63 and 64 Corvette's were 1 sec slower in timing sector 2 which is Tetre Rouge to Mulsanne. 51 (AF) and 82 (Risi) Ferrari and the 69 Ford were the quickest GTE cars in every sector.
 
Has any body got an update on the repairs of the damaged or burnt cars from practice earlier?

Sounds like an intriguing series of events. Ford was probably very much sandbagging...but being fast doesn't guarantee you much at LeMans. Let's see how it turns out in the race.

Considering their budget, their drivers and the team running the cars I wouldn't say it's certain that Ford doesn't have the "it" besides speed that's needed to win at Le Mans. After all, those guys at Ganassi aren't strangers to driving for 24hrs. straight...

Still, if the sandbagging alegations are true, and it seems they are, I hope all EcoBoost engines on La Sarthe go kablooei with no harm done to the drivers :D!

At least the Vette's have got a chance only way Aston Martin or Porsche are winning is if everybody else has problems.
 
Both Audi's still being worked on going to miss the start of qualifying at least.

Yeah I am too. Every time I press one of the live cams, the app crashes.
 
For guys in the Us it's on FSGo. Use the RLM YouTube stream though as the commentators are terrible. It'll be a little out of sync but it's not a huge deal
 
Fords and Ferraris running 3:51s, good lord. Ford is also 6 MPH faster than non-turbo cars. Lol.

What keeps the BMW M6 cars from IMSA away from Le Mans?
 
Nielsen
Really? They are competing in IMSA's GTLM category. I've read it uses the same regulations as GTE.

Local homologation for M6.

Get this. Two cars given a 10 minute stop go penalty for not slowing in a slow zone... in this mornings FP1 during a red flag!!!
 
Uh oh. A Corvette's off.

Edit - Ricky Taylor. Just crunched the wall a bit.
 
A yellow car driven by somebody called Magnussen is in the wall. Sounds familiar for this week.

E- No it's not. Wrong graphic
