[Carlos]

They predict rain just after the start!

I haven't been paying as close attention as normal due to work so I'm just now joining in. Is Velocity channel really broadcasting the entire race? I see it on the guide.

When I tune into Velocity (via DirecTV Now) all I get is a blank screen!!!! Thankfully I found a stream on Youtube.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Has the WEC started for anybody yet?

 

[jake2013guy]

ByKolles failed to start and then spun.

 

[05XR8]

`sees Benson jutton`Honda's racing?

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Looks like Kolles will have to start at the back, not the worst place to stay out of trouble if the LMP1's are fighting hard.

They predict rain just after the start!

No wonder, I was curious why Rebellion seemed to be running wet tires already. Unless I'm mistaken.

 

[Grayfox]

Hope it starts to rain, would make things more exciting.

I have Xfinity, it works for me. So glad to be able to watch the whole race on cable TV again, thank you Velocity.

Lotterer must have had damage from the incident with the Toyota, now is #7 wounded?

 

[jake2013guy]

Andre. What are you doing?

 

[05XR8]

Just like GT Sport.

 

[Grayfox]

 

[UnkaD]

First corner brought to you by GT Sport

 

[20832]

Jesus André, why?

 

[raven214]

And the stream goes offline after turn 1. Not happy!

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Jesus André, why?

Looked like Conway put him in the gravel, either damage or dirt on the tyres when they got to turn 1.

E- It's was the #8 he hit, nose was broken before the incident.

 

[DQuaN]

It looks like he was trying to get up the inside of one of the Toyotas. Then over committed through the next corner. 24 HOURS ANDRÉ!!!

 

[Grayfox]

Batmobile now in Le Mans

 

[Michelin Man]

Not sure what Lotterer was trying to do their at turn 1, was never going to work round the outside on the dirt, put in a difficult position with the Toyota, and has cost him dearly already.

 

[jake2013guy]

Has anybody got a weather forecast (hour-by-hour) for this race?

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

It looks like he was trying to get up the inside of one of the Toyotas. Then over committed through the next corner. 24 HOURS ANDRÉ!!!

#8 moved over and there was contact, the nose had disconnected from that (not sure if #8 has damage at the rear), once he turned for the first left the car just went straight.

Look like a '32 Ford hot rod.

 

[Chikane_GTR]

Yes just found out my cable has Velocity

 

[DQuaN]

#8 moved over and there was contact, the nose had disconnected from that (not sure if #8 has damage at the rear), once he turned for the first left the car just went straight.

True but it all started from him trying to take the Toyota which he’s not even racing. That put him offline and the rest seemed to be a chain reaction.

 

[comu]

Hello guys. I'm back to GTP for my yearly watch-along with you beautiful people.

 

[Furinkazen]

Rain at Porsche Curves.

 

[Silent Drifter]

I got my tv streaming the race, and got a secondary tv tuned on Velocity Channel! I'm ready for this again!

 

[20832]

Those retro Porsches look so damn good, and the sound!

 

[Downhill Dino]

I got doughnuts, pizza, cake, and loads of soda. I love when the race is on my birthday, bring on the 24 because I'm ready! Go Toyota!
