Porsche.

Whoops Now it makes sense.

 

[GTPorsche]

Especially considering he's in the 18.

I'm 19 so I can confirm that. xD

Hats off to the helicopter cameraman, he/she has made some fantastic shots.

 

[catamount39]

Great race! Would have been better if an Aston won in GTE though.

 

[ukfan758]

And within 30 seconds of the race ending, FOX is out .
Edit: at least the nascar race is on a circuit.

Yeah...kinda sad really but I expected that.

 

[GTPorsche]

ByKolles was best of the privateer LMP1.

How did that happen?

 

[IforceV8]

The only thing faux sports has done right today is turned on the go stream to the WEC feed and left the room so sleepy Bob Varsha can take his afternoon nap.

 

[catamount39]

*internet trolling me*

Fantastic feat by Porsche today, although they've had some issues, still scoring 1-2 in LMP1 and also a 1-2 in GTE Pro.

Absolutely dominated today and Audi's probably pretty happy about their toss ups at the beginning, otherwise it would've looked incredibly bleak for them

 

[G.T.Ace]

Definitely an electronic issue.

Motors is actually a Freeview channel now. The Motocross cutaways are still embarrassing, though.

Traffic hell also unfolding.

I have to pay for an extra package from my cable provider, otherwise it's locked.

Probably just free in the UK.

 

[Carlos]

Probably just free in the UK.

It's for free here too with some providers. They even commentate in Dutch but most of the times I put it on English.

 

[Kamuifanboy]

Did they just give away one of the ford drivers for next year!

They dropped a massive hint.

Didnt hear it, what did they say?

So... What was said to hint? I'm fairly certain Scott Pruett will head up the Ganassi side of the program.

A question has come up on Twitter on whether of not Lieb has his HANS device on. The picture I saw it looks like it is missing.

Some drivers use another device. It looks as if nothing is connected. If you look up Jereon Mul, Lamborghini Factory Driver, you will see that he is wearing something that wraps around his whole upper body as a replacement.

God damn it!

We can't watch livestreams on YouTube and now we're not even getting a TV channel, that is free for most of Europe probably

I saw it when he climbed out of the car for the podium. It was well hidden by the belts in the picture I saw on Twitter.

It wasn't Pruett it was a current wec driver.

 

[IforceV8]

It wasn't Pruett it was a current wec driver.

That narrows it down to under a 100 drivers, nice work.

Well, there's your problem.

ByKolles was best of the privateer LMP1.

How did that happen?

What earth-bending dark magic is happening over there?

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

37 to be precise that were racing in the GTE classes.

 

[Furinkazen]

I can narrow that down to someone in GTE PRO... so around 6-7 cars and 18-21 drivers...

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Don't forget you get pro drivers in the AM class

 

[Furinkazen]

Don't forget you get pro drivers in the AM class

Oh yeah

GTE news http://www.dailysportscar.com/2015/09/01/2016-gte-contenders-prepare-for-ladoux-test.html

Smart move by Ferrari to base the new 488 GT3 on the 488 GTE.

GTE news http://www.dailysportscar.com/2015/09/01/2016-gte-contenders-prepare-for-ladoux-test.html

Smart move by Ferrari to base the new 488 GT3 on the 488 GTE.

And according to that article it'll be possible to upgrade the GT3 to a GTE.

Excited about the mysterious new Aston. And did I read that right that the next Porsche GTE in 2017/18 is going to be a mid-engined car?

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Excited about the mysterious new Aston.

Which one?

 

[catamount39]

Which one?

New evolution of the GTE car that ProDrive is building apparently.

 

[UnkaD]

Regarding FOX leaving right at the checkered flag, what bugs me the most is that it doesn't even switch to the NAStruck race. It cuts to guys talking for an hour about NAStruck before the NAStruck race.

Yep. Apart from the Boxter/Caymen and 918, I can't think of anything else.
