#8 in trouble. What is it with German cars in this race? Still they can afford a problem or two and still finish ahead of the Toyota's.

Well, to be honest, if both the Porsche and Audi keep having bigger problems and the Toyota stays reliable and keep up their pace, they still have a good chance of getting pretty far up the ranks.

Edit: And #1 Toyota is in the pits with problems as well.

 

[GTPorsche]

I think I just saw on twitter that one of the Toyotas is in the garage now...?

 

[Tired Tyres]

#1 sticking throttle.

 

[mikeerfol]

You jinxed them guys

 

[Tired Tyres]

I'm not liking this lack of reliability. At this rate an LMP2 will be more likely to win Le Mans that an LMP1 has of getting to the finish.

#2 now with problems as well.

 

[mikeerfol]

Oh come on!

 

[IforceV8]

Onboard sounds like it is stuck in 1st gear.

There's always Nissan's LMP1

Reliability is a part of endurance racing, I like how you never really know what is going to happen next, I'm looking forward to the Rebellion's turning up at Le Mans with their new engines too.

If they win because everyone else has bad reliability I'll eat my hat.

Maybe a Mclaren p1 GTLM will win.

 

[catamount39]

...wait a minute...

 

[mikeerfol]

Still better chances than a McLaren win in F1

 

[yzfmike]

Can anyone explain why the #9 Audi is so "jumpy" when braking for the bus stop. Is the #9 the long tail version? Could this be a aero or braking issue?

 

[sk8er913]

...wait a minute...

What is it? Toyota is back into the pit.... and out again...

No the Mclaren P1 GTLM comment threw me off brah.

I was referring to 1995 Le Mans when the Mclaren F1 won the race from the GT class.

 

[20832]

Some proper racing between Lotterer and Lieb!

This happened when GT1 was top level of endurance racing. That couldn't happen again, unless something similar was allowed in Le Mans 24H.

Wouldn't expect anything less from Lotterer, the man is an incredible driver. 👍

And the #18 Porsche had a major off moment, Porsche's luck is going backwards now...

 

[IforceV8]

These factory drivers are driving like they get paid per lap position.

 

[20832]

Wouldn't expect anything less from Lotterer, the man is an incredible driver. 👍

And so is Lieb

 

[GTPorsche]

What's worse than WEC being interrupted for NASCAR B-rate qualifying is that session ending, and then FS1 doing a 30 minute block of NASCAR highlights instead of.. oh, I don't know... getting back to the 6 hour race....

 

[sk8er913]

What is the 47 LMP2 car it looks way different than other p2s

 

[G.T.Ace]

What is the 47 LMP2 car it looks way different than other p2s

KCMG Oreca 05.

The blue one? KCMG ORECA 05.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Of course, I'm not taking anything away from him. I just happen to know Andre's work a tad bit better. They are both great drivers.

 

[sk8er913]

KCMG Oreca 05.

This is its first year participating?

 

[G.T.Ace]

This is its first year participating?

Yup, brand new chassis.
