[catamount39]

@catamount39 Still a big fan of the that CLM after he dumped your A.M.?

I want to punch every single member of that team square in the face and to mount their heads on pikes. I'm extremely ****ed off right now.

Porsche in the lead.

They should pit around lap 178-179

 

[vrwmiaris]

C'mon Gazooo!

That battle was awesome!

 

[Silent Drifter]

I'm watching the timing and scoring, and this looks intense. Hopefully the WEC can upload the race to Youtube. So want to see this.

I wish Moody would shut up about it being done.

NOW it's done.

 

[catamount39]

YOU STUPID FERRARI! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU BLOODY IDIOT?!

 

[Silent Drifter]

Hmm, what happened there at the end?

 

[GTFan24]

[GTFan24]

Here's that awesome battle!

 

[Silent Drifter]

Wow that's a great move.

[ApexDrift123]

Yessss toyota

 

[IforceV8]

That was Molina in the 54 Ferrari I guess, they didnt finish the race and will not score points.

Toyota winning is expected but they Porsche was way closer than they should have been with their low DF setup. However they were barely any faster in the traps than the Toyota's high DF setup so Spa should be interesting.

P1 and P2 in LMP2 were both under investigation for speeding under FCY but...?

GTE was great but did was it the tires that put the Aston's so far back?

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Serious post is serious. I'm talking about the car itself, all that internal team politics stuff I'm indifferent on.

As for the car being "sandbagged", maybe they are trading speed for reliability.

There's no internal politics at all.

There's no internal politics at all.

Thats cool?

Anyway, good win by Toyota, but I'm really impressed by how it managed to stay together even after a major crash.

Perhaps they prayed to the patron saint Hilux?

Are the turbo cars again dominating GTE Pro?

No, 911 was strong the entire race, I think the issue is Dunlop personally.

I see.

Personally I'm biased to turbo engines because based boost, but it's no fun if it's dominating.

 

[IforceV8]

They really struggled in the 2nd sector, Brooklands to Chapel. Aero grip, or lack of tire grip? Or both.

I can't picture Porsche having issues with aero, considering its Porsche. They are too damn thorough on anything they work on.

The new 911 is much better than last years car now that they have the bigger diffuser and the engine has benn moved forward.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

To be more accurate, it's better because now that the engine has been moved they are able to have the bigger diffuser. A really cool strategy call after all these years of keeping the engine where it is.

Where it was you mean?

But yeah I think the overall balance is improved and once they get the BoP corrected the car will be quite strong.

 

[SlimCharles]

The engine should be on the rear. There are suposse to be GT cars, not prototypes. If you want a mid engine GTLM, make a mid engine street car. Although is not Porsche's fault, they just do everything possible to win.
