Hey guys what's the heads up at Lemans? Especially with the Ford GT, are they taking the lead or is Ferrari?

And what's going on with the Toyotas, Porsches, and Audis LMP1s?

Gotta see what is going on to catch up.

Turbo changes aren't drop and go. Serious business.

They already strapped Treluyer inside the car, it's always amazed me how Audi changes hardware in instants relatively to what a normal human being would take. I'd take like 4 hours taking the turbo out of my car...and 8 months paying for a new unit. And #7 is back on track!

I was simply responding to the "17 minutes!!!" as if it's a life time. I've been watching Le Mans since the late 90s. Teams of mechanics and engineers have shown me quite anything can be done to get a car out there. A turbo change issue is nothing.

As for the Dr. Not knowing the last time they had a turbo issue, I remember...it was two years ago at this same race.

P1 is anyone's game, they're all putting in fairly even laps. Porsche leading from Audi and Toyota. The #7 Audi is the only car to have suffered issues so far, down to 59th overall.

Porsche are strong in GT, Corvette are the only ones relatively struggling.

Which as I said earlier is hilarious cause on 24-48 hours ago, Porsche were angered that they go no change at all, and were even counted out of a chance for the win, unless there was serious rain most of the race.

A turbocharger change in 20 minutes. :censored:ing amazing, Dr. Ulrich and his boys never fail to amaze me.

True, I thought that one car was out for sure last year when they tore the whole front off and they had it out in no time!

IIRC, the Audi R8, the genesis of Audi's Le Mans dominance, was designed with exactly that in mind: being a modular car in which everything was easy to replace, regardless of cost. Gearbox changes under 20 minutes were not unheard of at the Audi pits! :crazy:
 
Hartley into the pits, Duval pitted last lap and Conway is still out. Maybe Toyota has the upper hand in terms of fuel consumption?

Alright Porsche :D!! I knew those 919 don't settle for nothing! Sucks to hear that the Toyota and Audi are not doing well, hopefully with the repairs and some quick strategy plans, they could pick yp the pace.

Same here, he is deffinately over 9000 with his talented team and excrllent enginnering, race stragety, and isn't going to back down for nothing. Glad that they got #7 back and running.

I wonder if he is a decedent from The Stig..... :eek::bowdown::D:idea::lol:
 
What the 🤬 does the 🤬 in LMP2 #25 thinks he's doing? Almost sent #6 into the wall and Conway was lucky enugh that the standing water on the track edge didn't send him packing.
