The Aston & Vette give me shivers. Just too good. For LMP's (should've stated that), the TS030 is by far and a way the best.

Yeah, of the LMPs the Toyotas are the best atm. The best LMP in recent years was the V12 Aston Martin...oh my goodness :drool:

In recent years, I'd hear a V8 roar and go 'ohhh what a wonderful sound, that's a Corvette.' This year I have to pause...if it's a slightly higher rev note, it's the Aston Martin :)
 
Varsha and crew are coming back.

Ferrari could at least go into LMP2 and probably win?

Doesn't Ferrari make a hybrid? TDI shouldn't be out of the question.
 
So basically for the technical standpoint Doug Fehan says that last year's quali lap by the Vette's was not a true character of pace. They had a lucky lap and got tow in all four straights to help produce such a quick lap...

They don't care about LMP2. LMP2 is for private teams. Ferrari doesn't care about LMP1 either. I remember a journalist asking to Montezemolo, about Le Mans he said F1 is enough for us.

And again, Le Mans is about how much money you are going to invest. If you have enough money regulations will be made to showcase your strengths.

We can turn the question and say why Audi doesn't try with F1? Are they terrified? They are not terrified, they aren't intersted, their business is with diesels.
 
I thought they were aiming for 13. 14 seems excessive, surely they'd lose time to running slowly due to the low fuel.

A few of the laps were behind the safety car with fuel saving but yes it looks like they tried to squeeze an extra lap and it cost them.
 
Now Toyota #8 is 2 minutes behind the #1 Audi and the Audi has made 1 stop more. So currently Toyota's fuel saving strategy doesn't pay out

It's only the time a puncture could cost you, there's a long way to go.


But yes you are right Toyota need some luck to win on strategy alone.

I don't get it. Is the second time, that two narrators said that are officia only l 50 cars in competition, but I saw now that are 55 cars. :indiff:
 
I think I need to unsubscribe from this thread for now. So many posts and I'm not watching the race at the moment. Every time I check to see if the other threads I'm subscribed to have any new posts, there's dozens of new ones here. I can't read that many posts. :lol:
