Pay rise for the bloke with the bucket please.
McLaren sounds awful, the TS050 is nowhere near as good as the TS040 and the Koegnigsegg's are the only other exception I forgot about.
for me because of beer!Why do most things at Le Mans always happen at night when you wanna get some sleep for a couple of hours?![]()
the McLaren sounding bad is an opinion
and just because it doesn't sound as good as last year doesn't mean it sounds bad overall
anyway...

But they shouldn't. I can't stand the artificial-ness of modern turbos. Ruins just about every engine. That clean, visceral roar of an NA engine is something that cannot be rid of from the automotive world. Race cars have to have a raw emotion to them, like the Corvette, 458, Porsche and Aston.
This is a great example of how far we've come with motorsport.
Engines are a fraction of the size, miles lighter, use probably 10% of the fuel that does, yet they kick out even more power and they can be pushed even harder.
We don't remind ourselves of it much, but motoring in general would be in a much poorer place if it wasn't for the technology we've seen developed in motorsport. We really have come on leaps and bounds.
It's the race's way of making sure you stay awake.Why do most things at Le Mans always happen at night when you wanna get some sleep for a couple of hours?![]()
And then a lot more or a leaky car ahead through the Porsche curves (on the oil'y section), might be some scary moments in the dark.Very small spatters of rain at tetre rouge. A little humid as well apparently.
Radar is clear...
Commentator, are answering a question about having GT3 cars as well at Le Mans. They said, problem won't happen, but there could be a chance, that they could replace all the GTE cars. They said that GT3 cars were cheaper than the GTE cars. It would also open it up for more manufactures, like Nissian, BMW, Audi, Bentley.

I'd say GT3 and GTE are racing each other to see who can self-implode first.Commentator, are answering a question about having GT3 cars as well at Le Mans. They said, problem won't happen, but there could be a chance, that they could replace all the GTE cars. They said that GT3 cars were cheaper than the GTE cars.

Which is silly as manufacturer support is banned in GT3.
