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

[Michelin Man]

Slow-zone no more.

 

[MSZ]

Here you go!

Thanks!

 

[Michelin Man]

#6 Ginetta officially retired, garage doors now closed.

Edit: And now we reach the halfway stage, 12 hours done, 12 to go .

 

[Silent Drifter]

Less than 12 hours left now!

 

[MustangManiac]

Enough of the pizza and wife time, back to the races! I see not much has changed in the past two hours.

 

[Skython]

There is very little going on right now, infact very little has been going on ever since I came back four hours ago. Even Maldonado is behaving himself!

 

[Michelin Man]

It is very much the quiet part of the night, where very little is happening. Whether it's a calm before the storm remains to be seen.

It’s a good time to watch the Alonso and Lopez onboard streams. Both of them are pushing hard considering they’re only racing each other!

3 car in the garage for some reason.

 

[Michelin Man]

#3 on the dollies and into the garage.

Edit: Loose under-tray by the looks of things, plank under the car has partially come off it's mountings.

 

[Sentry87]

Too bad Rebellion is now 5 laps down and will only catch of Toyota runs into trouble. But good news is 8 is catching up to 7, could get interesting again.

*doh!

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

I don't see much in the way of making the race interesting unless something befalls a leading car in one of the classes.

 

[MustangManiac]

Alonso is driving like a man on a mission, inside 50 seconds now, that could get really interesting.

 

[jake2013guy]

Jumbo LMP2 is on fire.

 

[Michelin Man]

#29 looking a little fiery, and not in a good way.

 

[Jarnokee963]

Jumbo LMP2 is on fire.

Damn, I feel sorry for our neighbours from the Netherlands since they really supported that car. Didn't saw the fire yet is it serious or rather a little fire?

Little fire but potentially big.

 

[Michelin Man]

It's not massive, but not ideal. Hard to tell whether it was engine or brake related.

 

[CSMDuty11]

Is it just me or is the BMW M8 GTE program gonna go the way of the Nissan Nismo LM?

 

[jake2013guy]

It's in the pitlane now.

Is it just me or is the BMW M8 GTE program gonna go the way of the Nissan Nismo LM?

Why?

 

[Michelin Man]

Is it just me or is the BMW M8 GTE program gonna go the way of the Nissan Nismo LM?

I doubt it, certainly not at this stage, since the M8 very clearly has pace, and has been improving ever since it's debut in IMSA and WEC.

The BMW Mate has been surprise of the race imo.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

"That man there is playing Galaga, thought we wouldn't notice, but we did."

 

[Michelin Man]

Also, unsurprisingly, the #29 is in the garage.

 

[jake2013guy]

For a moment, I thought it was the LMP2 leading G-Drive.

#40 in the wall at the Porsche Curves.

 

[Michelin Man]

Yup, #40 with the code brown at Porsche curves this time.

Edit: Now a slow zone.

 

[Furinkazen]

Big big hit, SZ out, no surprise.

 

[Michelin Man]

Fairly substantial hit that.

 

[Jarnokee963]

#61 out of the corner and lost some seconds.
