How did I end up in the formula 1 thread?

Well they changed BoP so it suited just them, so...

 

[IforceV8]

Ford simulator 👍👍

 

[Zlork]

Koba

 

[Savolainen83]

#6 made a slight off track adventure.

 

[CarBastard]

Crap, just woke up from a small sleep-break to see Kamui bin it!

 

[GTracer98]

Big moment for Kobayashi.

Kobayashi managed to save the car so it's not over.

Right, because we all know race cars run faster with more weight in them.
Sorry, but I seriously don't get why people always come up with conspiracy theories when something doesn't go the way they would like to see. You surely can't blame Ferrari, Ford or the ACO that Aston, Chevrolette and Porsche said "No, we won't bring new cars to Le Mans this year. We're just going to bring some updates for our outdated cars".

Fortunately, Kobayashi was able to rest it in the gravel, preventing something worse.

TOYOTA ALMOOOOOOST CRASH :0

Porsche radio giving the driver a boost of confidence.

So they went from 3:55 to 3:51 between Test Day and Q (after getting a break in performance) by pure pace?

Also how come Aston and Porsche are still as quick as ever in WEC and in IMSA Corvette are right with the Ferrari?

The cold facts are the ACO messed up.

 

[JC_Dude]

That 4WD though.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Kobayashi! You lucky, lucky lad. Maybe pit for new tyres just in case?

 

[lxmmy]

#8 is back on track.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Not sure if anybody has noticed it but the #6 Toyota has some damage on the left hand side just behind the front wheel after that spin.

 

[CarBastard]

WEC App comms saying that the floor in #6 got damaged in the off-track excursion.

Seriously guys, who was it? WHO JINXED IT?!?!?!

 

[Zlork]

Very bad week-end for Audi.

 

[MustangManiac]

Yes they did something the rarely do by making such a late change, pegging both Ford & Ferrari back and giving the others breaks and they still can't keep up 👍

 

[sumbrownkid]

Genius split second decision by Kamui to let the car roll instead of slamming on the brakes and creating flat spots on the tires.

That's been there since last night when Kobayashi hit a GT Car.

Audi still not quiting and trying to finish the race

 

[Vinylshark]

The cold facts are the ACO messed up.

Never denied that. In fact I said it from the start that they got the BoP completely wrong, but that has nothing to do with the ACO wanting to see a battle for the victory between Ferrari and Ford. That was simply just bad work from the ACO. Besides Porsche is getting screwed over for the last ~3 years when it comes to the BoP.

Can't afford not to in a double points race.

 

[DK]

Such off-track. Rao.

 

[lxmmy]

Manor. Taking a detour.

 

[NW48]

Manor into the wall hard at Porsche Curves.

 

[IforceV8]

WTF

 

[Bo]

Nasty hit for the #44.
