2016 Le Mans 24 Hours - 15th to 19th June 2016

I think i heard during the NASCAR trucks race that the Us Open resumes early in the morning.... FOX you better not pull this **** on us again

The idiots are pulling this **** again:

About 50% of the blame needs to go to the US Open organizers for not planning their times correctly. The other 50% needs to go to fox sports for refusing to air the race or golf game on FOX (there is nothing on that network from 7 to 9 on a Sunday) and screwing up this race broadcast as well as the nascar race earlier.

Why is the FIA WEC live timer saying the #6 Toyota is "Out"?

pitstop.

 

[Leadfoot530]

I know! It'll be midnight over here, and it's just getting light there. Always wanted to see dawn at Le Mans; think I'll finally get to see it!

Okay...nevermind...FSGo stream died, and I don't have FS2.

Me = Not happy.

I could use some shuteye anyhow.

Try the link again LOL. I've been drinking cocktails since the before the race started, my bad.

Thank you very much for sharing! Reasons upon reasons to root for Kamui then!

It's because I haven't gone to sleep yet.

Kamui Kobayashi: "GT-AM just had contact, we missed a bit of pace, we tried to fix it".

 

[CodeRedR51]

It's almost exact. I'd say there's just as much light where I am than what they are starting to see now.

Seriously this, especially with all the new components, and tech on these LMP Cars. And it's not like any of these teams/engineers are conservative.

Hey no problem, and I remember when they did this I was totally astonished at the times. A lot of conjecture was out there about what an F1 Chassis would do around Tsukuba, and most of the guys I talked to were saying 45 or lower was possible, and I honestly swore they couldn't get lower than 46-47. Boy, was I WRONG! LOL

Anyway, have any of you read or even heard of this story?

I highly suggest reading this awesome book:

It IS absolutely astonishing considering he's got like half the power most of the Battle Evome guys are running and that it's such a tiny, unforgiving 🤬 of a circuit! It's a damn shame he never got a proper seat in F1 because he's without a doubt one of the finest, if not THE finest, drivers to have come out of Japan.

I've seen it mentioned a couple of times but haven't got to actually reading. If only ordering stuff from Amazon wasn't such a pain in the 🤬 here in the third world !

They're doing an interview with the author on the Fox Feed now

 

[S13DRIFTSPEC]

Screw fox. Im streaming this on youtube casting on my chromecast. No ads awesome quality.

 

[RobertM525]

If you paid for the WEC stream you have access to replays for 2 or 3 weeks, I can't remember.

Ooh. That sounds great. Do you know if it's only in the app? Or can you watch them on a PC also?

 

[MustangManiac]

Don't know about the app, I only use the PC.

Figures, some of us wasted $11 on that.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

IDK why, maybe its the Dragon Ball Z on Toonami, but I really liked that interview with Kobayashi there. Go Toyota.

 

[Sertsa]

There's a sublime beauty to the sight and sound of race cars in the predawn light.

 

[S13DRIFTSPEC]

Is that the live feed from wec? I thought it could be a dif feed since its on youtube. Atleast you get to see replays at a later date.

 

[CarBastard]

There's a sublime beauty to the sight and sound of race cars. Period.

Fixed that for ya!

 

[fortbo]

Come on Audi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Pretty sure it is. Though it's about 20 seconds behind.

 

[Sertsa]

Toyota tweeted this a bit ago.

 

[RobertM525]

Don't know about the app, I only use the PC.

Interesting. I must be blind. Where do you access the replays? http://members.fiawec.com/ only seems to have the current stream, no replays. Different URL, I assume?

Damn, if there are replays available, I may just have to upgrade to the whole WEC season. The limiting factor for me with WEC was always that you had to watch the races live.

 

[Silent Drifter]

Pretty sure it is. Though it's about 20 seconds behind.

That's what it looks like to me. So it's about 50 seconds behind the TV Coverage.

 

[Slum]

Holy **** you guys have to check this out.. maybe I'm just super drunk this late in the race, but this is freaking cool!

I don't see the replays on the site, but they are on the app. in fact, as you watch live on the app it'll give notice of recent replays and highlights.
