2015 General WEC/ELMS/AsLMS Discussion ThreadSports Cars

[Niku Driver HC]

This is mental.

I agree with that, it seems that the #18 Porsche and the #7 Audi are playing a one-up game with one another. It's insane stuff we're witnessing...

We were promised 40% chance of rain at 14:00. The clouds are gathering... #WEC

Oh boy, that could change a lot of things, if rain shows up.

 

[fortbo]

Wow! Audi and Porsche neck and neck!

 

[R0ssingt0n]

Well this is exciting!

Formula what? This is proper racing right here.

 

[Panoz]

I'm having a very hard time watching the Porsche/Audi war and the Blancpain race all at once.

[LancerEvo7]

This is incredible.

 

[R0ssingt0n]

8MJ hybrid power is scary fast. I love it.

I'll never get bored of the seeing these two overtake each other at exactly the same places each lap.

Village may as well be renamed "Audi" after today

That Toyota is getting close

Go get 'em! V8 all the way.

Davidson might be killing tyres though.

Come on Hindy,piss on the Aston Martin commercial.

 

[Spirit]

I loved the ELMS race yesterday and I'm loving this today. Fabulous racing all weekend!

 

[Jawehawk]

Davidson might be killing tyres though.

I realise they are pushing harder in this race than they are at La Sarthe, and that Silverstone is very corner heavy, but if they can do 3-4 stints at Le Mans on one set of tires, then surely, doing 2 stints should be perfectly doable on here?

Also, Toyota nr. 2 breaking the rules on moveable aero

 

[LancerEvo7]

Toyota just took the @hsv line through turn 1 and 2.

 

[Furinkazen]

Anyone lost the WEC stream?

 

[R0ssingt0n]

Nope all good here

 

[Furinkazen]

Not going to lie, I bailed on the circuit. Sat in the beer garden of the pub in Silverstone village having a pint, and following things on my phone. The sound of the engines is carried on the breeze, the seats are comfortable, the food and drink is reasonable priced... Watched half the race but wasn't in the mood today for the spectating experience Silverstone offers.

No idea what's going on there mate D:

 

[TrentDog1]

Didn't even know this was going on until @LancerEvo7 told me. This is awesome.

If you're not feeling it then you're not feeling it. I've "bailed" on some live racing myself to go get food. Although I returned, I understand. Hope you had a great time this weekend. 👍

Rain coming.

 

[Spirit]

Rain coming.

 

[IforceV8]

The radar isnt showing any rain so it must be light.

It's off to the west I believe. It's coming, not sure if it'll get there in time or what.

 

[IforceV8]

"hit the pace car cole" call goes out to Audi #8

 

[JohnBM01]

It is so cool the FOX Sports channels are showing the WEC live. This is my first 6 Hours of Silverstone I have followed in any sort of way.

 

[Furinkazen]

This wacky, how that was not a huge crash with the Ligiers and the GT car I will never know.

 

[GTPorsche]

This Porsche/Audi battle has been great.

 

[sk8er913]

Wow about that battle for first?

 

[fortbo]

This Porsche/Audi battle has been great.

The next few years are going to be great for P1! Audi, Toyota, Porsche, and Nissan all in the same race!
