I have run out of food, and someone has raided my drinks. Still some left though but I'll have to stretch it out now. Still got a Red Bull in reserve.

So 11 hours to go, and it looks to be a three way race to the finish between the three brands, hopefully Audi can do some more magic and get back on the lead lap for the #8 at least.

#63 Vette into the garage for a brake change.

I can't remember what car it was but they had a driver showing what all the buttons on the steering wheel do earlier in the week and it had 2 different speed limiter buttons one set at 80KPH for slow zones and another set at 60KPH for the pit lane.

Coming to think of it, does anyone know what sort of ECUs/EMSs do this cars run? I assume LMP1s run bespoke units but GTEs? Motec, perhaps?

I like having tons of buttons but with the Haltech I got I have to choose between either a rev limiter OR an ALS switch...and I want both. Because buttons make you faster, and cooler, and awesomer! :lol:

I have no idea far beyond my level of knowledge
 
You guys microwave cheeseburgers? Screw that, I got a George Forman grill. I'm cookin' me some real :censored:in' meat!
 
An added bonus to these 24 hour races...I get to deep cycle the battery on the laptop, time to plug in for 2nd time :D
 
Following this race on social media is a nightmare, my download limit won't last if I streamed any decent part of it, stupid miscalculation of mine.

Crossing my fingers for Toyota
 
#6 Toyota confirmed to have some bodywork damage on the front right fender, right behind the tyre! :scared:

It's insane considering how quick can such a great race end! (🤬, I hope I didn't just jinxed it:banghead:)
 
The lead toyota had some bodywork taped over in its scheduled stop. Porsche inherits lead.

Was a rather quick patch up.

Well, its 5.22 am in here, I don't own a grill and the burger in question was like this:

and then I just added few slices of cheddar on it and some ketchup and mayonnaise.
 
As much as I like Kobayashi, Japanese drivers shouldn't be allowed to drive the Toyota's at this time of night, when they do bad things happen (2014) :(
 
Quick question that I just thought of seeing all the tree'd comments about the Rebellion:

How do you call the legendary bit between Tertre Rouge and Mulsanne corner? Is it "the Mulsanne"? Is it "Hunaudieres"? Is it "Ligne droit blahblahblahblah"?

Curious to hear your answers and the reasoning behind them! :gtpflag:
