to drawing board imo (or maybe they wait for new gen GT-R to showed up)

 

[FoRiZon]

Last year was between Ferrari and Ford. Now its Aston Martin and Chevrolet.

This is what i like about Le Mans. The outcome is unpredictable.

 

[Amac500]

3rd place overall is in the kitty box

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

No!!! The Alpine is in the wall from the overall podium!

 

[Silent Drifter]

#35 LMP2 in the wall

 

[Furinkazen]

It's like GT1 all over again.

 

[C-ZETA]

And there goes your third placed car. Or at least a massive chunk of its advantage to the Rebellion. Fight for the podium back on... Except it isn't because the Alpine's pitted.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Somehow he has held the position, the battle resumes...

 

[spyrrari]

pffff,lucky guy he wasn't stuck and could be pushed out....very lucky guy!!!




Spy.

Wait. Must added that Porsche, Ferrari, and Ford are on the same lap.

Whole GT-Pro Package.

3rd Place crashed btw.

 

[2clicks]

Piquet Jr. can capitalise on that error. Come on!

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Oh cmon Alpine, this isn't the time for a crash.

 

[FoRiZon]

Gogogo Alpine.
