Then the guess for who'll be the victory is up in the air. It will be a major dash for the finish line...

But will it be closer than Silverstone? Audi is in! Porsche already pitted! Audis out ahead!

They're gonna jinx it.

They're gonna jinx it.

If they keep on doing it, they just might. :lol:

But seriously, it has all been about driving skill and the cars. Spa has brought the best out of everybody in the track.

Audi going for a triple stint, that seems a little risky imo.

Thats why its called the World Endurance Championship.

Bruni paid a hefty price for his move, 1 min stop & go for the 51. And somehow, a Porsche has made it into the GT podium! Lucky sods.

#8 Audi just overtook the #17 Porsche under yellow flags at the bus stop a second ago.

Did they ever get round to investigating this incident?

The penalty was for the errant wheel in the pitlane instead of anything on track.

Yes, I just saw that, my mistake. Still, the point stands, that has ended their chances of a podium.

As for the Audi overtake, I don't know if that was looked at by the stewards.

sk8er913 · May 2, 2015

I wasnt awake at that time so I dont know, either way the 8 is annoying 18 lol

GTPorsche · May 2, 2015

Distance record at Silverstone broken.
Distance record at Spa broken.

If it doesn't rain at Le Mans... :bowdown:

sk8er913 · May 2, 2015

THE 8 HAS CRASHED YELLOW FLAG

We have jinxed it for good now... :scared:

So much for Jarvis holding the Porsche back, that ends his race.

HKS racer · May 2, 2015

1 minute stop and go is ridiculous. Sounds like racism to me. Envy toward Jimmy and his car.

GTPorsche · May 2, 2015

That's twice that the Audi has had it's engine cut out under braking.

GOTMAXPOWER · May 2, 2015

This rear locking causing the engine to cut out (and killing the engine braking) is really odd. I haven't seen it before but it's happened a few times today for Audi and once for Porsche.

IforceV8 · May 2, 2015

It seems if the Audi has a clutch issue that stalls the engine under braking.

GTPorsche · May 2, 2015

Looks like the yellows were withdrawn. Looks like we dodged a bullet on the FCY again.

sk8er913 · May 2, 2015

The broken G drive car is on track lol.

GTPorsche · May 2, 2015

And thus we've had 12 hours of no safety car interventions.

G.T.Ace · May 2, 2015

Slightly disappointing finish to an otherwise incredible race. No safety car, new records everywhere, beautiful.

chrisjohnson93 · May 2, 2015

Over 400 laps at Le Mans?

Jawehawk · May 2, 2015

Really? You need to instruct your drivers to drink all their water so that they don't risk being underweight and under the regulations? That's kind of pathetic...

20832 · May 2, 2015

Congrats to Audi for taking the win! Brilliant race, just a beautiful display of why WEC is such an incredibly racing series!

What an impressive race distance... No interruptions, no safety car periods. This was one heck of a race, WEC has delivered once again. Lamy wins in GT Am, which is really good. And for Audi, it's a sweet victory for the new aero package, despite the strange engine cut issues.

As for Toyota, they are in desperate need of speed, because they simply could not keep up with ze Germans...

HKS racer · May 2, 2015

Who is the racist steward that gave 1 minute stop and go to Jimmy?

sk8er913 · May 2, 2015

All over... Ill be back for Le Mans.

good discussion about the race in here

LOL It was totally deserved, not for Bruni, but there are clear rules regarding the pitstops.
