I saw flames.

 

[Mush]

I feel sorry for Nissan, I really do.

 

[LoveCake]

Says on the official timing that the #22 NISMO car is on it's 'out' lap.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I feel sorry for Nissan, I really do.

At this point, I just want them put down like a gimpy dog. This shit is getting too depressingly pathetic to watch.

They provided when the Nissan that was missing a wheel almost ran over a marshall stopping him from going back on track last night.

 

[dalin80]

So spends a couple of hours in the pits then comes out and immediately goes off and sets itself on fire. Yep that's a nissan.

 

[Roude Leiw]

so did anyone then announce their new LMP1 car for next year?

 

[Ark]

Radio Le Mans just made a good point about the media if the #19 does win the race. A lot of 'see, enduro racing is easy' etc etc. Though personally I'd love to see the #19 grab the victory.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Ford revealed their new Gt for next year?

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Nothing as of yet. It might just be SARD and their LMP1 project.

 

[Jezbollah]

Rain scheduled for 40 minutes time.

 

[jett]

Dang Porsche has it in the bag? Unless a disaster occurs.

I don't believe that at all, to be honest.

Radio Le Mans gets a bit precious about endurance racing versus Formula 1. I think the idea that an F1 driver could come in and potentially win Le Mans at the first attempt after they spend so much time criticising modern Formula 1 doesn't really suit their narrative that endurance racers are so much more admirable than F1 drivers.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

One hour left.

 

[Alabamaman]

C'mon rain, give Audi a chance. Been kinda a dull race after midnight with Porsches in their own class.

 

[herod]

to be fair, there are quite a number of pay drivers in F1 who seem to struggle to concentrate for just an f1 race.

I just imagined Maldonando racing at Le Mans.

*shrug*

 

[dalin80]

I just imagined Maldonando racing at Le Mans.

*shrug*

In a 458.

 

[Hackbert]

Webber....Mr. 2nd Place....which is awesome nevertheless

 

[Juicy Bob]

Formula 1's got a lot of problems and the WEC is in a fucking golden age right now and that's awesome. We're all enjoying how good the racing has been in the WEC recently.

I just wish the RLM guys would just let the WEC speak for itself and not feel the need to constantly try and criticise F1 to try and make endurance racing look better.

That's a good point, actually.

He'd fit right in with the 458's.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

They deserve it for being so pompous.

 

[TCRS]

the hulk most probably winning le mans in a porsche. fucking amazing, so worth watching.

 

[Dilly]

Noooo, the Aston.

That was an odd crash.

 

[Juicy Bob]

GT AM leading #98 Aston has crashed!

 

[Humidex]

Heavy hit by the 98 Aston!

 

[Spookie]

Well that's goosed. :/

 

[The Elite]

Wow. The 98 car.

In the last hour.

 

[Hackbert]

Noooo. Poor Aston Martin... Not like this

 

[herod]

weird straight on

 

[Dilly]

Poor Dalai Lama.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Welcome to LeMans.

 

[FStop7]

"We're going to build a slow zone"

Hey, something for Nissan to finally be good at.

 

[dalin80]

This has been a very sad race. Very sad.

 

[Ark]

Nooooo

 

[nature boy]

In a 458.

Not even PDVSA could afford the damage he would do.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Beyond gutting.

 

[Agremont]

It just went straight on. Did he lock up? Didn't look like it to me.

 

[Steiner84]

this is horrible.
feel bad for the whole team, especially lamy who raced despite his illness

It just went straight on. Did he lock up? Didn't look like it to me.

looked like he went off of the curbs and lost grip?

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Probably steering?

 

[Ark]

RLM thinks he might have slipped on the pedals.

 

[Psychotext]

He'd fit right in with the 458's.

He'd need a much stronger car

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Eem.

 

[dubc35]

Slept for a while, looks like the 19 has it

 

[Shaneus]

Earl Bamber is from my home town (population ~40,000).. this is a bit of a mindfuck seeing him leading le mans

Brendan Hartley is from down the road, Palmerston North

Proud kiwi here!

Screw Hartley. Robbed Webber from having a chance at a win. Who overtakes during yellows?

Mitch Evans is the one you should be cheering for.

 

[herod]

Webber

 

[LoveCake]

It's nearly over for another year
