Well, tge collision should've been avoidable. Using your mirrors while in traffic shouldn't be a foreign concept to any of the drivers.

Yes, I'm sure racing cars will make us run out of fuel. And no one knows how long we can run on fuel.

Also, I'm not saying that the powertrain of cars should never chance. But electrical engines aren't the answer, and certainly aren't necessary.

We have to look at every option. Garage 56 is for mad experimental things. Period.
 
car number 7, unsafe release... oh man, let's see how Toyota fights that call
 
Ohhhh LORDY!!! FINALLY!!! I have not found a decent VLC stream of Eurosport 2. It is not working properly except for being delayed around a minute. Not willing to send it in a PM..because I didn't find it 👍 ;).
 
Has anyone got a stream that hasn't got out of sync audio? :indiff:

The drama is a large part of why racing is exciting, and the sound is a large part of the drama.
We could replace the drivers with AI for the sake of evolveing the sport, but the sport would be worse off for it.

Advancements in technology should be done 'cause they add something or fix actual problems. They shouldn't be done just for the sake of advancements.

You DO realise that the world is gonna eventually expend its fuel sources right? The only reason we have fuels en masse is due to oil/gas, and electrical energy, in part comes from oil/gas. Electrical energy is a much more efficient form of these fuels, meaning less waste as opposed to oil/gas. Developments in technology, in motorsport, is largely going hand in hand with mass production. If the efficiency of this technology is developed, then production cars become more efficient in the consumption of fuels, which helps us not bleed out finite resources dry as quickly. In short, advancements ARE adding something AND fixing problems, on a WORLDY scale....

THAT, my friend, is a large part of the drama of Le Mans as well....

Do you want motorsport to evolve, like it always has done, or die off?

It's a DeltaWing with a different engine. That concept got beat to death last year.
 
3 cars out already!
 
Man, Toyota #7 is surely fast this year. I wonder what kind of penalty it will get from that pit incident though.

Nobody cares about what it looks like anymore, it's what makes it go that's special.
 
The #7's on a richer map, from what the commentators said. Gonna be interesting to see whether the faster pace is worth the potentially longer pit times 👍
 
Seems Audi #1 is going to do a drivers change in one of the next pit stops.
 
WOW That was close!
 
Those Audis are looking pretty racy, against each other! What's that rule in racing about team mates?

Except that concept From 2012 isn't the focus, the electric powerplant was.
 
8Star very slow.
 
LMP1 Porsche is already a lap down.... its still too early to call, but Porsche will have to focus on their strategy to climb back up to the lead lap with the rest of the guys.
 
Did I just see 350 km/h on the Audi stream when the #2 and #3 where fighting?

50/50. The Ferrari should've checked the mirrors but the LMP2 driver (what car was it?) just went for the overtake without considering the consequences.

Mardenborough in the Ligier.
 
#8 spun?

Also I don't get how the Ferrari ended up in front of both Vette's during that last pit cycle.
 
Let'ementer their quirky concepts. I mean, it just shares the track with the regular cars but basically runs out of competition. Nothing bad to come from that that couldn't come from any other car, I'd say.

Wouldn't be surprised if so.

Also, these ZEOD ads are getting really embarrassing.

The only things special about it is the lack of speed, sound and reliability.

Amazing technology right there :lol::lol::lol:
 
Suddenly #8's off. :confused:
