[Michelin Man]

Remaining #81 BMW with reported suspension issues.

That brake change on the 92 Porsche though.

That brake change on the 92 Porsche though.

These teams are ridiculous. Ford did a pretty quick one earlier in the race. Think it was the #68.

 

[Prince.M5]

#88 had a rear suspension failure. And oh dear the nightmare for BMW continues.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Okay, I'll back back in the morning for the rest. Goodnight guys!

#68 must have just changed fronts as they changed rear brakes in that last stop.

I mean, I've been watching Le Mans for quite a few years now and it's the first time I see a complete modular assembly for the brakes. Very reminescent of what Audi was doing with gearboxes in 2000.

 

[jake2013guy]

Smoke followed by a slow Gulf Porsche. Something tells me the 2 are linked.

 

[Carbon_6]

Looks like a few other teams are taking advantage of the slow zone to change brakes: #91, #69, #68, #54 and #52.

 

[Carbon_6]

#10 goes hard into the wall at Porsche Curves.

Doesn't look like it's down for the count though as it's now crabbing its way back to pit road.

 

[Michelin Man]

#10 Dragonspeed has had a big off

 

[jake2013guy]

How is he going to get that car back!?

 

[-Fred-]

He'll get there, but judging by the amount of crabbing the car is doing, it'll be there for a while.

 

[Michelin Man]

The Ford V Chevy battle has resumed, this time #69 vs #63.

 

[jake2013guy]

BOTH TOYOTAS!?

 

[Silent Drifter]

One minute stop and go for #8 and #7

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

The Ford V Chevy battle has resumed, this time #69 vs #63.

Well then!

 

[jake2013guy]

Wait. The graphic shows both Toyotas but Eduardo Freitas says just the #7.

 

[FutureF1]

Wait. The graphic shows both Toyotas but Edoardo Freitas says just the #7.

Probably why the team told Buemi to stay out

 

[-Fred-]

Well it's not like it's going to change anything.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

This Toyota battle is to a certain extent starting to make me think of ALMS GT1 2008 with the Corvettes at Mid Ohio.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Shouldn't the #8 get a bigger penalty? He's already done it once.

There is no battle. This is contrived.

 

[Silent Drifter]

#8 in to serve penalty.

Edit: #7 in to serve penalty now.

Edit 2: I think Toyota is doing team orders here, and I have a feeling it's like Spa all over again.

 

[Michelin Man]

Slow zone for a beached #28 TDS machine.

Edit: #88 now an official retirement, taking the tally up to 6 now.

 

[Silent Drifter]

#52 Ferrari penalty for speeding in pit lane.

Tracy Khron spinning it coming out of Arnage

 

[Tired Tyres]

#44 spins. Drink.

 

[jake2013guy]

Death, taxes...

 

[Silent Drifter]

#81 BMW gets 5 seconds added to its next pit stop, for pit stop infringement.

 

[Michelin Man]

#81 with 5 seconds to be added at their next stop due to a pit-stop infringement.

Edit: beaten to it.

 

[jake2013guy]

#8 pitted and left again.
