#7 Audi get's pushed into the pits.

 

[CarBastard]

Lotterer back to the pits. Maybe we were too quick to praise their strategy? Or maybe the lovely Leena is one step ahead of us?

OMG IN IT GOES!

 

[NW48]

Was that the Formula Racing Ferrari shedding a wheel?

Yes. But no one seemed to pick it up.

Noooo Audi #7 in the garage.

 

[GTFan24]

Into the garage the #7 Audi

 

[ukfan758]

#60 in the garage as well.

 

[MustangManiac]

Ford who?

They must be sandbagging again

 

[Clark]

Looks like the Audi needs DPF regen

 

[CarBastard]

"Rain expected in the next two minutes", says the Race Director as the LMP1s are on slicks...but maybe not Toyota!

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

They must be sandbagging again

Nah, lap times show they're still the fastest on the track.

 

[Michael88]

Another rain shower for 15 minutes.

 

[ukfan758]

Another rain shower for 15 minutes.

Potential safety car period?

 

[Furinkazen]

Smoke in Audi garage...

 

[Bo]

Potential safety car period?

Not unless it's level 3 or 4. It only seems to be a shower at the minute.

Corvette towing a trailer and passed with ease by a Ferrari and beetle.

Yeah doesn't look like the Vette got the .3mm restrictor increase in time. Even in the slipstream it fell behind. The Ferrari has nitrous.

Worth noting the Ferrari and Ford are new-gen cars. Corvette and 991 are dated.

Looks like less than .4 between the top three in fastest laps...maybe they got the bop right 👍

But the purpose of BOP is to level performance....

 

[RACECAR]

So...I find out that race has indeed started but on a channel I don't have.

I have nothing but bad things I'd like to wish on Fox right now.

 

[Savolainen83]

Audi #7 turbo problems. Change is underway.

 

[CarBastard]

#6 Toyota is 6 seconds behind the LMP1 leaders...but just set the fastest lap-time. Amazing stuff on LMP1!

 

[Coiler]

NvM

 

[Bo]

Are the Eurosport comms watching any kind of feed at all? They've got no idea about the action on track.

 

[Vinylshark]

But the purpose of BOP is to level performance....

And boy did they got it wrong. You know you messed up your BoP when a Corvette barely can keep up with a Porsche while being in it's slipstream.

 

[Cobra_GT500]

Off to sleep for 2 hours will be up in a bit. Hopefully I dont miss much.

 

[catamount39]

Worth noting the Ferrari and Ford are new-gen cars. Corvette and 991 are dated.

...the only dated car is the Porsche. The Corvette isn't that old and has been fully upgraded to 2016 spec just like the Aston Martin.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Looks like less than .4 between the top three in fastest laps...maybe they got the bop right 👍

No, best lap times are easily held by a Ford or Ferrari.

...the only dated car is the Porsche. The Corvette isn't that old...

3 years old, even if they are all wider than the year prior.

 

[Michael88]

Potential safety car period?

Don't make me cry again.

 

[CarBastard]

Brilliant pace by Mike Conway, we got a three-way race to the top as far as outright speed is concerned!

 

[Ameer67]

#7 Audi has been in the garage for over 17 minutes now. Not good for them.
