@ultra_06 there's an official one but you have to pay for it. Discussion of illegal activities is against the acceptable use policy.

All three teams on the podium at the moment!

This race is amazing!

Been a great race so far, anyone of the 3 manufacturers could potentially win this race.

The races could be even better next season with another manufacturer into the mix and probably 10 cars running at Le Mans next season.

I'd hope for more than 10 cars at Le mans next year

11 so far

Absolutely amazing last race of the season so far. I am still rooting for Toyota of course, but part of me really wants to see Tom take the win seeing as this is the last race for him. He will be missed.

You simply don't get racing this amazing anywhere else.

Webber's had a big crash up the hill to the pit straight again. Fingers crossed he's OK.

Edit: Webber waves from a stretcher. Great to see.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Not much left of that car.

 

[mikeerfol]

Webber's ok according to Porsche.

Out and without TV access, just checked twitter no images, I read there's a Ferrari involved, can anyone tell me what exactly happened? And if there's any image available please link to it. Thanks!

It isn't possible to determine who hit who from the replays. The Porsche comes into view before the Ferrari, but it's hard to tell who was responsible.

 

[Hun200kmh]

wow ... rear wheel making a 90º angle with the car means rear section all destroyed? Glad Webber is ok, Speed Chills just tweeted the man is a legend, thumbs up in the stretcher after such a massive crash!

 

[Hun200kmh]

wow again (after seeing hsv's picture) ... I see the Ferrari in the background, pretty damaged too or so it seems.

Thank you guys, long live gtplanet

[Jawehawk]

Please go green. The battle between Porsche and Toyota would be epic.

 

[Hun200kmh]

Triple wow ... that was a HUGE impact with the wall, I wonder how many G's did Webber's body sustain there ...

 

[Jawehawk]

Question. Why aren't all the cars required to have onboard cameras so as to better determine what went wrong in accidents?

They do but they don't show them till they know the driver is completely fine.

Race will end behind the safety car. If they all cross the line, #14 Porsche wins, the new WDC #8 finishes second, TK is 3rd with the #1 crew. Pretty good podium there.

 

[Jawehawk]

A sad end to an otherwise great race and even greater season. Congrats to Toyota for the championship win.
Here's to an equally exciting next season.

 

[mikeerfol]

Maybe there's a chance they were destroyed at the crash as well?

There isn't a hard drive on the in car cameras they are beamed up to the team directly.

Shame about the Webber crash to end a very good race. Good to hear he's okay though. 👍

 

[Brutaka]

glad that Porsche finally got their win.
