Loving all the Nissan GT-R Nismo and FIFA ads on Eurosport.
Again, and again, and again, ...
This is why I'm glad I forwent the geoblocking bypass and shit and just went straight to the WEC LM sub. 20 video streams or so is just heaven. HD and no buffering at all.

Yup, totally sick of them now.
Only 3.5hrs to go now
Pretty much 2 full GP's, looking forward to the extra garage spots coming in over the next couple of years, track just looks a little light at the moment.

Ugh, no chance of a race now.

That all but confirms a Porsche victory, unless some disaster befalls them.

Looks like it still has an issue
I've had zero problems with the official paid stream. I've been using Radio Le Mans for my commentary with this stream and it's fantastic. I do miss the Eurosport commentary sometimes, but not having any ads makes up for it.
They have an angle grinder at the wheel arch now!!
Audi 7 on a charge now, sets fastest lap of the race. He is going for 2nd place if possible.

I'm so going to lap Le Sarthe in pCars after this race. Might start up GT6 too if I don't have to wait for 66 updates to install.

Jesus Audi, sort your cars out.

The chase is certainly on, but the time to do it is diminishing.

Yes, this was the #8, previous one was #9.
#7 is one lap down on the #17, no way they have the pace to unlap and then catch 2nd place.

I think Tandy just did one before handing over to Bamber. Or was it a triple?
They are doing triple stints if I counted this right. Strange thing is that Audi didn't used supersoft compound during the night - looks like they were unsure if it will last triple stint
For Football. For Corruption

Dead last LOL. 40 or so laps down on the next car.
Marketing works! Tomorrow you will buy a Nissan and only use Shell fuel.
Fuck yeah Dempsey Racing!
It's funny. Audi have dominated Le Mans for so long that I am so bored of them winning all the time and have actively been put off them as a brand.

SARD are planning to enter the LMP1 category in 2016:

In order to classify as a finisher at lemans you must cover 70% of the race distance of the winner. The two nissans are currently at about 65 and 60%. If they can stay on track for the next two hours they should be fine but currently they will not finish the race.
Exciting innovation.

I'm still not sure how Nissan fucked up the hybrid aspect so badly.

How in the world did the Ferrari catch up to Pat Long after that spin?
Edit: 458 just pitted.
