Cadillac and BMW have made the break over Toyota with this pit stop.

Dawn is approaching.

Soft tires and cooler track temps have made a big difference, Toyota hasnt run a full soft set for some reason.

Barrichello is up to P2 in the GT3 class. Still has to pit, right?

Btw in case anyone doesn't know, one of his teammates is Gabe Newell's son.

That’s an unexpected fun fact.

 

[NotThePrez]

That’s an unexpected fun fact.

Yup. Gabe is one of The Heart of Racing's co-founders, too.

 

[Skygrasper550]

That’s an unexpected fun fact.

Yeah color me surprised when I found out yesterday 😂

 

[Savolainen83]

Yup. Gabe is one of The Heart of Racing's co-founders, too.

And he's driving car #23. Half-Life 3 confirmed*?

(*only played a little bit of a demo for the first one,nothing more)

 

[IforceV8]

Soft tires on the 7 Toyota.

 

[suomi1]

New issues for #19.

Stan. keeps playing up. At least I got to see my home town do their thing in the NBA.

#38 Caddy is back in the pits and disassembled again.

Better in the pits where you have a wc, than in the car shared by your team mates.

 

[Skygrasper550]

Slow zone at Mulsanne kink, one of the LMP2's binned it at the square corner.

 

[Savolainen83]

LMP2's starting to act up as morning comes.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Is there access to live timing without a paywall?

 

[Imbissbrunto]

A bit out of pace everytime I can...

So now we've got #83 Ferrari sneakily trying to make its way through the top spots, interesting.

You can tell the #83‘s drivers are giving it everything they can but their car seems to lack pace this year compared to the other cars.

I‘m actually quite surprised how fast the Alpine‘s are on the straights, even with the aid of slipstream the Ferrari‘s aren’t really able to catch up to them.

 

[Savolainen83]

@ Indianapolis curve

Edit: #38 Cadillac retires.

 

[Skygrasper550]

Driver swap for the #30 LMP2. Doriane's turn again.

I have to say, Toyota's strategy is nerve-wracking. They REALLY want this win.

 

[Savolainen83]

#17 retires with a broken suspension.

 

[05XR8]

Yup. Welp that’s that.

 

[Skython]

Gap to the lead Cadillac has just halved after that pitstop, they seem to have had a slower stop, and then struggled on cold tyres

They are surrounded by cars that received evos, and they are less than two tenth slower than last year. It's not significantly slower, to be honest.

#17 retires with a broken suspension.

Real tough, especially since they were so far into the race. Oh well, at least they can scratch off that part in their "Welcome to Le Mans" bingo card.

 

[suomi1]

Drive through for the #12 !

 

[Skygrasper550]

Drive through for the #12 !

HUUUUUGGEE drama, and they need to serve it now

 

[Imbissbrunto]

Drive through for the #12 !

Apparently Deletraz ignored (or didn't slow down enough during) an FCY.

 

[IforceV8]

I dont get that, watching the onboard he slowed down when the marshaling system said at the Goodyear bridge. The 8 had the same thing happen back at the Ford chicane.

 

[Savolainen83]

FCY!

The rules have changed this year; now they must already be at 80km/h when they enter the slow zone.
