Which the original question wasn't anything to do with wasn't on tv in America.

Good to see you are your useful self again.🤬

Good to see you are your useful self again.🤬

You're welcome, kisses to the missus as well.

 

[fortbo]

Bykolles on fire.

Bykolles on fire.

Well there goes the privateer reliability up in flames...literally.

 

[Northstar]

Bykolles on fire.

Silly byKolles, you're not italian.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

No it's just the new self destruct feature in case the bailiffs turn up again

 

[acekev1983]

does anyone have a better Timing and Scoring link than the official WEC one.

[FutureF1]

As a huge Corvette supporter, that is painful...

 

[GTRacer22]

Ouch.

 

[-Fred-]

So that's where the sandbags were...

 

[fortbo]

I knew it. I knew that they couldn't have been that slow. They just didn't want to get BOP'd before Lemans...

 

[Tired Tyres]

I distinctly remember suggesting a Ford 1,2,3,4 an hour into the race. I may have been pessimistic about their pace....

 

[Roo]

I'm fairly certain BOP can be applied up to and including the morning of the race, can anyone confirm/correct?

 

[-Fred-]

That's if they can last an hour...

 

[CodeRedR51]

That's if they can last an hour...

Yeah I was going to say, being fast is one thing, lasting 24 hours is another.

 

[FutureF1]

I really hope those Fords and Ferraris get BOPed to hell. Let's get those Vettes out in front!

 

[CarBastard]

"Oh, look, we havent been at Le Mans in decades but right out of the box we're quicker than anyone! EcoBoost engines are THAT good, get a quote at your local Ford dealership!".

Yeeeah...right. I'm not a fan of Jake's cars but they're no rookies and surely their accusations don't come out of nowhere 👎.

 

[GTRacer22]

Tommy Milner and Jordan Taylor... What will we ever do about them?

 

[fortbo]

66 Ford just crashed.

 

[CarBastard]

🤬, that just sent shivers down my spine.

I remember being right in front of the TV, discussing the race with all the usual guys here and then boom...the news from the medical center.

The kind of things that remind you that Le Mans is no ordinary race.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

I'm fairly certain BOP can be applied up to and including the morning of the race, can anyone confirm/correct?

Pretty sure that's imsa and then there's the 24h series that bop cars during the race

66 Ford just crashed.

Ecoboost just kicked in yo

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

66 Ford just crashed.

That's what happens when they don't test the car at more than half throttle until Le Mans.

 

[fortbo]

6 Toyota has some damage. Pegasus P2 goes off and causes red flag around the same time.

 

[acekev1983]

6 Toyota spun between Indy and Arnage

I remember watching the race and talking on this forum, we all seemed to think it was a race-ending crash but nothing serious, somebody posted that it looked like they were performing CPR in the ambulance but that seemed unbelievable until the news came a couple of hours later.

It's especially daunting when you know he was talking to the crew workers before they extracted him.

 

[IforceV8]

Nice words, Geordi will make it go.

 

[Nielsen]

You need to download the WEC app.

The stream works fine on WEC's official website. No need for the poor app.

 

[TheElbows]

Sounds like an intriguing series of events. Ford was probably very much sandbagging...but being fast doesn't guarantee you much at LeMans. Let's see how it turns out in the race.
