#21 Nissan in the garage for something. And Nissan's stream is broken, it shows the feed from the #21 car on both it's own channel and the channel for #22.

Yeah I could see the driver pumping the brake pedal after I posted.

Edit: Commentators just made a good point, we are now past the race length of a standard WEC race and all 3 Nissan's are still running.
 
Rob Leupen from Toyota just told on Eurosport: Parts for next year's TS050 are manufactured now, they want to drive in the 8MJ class, with a battery, no super capacitor, new engine, most likely less cylinders.

EDIT: They might consider a hydrogen hybrid in the future, if the technology will be there ("only a question of time").

Eurosport has switched to Eurosport 2 so I'm flying blind right now.

:censored:ing brilliant, and another reason the BBC should do Le Mans.

Is there a possibility that the TS050 will replace the TS040 mid season?
 
R1600Turbo
For their first full race, sure.

I see, because it sounded like that they've competed in the other 6h races and didn't make it, at least not with all 3 cars.

No, they need more time, they hope and it looks like it'll premier in Silverstone next year.
 
Eurosport mentioned the AER for Toyota which doesn't seem right. Any major manufacturer would want to build it's own engine.

I'm putting my money it being a development of the new Toyota SuperGT engine.

The TS050 will not replace the TS040 during the season as it is not due to run until January.

Rob Leupen sounded more like they're currently developing in house, makes more sense anyway.
 
Avenatti not doing so well in the #66. Falling behind nearly half a second every few laps. 👎

Probably tires, but He was in 6th now 7th.

He just got back some time in the last lap. Finally some effort.

They corrected themselves after (or at least they did when they had the ex-Toyota aero engineer in the commentary box) and clarified that they meant Rebellion have taken AER engines instead of the old Toyota Super GT engine.
 
Michael Krumm (Nissan): "Surprisingly we're still running without major issues." They expected more problems. Driving conservative. Cars getting quicker.

They have not competed in any of the 6 hour races yet. This is their first actual race, which is really just a long test.
 
Rast getting in for his first stint. Really curious and excited to see how well he will do.
 
Top one is in 11th. Things are guaranteed to happen overnight. Top 8 on the cards?
 
Eurosport is a joke. Always has being crap for scheduling. I thought coverage was changing to ES2? Just boring cycling there.

I'm still watching LeMans 24 Minutes after nearly 40 minutes.
