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

Alexander Wurz just said that #7 is not allowed to race #8 anymore with the exception of safety car and driver error on #8.

I wonder if that will change if a penalty is given for the pitstop incident and #8 comes out behind...

You got it.

Don't see why it should. They had a 60 second penalty earlier and the lead car miraculously failed to defend a two and a half minute lead. This has been contrived from the get go. They just lack the balls to admit it.

I think that would fall under driver/team error. I'm curious what the rules state as it does seem like a safety issue.

Rebellion ought to be given a class victory because it seems they really are LMP1-b and the Toyota hybrids are LMP1-a.

Lovely color scheme on the F I D G E T S P I N N E R Rebellion.

lol, that's what my daughter calls it.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Lapierre is preparing to enter the track with just under 2 hours remaining, perhaps Toyota haven't won this just yet...

My daughter loves the Porsche 911 pink pig for the color. I love it for the history. If the Corvette can't catch'em, I hope the pink pig wins GTE.

#32 slow on the Mulsanne with a left-rear puncture.

 

[Michelin Man]

#32 with a rear left puncture.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Sucks for them, the Ligier still isn't as quick as the Oreca but they had done a good job getting through the race cleanly (aside from Montoya's off), this kills the chance of a podium.

I can see the reaction of the 917/20 in the Museum in Germany with its front lights a bit humid...

Yeah, if you look at the race with a cold heart, the entire thing is a laughable farce. There is no real way but failure that could make Toyota loose this race. It was destined to suck from the get-go.

 

[MaddinICE]

#7 Toyota slow! In FCY mode to the pits.

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

Trouble for #7!

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

[PzR Slim]

OMG! Not again.

 

[Dennisch]

hahahahahahahahaha and here we go.

 

[jake2013guy]

#7 SLOW ON THE MULSANNE!

 

[Silent Drifter]

#7 is moving slowly

 

[Jarnokee963]

#7 having trouble!

 

[Furinkazen]

It has begun

 

[Michelin Man]

#7 going very slowly.

 

[raven214]

#7 slow!

 

[Nielsen]

It begins...

 

[Downhill Dino]

Not like this. Not again.

Are Toyota ever going to learn from their mistakes?

 

[SilkCutXJR]

OOOOOMMMMGGGGG it begins!

 

[andrea]

[Cano]

Holy hell I can't believe this.
