Smart move Toyota. This is good. This is how to race with no safety car fakery

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

delete messed up the edit sorry.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Yeah, good thing it wasn't 👍

Also this is a true race to the end.

Oh my what a pass, that was crazy.

 

[aarror]

Oh my what a pass, that was crazy.

This is brilliant, what a race!

 

[R0ssingt0n]

I regret only catching the final hour now, looks like this has been an entertaining one.

 

[Tired Tyres]

I did not see that one coming 6 hours ago! I really don't like Audi but Treluyer is the man.

 

[Diehardracer]

Did I hear right? Marc Lieb will be leading WEC?

 

[Furinkazen]

🤬 !!! That was crazy for Larbre!

I'll link it. http://www.endurance-info.com/fr/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/11/W07_8388.jpg

Kinda reminds me of the R10 in the front area.

Subaru... LMP Engine.... WHAT? And yet a very reliable source.

 

[DK]

The last time I recall Subaru making a racing engine that was neither for SuperGT nor WRC was Coloni's flat-12. That didn't exactly do well...

Subaru's Le Mans engine. Basically heavy and powerful.

And what exactly does this have to do with anything Le Mans Related?

 

[Northstar]

Because this is the Florida man.

Because this is the Florida man.

Ohhhh, that guy. Hadn't heard about him in a very long time so I naturally didn't remember who he was.

So no Yamaha help?

Rumours are getting more and more intense. Porsche's new LMP1 will look a little like this:

 

[R0ssingt0n]

My god that looks incredible, fingers crossed the actual car will be similar!

 

[Bram Turismo]

That's an incredibly hideous nose they've put on an otherwise incredible looking machine.

Oh how I wish tobacco liveries were legal again. I'd see that in Rothmans colors.

 

[C-ZETA]

Pink Pig for the win!!

Also screw Subaru on an entirely personal note.

^^^^ This. Also I'd like to see the Jagermeister livery back

 

[Roger the Horse]

If they're going to have Martini sponsorship, I think there's only really one way to go...

 

[Tired Tyres]

The trouble with that is alcohol advertising on the cars is not allowed in France unless the sponsor also has a non-alcoholic product for sale.

That's a bummer. Alcohol and tobacco brings good money to the sport.

 

[Azure Flare]

This could also work.

 

[Roger the Horse]

It also does a terrible amount of damage to people's health and society, which I'd say is more important in the grand scheme of things than our little obsession...
