The Le Mans General Discussion Thread

[G.T.Ace]

I'm guessing the 458 doesnt have the same type of rear view camera/radar system that the C7 GTE has?

I think no other car has this system yet.

 

[AerodyManiac]

3 cars competing for the overall win now...

Edit:

...And the Thiriet LMP2 wins! Fantastic finish, and the last 10 miuntes are absolutely intense. 👍

 

[Mac K]

Agreed, excellent race.

I hate to re-open this discussion, but the WEC app would be a better deal if they offered full replays. Most of is in the USA can't be awake to watch the race, and I would be willing to pay the $40 to watch replays

Its a little tough to follow at times with all the different ranks of drivers but the RLM guys did a great job of keeping track of it.I would prefer a class of true pro drivers but the racing was good. 4hrs commercial free in 720p,👍👍

Bravo to Zytek for building a strong car w/o needing a tube frame.👍 Hopefully Dolan will be back for the next round at Imola.


Its sucks about the WEC pay scheme,I guess I will wait for the highlight show on Fox Sports 1 since the "other" streams are so low quality.

Quali replay:

If that is an example of the quality behind the pay wall then my money stays in my pocket. 👎

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Anyone else notice Ferraris are always involved in accidents?

 

[Dhalism]

saw "Ben Collins" in there, is the Stig taking part in Silverstone?

What time does it start, 7am EST?

What time does it start, 7am EST?

I believe so. It's the flyaway, China-type rounds that annoy me. Even so, that's early for us on the West coast anyway

And yes, it is the same Ben Collins, who is now James Bond's stunt double.

Adrian Newey? Porsche recruit?

 

[RACECAR]

Adrian Newey? Porsche recruit?

 

[aarror]

Will the race be on youtube later? I don't feel like getting up at 4am to watch.

Also, Newey at Porsche? Shouldn't he be in China for F1?

 

[MHPALA]

Can't watch the race. I hate pay walls.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Also, Newey at Porsche? Shouldn't he be in China for F1?

It's early in the season so Newey normally stays back at the base in Milton Keynes where he is more useful for the development.

Random Trivia: Adrian Newey finished 4th in GT2 at Le Mans in 2007 driving a AF Corse Ferrari.

Should I add the Ginetta crash?

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Only if you let me bring up the GT40 one at the classic le mans event those years ago

 

[Furinkazen]

When is race start?

 

[Tired Tyres]

12 PM. Radio Le Mans coverage has started.

 

[G.T.Ace]

The stream workaround doesn't seem to work anymore.
Glad I have MotorsTV, just wish the picture quality would be better.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Psychological rain!

Edit. I wish Audi and Porsche would paint their cars different colours.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Here, we, go!

 

[sems4arsenal]

If someone wants a stream, PM me. Do I post it here? don't want to get into trouble.

No don't post it here

 

[Furinkazen]

It's on. As is the WEC stream lag.

EDIT Holy 🤬 this is unreal.

 

[Dhalism]

reddit should be yall friend.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

EDIT Holy 🤬 this is unreal.

Guess they weren't told the race is six hours long.

if i may you might want to check out reddit even if you paid for it. They seem to have a direct link to the (official) stream that doesnt seem to lag.

(i.e. it might be website itself that lags)

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Toyota is just driving away from the Audi in the straights!

Audi is faster in the corners and brakes, wonder if its running more downforce.


Yep Audi running high downforce set up.
