Who else thinks that Toyota will have orders in place to have the nr8 as the winner if all keeps going well, and have Fernando in the car to bring it home?

Because of PR reasons of course.

 

[Savolainen83]

Sorry to throw questions at you, but what do you mean by 'next two'? What happens to them after that?

Dunno what happens to them after 2020, but Porsche is the official vehicle supplier for WEC / Le Mans for the next three years.

Rush hour in Le Mans:

With how they're racing now, I'd like to think they'd go "Hey, the win is up for grabs. Don't crash. But fight for it if you want."

 

[MaddinICE]

Can anyone explain the choice of Neil Coles shirt on Eurosport?

 

[crooky369]

Ah Tom look into my eyes...

 

[Jezza819]

I have to say, being able to see Alonso eyes looking at his mirrors in the pit stop, watching his pit crew working, is pretty cool to see. I think in F1 they are only concentrating on the lights to tell them to go.

If you're Jose Maria Lopez seeing Alonzo's eyes in your mirror isn't a good thing because that means he's about to blast right past you.

Velocity show the god damn race Radio Le Mans is saying three wide on the straight...

And they're still going over the ByKolles crash. Seriously guys?

Eurosport is showing Tom Kristensen doing a play-by-play of the ByKolles accident.

 

[DesertPenguin]

This is unbearable

These little "lessons" are getting annoying while the race is going on. They should do split screen if they insist on keep doing these.

That requires a competent director.

Radio Le Mans are actually watching the race? I don't believe that.

 

[Organ-Donor]

That requires a competent director.

Sadly it seems like this is a highly lacking job in almost all races I've watched.

 

[Michelin Man]

This Chevy V BMW V BMW battles been great, 3 wide on the Mulsanne for the #82 to get by both Fords, good stuff.

Thanks for the update, I was in class watching these lessons while it was taking place, then cut to a commercial.
Why do some commercial breaks on Velocity have split screen and some don't?

 

[MaddinICE]

Drivethrough penalty for the Ford #67 for overtaking before the SC line.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Penalty for #67 Ford for overtaking before end of saftey car.

EDIT: Tree'd.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

98, 67, and 44 all get drive through penalties for overtaking before the line.

 

[Savolainen83]

#67 gets a drive thru penalty.

Also, that weight reduction did wonders for the BMW's. Hopefully they don't run into problems.

 

[Michelin Man]

Damn, now the #67 has a drive through for an infringement.

 

[Organ-Donor]

I like.

Well, 'least we're all watching the same race.

Good question. Since it's Eurosport's broadcast is it this way (the commercial splitscreen half the time) for those watching from them?

 

[Michelin Man]

Thank God the #81 BMW is in 2nd in Pro, as it's the only thing stopping it being a Porsche 1-2-3 at the moment .

 

[Kenocar]

I can't even enjoy the race through the official WEC app. Why is North America even Geo-locked?

Other than the onboards on youtube, there's no actual way I can watch it this year unless I dive into some questionable sites.

The story about Kristensens crash at Sebring

 

[DesertPenguin]

What does a black and white flag mean? Drive through penalty?
