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

Having found a solution for just about every mechanical issue that could arise, both Toyotas will take each other out.

A Ferrari GT car also hasn't taken anyone out yet.

 

[Michelin Man]

#8 has overtaken the #7 for the lead.

#8 has overtaken the #7 for the lead.

Overtaken in the literal sense rather than the competitive sense.

 

[Michelin Man]

As the RLM crew point out, a very clean pass by Kazuki on Kamui on the brakes into Mulsanne. And with the help of traffic, the #8 shot off down the road.

Edit: #47 off into the tyres at Indianapolis, slow zone as a result.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Why is there a Dallara in the gravel pit on Indianapolis?

 

[AnthonyD1993]

The 47's bad Le Mans week has just gotten worse.

 

[Carbon_6]

Quite a low attrition rate at this stage of the race. Only 4 out of the 60 that started have retired.

#82 with heavy damage heading down pit road.

 

[Quakebass]

I saw a shot with a mighty grey looking sky, rain could make things interesting...

...And thats a smokey BMW...

 

[Cloudy]

Just did a lucky 7 lap race in Project Cars 2 in the TS050 in support for Toyota. Go Gazoo!

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Oh BMW, this is just not your race.

 

[Silent Drifter]

Looks like they spun into the wall

 

[AnthonyD1993]

82 crashed and drove back to the pits.

 

[Michelin Man]

Funny place to loose it in the Porsche curves for the #82.

 

[Prince.M5]

Oh jeez #82 lost it

 

[Michelin Man]

#82 Just got out of shape and went wide onto the gravel clipping that inside wall. Quite lucky no-one was close behind it as it came back across the track.

 

[jake2013guy]

The way this race is going, the Villorba Corse car will just be full unpainted carbon.

 

[Friday_GTRP]

I feel very pitty for the aston boys, they were pretty much screwed over

 

[Carbon_6]

#84's had an off at Mulsanne corner. It's being carried away by the recovery truck.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

82 has retired from the race.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I'm hearing that the #82 BMW M8 is retired now, shame.

EDIT: Tree'd (dammit)

 

[Tired Tyres]

Slow zone speeds under investigation. I wonder who did it this time.

 

[Michelin Man]

That's a shame for the #82, tough to fall by the wayside at this point in the race. And as the guys at RLM just mentioned, that's two LM24's for ALex Sim's, and 2 retirements now interestingly.

 

[Savolainen83]

82 has retired from the race.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Aside from that, I think I'm seeing the #68 Ford GT about to lap one of the Corvettes.

 

[Carbon_6]

Make that 5 out of 60 retired.

 

[Prince.M5]

82 has retired from the race.

Hoping for the #81 to bring BMW back something. 24 Hours of Le Mans has never been a lucky ground for BMW.

 

[Carbon_6]

Could really go for a bacon sandwich right now after seeing the #92.

Damn that n/a flat-six sounds good.

 

[Michelin Man]

#88 off into the tyres.

At the Ford chicane, hefty hit.

 

[jake2013guy]

Matteo Cairoli's rear suspension fails and sends him into the wall.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Speaking of Porsche, one just got slid into a wall.
