Commentator, are answering a question about having GT3 cars at Le Mans, with the other classes. They said, problem won't happen, since there's already 60 cars. But there could be a chance, that they could replace all the GTE cars. They said that GT3 cars were cheaper than the GTE cars. It would also open it up for more manufactures, like Nissian, BMW, Audi, Bentley.

I can't see them changing it since they've changed the GTE/GTLM/GT2 regulations for this season to distance them from the GT3 cars, they should be quicker now. I can't see a category being dropped so soon after a major rule change.
 
Confirmed, no rain, just lots of cement dust.
 
Not sure that it's raining due to the cars not having the wipers on.

After seeing the Japanese flag dispaly in the Toyota pit, I really hope they can pull this off for us Otaku/those with anime avatars

lol. Since there was no TV coverage. I'm watching anime, while watching the WEC live stream on my phone.
 
Safety car in this lap. Should be good :D - #5 and #2 together on track I think.

I remember someone was saying that the GT3 cars are actually faster than the GTE cars. Never really looked into though.

Under 2016 regs I doubt it. Now, if both were allowed to have completely open tire competitions then it could be a different story. Tires hold back many GT3's since most GT3 series' have a spec tire.

CLM mechanic lies motionless in the garage as the CLM itself is actually out and working.

Wrong way round.

You have to take it where you can get it.

At least we know that at ByKolles, there's always something in the garage not moving. :lol:

The poor guy is dead tired, working on that thing have to be soul-destroying.
 
Just a reminder that notorious twitter ranter DHH is entered in a car that is still leading it's class in GTE-Am.

Someone overtake them, please.
 
Are the only official retirements the #89 and #91?
