I was gonna call bs on the rain, but never mind, those look like rain clouds!

I agree with you hsv that oil will probably run out but electric soundless "solutions" are not the answer for solving / saving / evolving motorsports. Electric solutions can add to a certain level of regaining energy but it should not replace the whole concept of "motor" racing. I am sure we can find another type of fuel which replaces the current engine types. without compromising sound.

edit...
Weather slowly turning a bit more dark here....

May take a while, but I hope that'd be the case too... Part of me does miss the sound, but I'm loving how they can harness so much power and combine it with less drag without too much compromised in downforce. I mean, jeez, look at the racing on show!
 
Tetre Rouge rain.
 
Did the #8 Toyota pit for Inters or Wets?

Can't Ethanol or Methanol be made from plants? You can hardly say cars running on that aren't exciting

Hugely impractical due to the space required to grow the crops. But there are loads of options, with pros and cons. Electric is just the most viable at this point in time.
 
It is so weird seeing that new logo, such a departure from the old one we've always seen.


Edit: Oh look at that, Le Mans isn't the only place with "20% chance of Rain" and funny enough, the clouds came in my area just as the rain started in the race.
 
It's going to get interesting now with some cars just pitting.
 
Audi working with Jota then...
 
terte rouge seems to have most of the rain

Sorry now the pits have the rain
 
Wet from Dunlop to the 1st chicance
 
It always rains at Le Mans ;)

Yes, biofuel is a possibility. Thing is, you need a huge load of plants to do so. Using biofuel as a major way to propel cars would require so much agrucultural space that entire countries would have to starve to death, from what I've heard.
 
Soaked at Tetre Rouge. Dry as a bone after Mulsanne.
 
Split weather on different parts of track, that's exciting!
 
#2 in, Toyota are deliberating.
 
Toyota putting new slicks on so presuming the softer night tyre for the lower temps in the damp.
 
The 16 year old has gone off. Not very surprised.
 
#42 Caterham does the roundabout in the Forest Esses.

Pretty rude considering he is more talented than you.

Rain intensifying.
