And they both still walked over the Porsche/Aston/Corvette teams despite that BOP adjustment in a race that was supposed to balance them.

Maybe the whole BOP idea is flawed, I don't know, but as far as this particular race is concerned it should've been enforced better.

Now there is an argument I can agree with, but the fact that two got pegged back and the others got break pre-race is a fact...which is what furi was arguing with me about for some reason.

Nah, you just argued with the fact that there was a late pre-race bop that pegged back both the Fords and Ferraris and boosted the others, which was exactly what happened...but whatever.

How many times do we have to go over this?

Probably cause the pegging didn't do anything considering they still turned over laps on par with the quali laps they produced. Which means there is a very real world chance they could have gone faster in quali.
 
What effect it had was not the issue being argued...he argued what I said, that two got pegged back and the others got a break was wrong. I agree the bop sucks and that I have no idea how to make it right. I an certainly glad it isn't my job to fix it 👍
 
Where has the time gone? This race has just flown by. Probably because it's been keeping us on the edge of our seats the whole time. Toyota can still do one on Porsche, but they're going to have to count on them slipping up in the last hour.

Don't get me wrong, I like the Ford GT and I think it's a wonderful piece of kit. If I had it my way, it'd be a "run what you brought" kind of race with almost no limits. But I don't call the shots, the ACO does and that's why I disapprove what Ford and Ferrari (specially Ford since they had the cheek to say "Oh BS, we're not sandbagging! The others are just whinning") have done this year.

If the category was called "Build the baddest, fastest mutha that has ever lapped La Sarthe and build a few homologation specials", then by all means Ford should win. But that's not the reasoning behind LMGTE, or is it?
 
Ooh. I just ran the numbers and if it's green flag running to the end, Touota will come pretty damn close to the distance record of 397 laps... I think they'll be around 393
 
Big jinx coming from 60 pages ago.

My picks to win.

P1- 5 Toyota (P1)
P2- 36 Alpine (P1)
GTE Pro- 68 Ford (P1)
GTE Am- 83 Ferrari (P3)

It they weren't behind the safety car in the beginning, they probably could have surpassed it.
