The Le Mans General Discussion Thread

[Bo]

They did say Andrew Lotterer, so they are prone to messing up.

 

[Jawehawk]

I'm confused. Didn't the Nr.14 Porsche double stint tires just like the Toyota Nr.8?
The commentators are making it sound like Porsche changed tires on the Nr.14's 3rd pit stop.

 

[Bram Turismo]

#14 will change tyres during its next pitstop will be due very soon.

The worry for Toyota is that Porsche are running more laps per stint, and if they can do with a stop less they have possibly the papers on the table to win this race.

Right now I'm predicting the #14 for the victory, #8 in 2nd, and #1 in 3rd.

 

[Jawehawk]

Just the commentators confusing me .

I call the Toyota Nr.8 as the winner. Even if Porsche manages one less pitstop, Toyota are simply quicker.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

I love the strategy needed in endurance racing.

 

[albteman015]

I also believe the 14 will win this race.

Edit: nevermind then

 

[Solo]

14 in trouble!

 

[Bram Turismo]

Oh dear

 

[Jawehawk]

Porsche 14 is done for.

 

[Ninners]

#14 going slowly, Audi into 2nd despite straight line speed deficit.

[Jawehawk]

Uhm... He didn't pit?

Has he used too much fuel?

 

[albteman015]

Why did he not go into the pits?

 

[Bo]

Working now.

 

[albteman015]

I seems like it could have been an ERS problem and they had to reset it. Shame, that car was running very well.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Can you imagine the kick in the back of your head when that Toyota V8 unleases all its 1000 horsepowers?

I mean, 1000 bhp in an LMP car. 1000!

 

[Jawehawk]

I've lost count of how many times that nr.13 Rebellion has been rolled into the pit garage.

 

[Bo]

@Bram Turismo your face must deform in some way.

986bhp

 

[Ninners]

#1 should be toast here.

 

[Bo]

Because 14bhp would feel so much different.

Radio Le Mans have just been corrected as well

 

[Tired Tyres]

Yes but a 1000 Horsepower just sounds better.

 

[Bo]

Radio Le Mans have just been corrected as well

They're getting corrected so much today, far dosier than usual. Wasn't the F word said by Martin Haven in Auto GP this morning?

 

[Jawehawk]

The question is whether or not the Nr.14 Porsche can catch up to and overtake the Nr.1 Audi.

 

[Ninners]

Di Grassi still trying.

 

[Bo]

Toyota 5th stop.

 

[Jawehawk]

So I'm thinking. This season has thus far been pretty amazing in how competitive the P1 catagory is.
And with Ferrari, Nissan, Renault and Honda possible joining the P1 class in 1-2 years, this could very well become the most insane and competitive class in recent years. Now I'm excited

 

[Tired Tyres]

Where did you hear about Renault?
