86th Running Of The 24 Hours Of Le Mans, 16-17 June 2018

[Downhill Dino]

Toyota swapping out the rear end body work, maybe for more downforce for the rain?

Could be from the Rebellion contact wearing down on it. Was it that Toyota?

 

[Mike-ZENKAI]

First hour gone. Need to attend some family business. Back around 20:00CET.
Will keep a look out on this thread for updates.

Eurosport are showing some crap in a studio at the moment, live timing looks like SMP #11 (the Button car) is dropping a lot of time, anyone know what the problem is?

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Velocity is just doing some analyzing nonsense, so I'm back to watching it from the Ford GT onboard cameras.

The map they were showing in this segment showed the #11 stopped right after the Mulsanne corner for quite some time.

I believe it was.

Is Velocity doing, like what ESPN is doing for F1, and just piggybacking the European Stream?

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

The #68 Ford GT is right on the Corvette and whooo, passed it!

 

[Michelin Man]

Someone running around with 3 wheels on their wagon.

Edit: #31 Dragonspeed it is.

That's a shame, that car looks like it's been off the pace of the other SMP since the start of qualifying for no apparent reason. It's now down to 59th place 4 laps off the rest of LMP1.

Yes. Not a bad thing, that segment took way too much time but I like Eurovision.

 

[twitcher]

They should just show the GTE Pro battle the whole time

 

[MaddinICE]

We have a livestream available.

Can someone check if it isn't geo-locked?

Working in Austria.

 

[Dennisch]

I have added the stream link to my first post of the thread.

@Furinkazen if you can add it to the first post, that could help some people.

 

[Silent Drifter]

Ok. I saw the segment too, and so I was watching my other stream. It seemed like it took 10 minutes to go through.

 

[Michelin Man]

Long train of cars in Pro, from 5th back 13th, with the #66 not long past the #93 for 5th.

If PD employees are watching this, they are probably shedding tears at the sight of the track limits which they defined being abused.

 

[crooky369]

Yes. Not a bad thing, that segment took way too much time but I like Eurovision.

I sing their praises as well. Always provide great coverage.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Off topic: I feel silly for this, but I honestly forgot that Ginetta still exists.

 

[2clicks]

Toyota just passing through the GT pack casually.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I'd love for Ginetta to evolve their GT3 machine into a GTE machine

 

[Furinkazen]

It's outdated and badly needing a facelift to be honest.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Awww, the the AF Corse Ferrari keeps getting passed. I kinda feel sorry for it.

New driver "Garthia" for Corvette...

 

[twitcher]

In GTE pro, from the onboards of cars following the corvettes....why does it look like one of the brake lights flashes every once in a while? Is that the driver using an indicator, or something caused by the cameras?

 

[Grayfox]

We have a livestream available.

Well I have ads sharing 75% of the screen.

I just saw an iPhone 6 ad for 1500

What's that about? Did he lisp Garcia's name?

I think it's the camera causing that.

Edit: #51 Ferrari tire went down

Led lights refreshing. Normal eye can't see it but the cameras pick it up.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

That Corvette looks a bit sandwiched.

EDIT: Doh, that poor Ferrari.
