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

[C-ZETA]

When your home town centre appears in one of the ads on Eurosport...

Still better than the JVC Kenwood ads though. Comfortably the worst part of Le Mans this year. Otherwise it's been pretty great.

Well that nap was two hours longer than intended

 

[Northstar]

Just got back from work, did I miss anything worth mentioning?

 

[FoRiZon]

Porsche is #1 now. Toyota TS050 are in #2 and #3 respectively.

Lots of overslept naps in this thread.

@sumbrownkid you're absolutely right but they all have to swap drivers once and probably tires. I'm not writing them off yet

 

[MustangManiac]

I can't believe how close it is in LMP1 and GT-pro still!

#64 Corvette crashed out. Ford is realling in the Ferrari. The two Toyota's and the Porsche is only separated by around 20 seconds. 4 seconds from 1st place Porsche, to 2nd place Toyota

Full service, featuring the marker of doom.

[FoRiZon]

[Silent Drifter]

[SiriusR]

JOEY HAND JUST OVERTOOK THE FERRARI

 

[FoRiZon]

[IforceV8]

Joey used the side draft to gain that last few feet.

 

[MustangManiac]

Cannot cheer a Ford win due to there anti spirit of the race moves this week.

Come on now. We all knew everyone was sandbagging. They even got negative bop before the race. It's a slippery car. Much more than outright power. Ford deserves credit in any way you look at it imo.

Well I guess I'll have to. USA baby.

Though Risi is American too.

I've no issue with the programme or the car, and they deserve credit for that, but the manner they just sandbagged to get a ridiculous break is completely un-sporting.

What happened to #64 by the way? Just seen fb pics of it winched away.

Ford showed massive disrespect to the fans by not trying for the first 2 WEC rounds, I have no respect for a team like that.

They had some setup changes, and just lost it going over some small bumps that unsettled it, on Turn 1.

#8 slow!

Similar crash to the Proton Porsche early in the race.

 

[Furinkazen]

Could blame ACO I suppose. Audi issues.

 

[NW48]

Noooo!!! Audi #8 running slowly

 

[TS050]

Whoa, did something happen to #8?

 

[Tired Tyres]

#8 very slow.

 

[sumbrownkid]

I thought I'll never see the day when an LMP2 flashes its lights to an Audi before passing. And that day has come.
