AFAIK Nissan already said last year that the whole 2015 season will be a test for 2016.
AFAIK your Nissan bashing is tiresome and old.

My Nissan bashing? But I just got started! :(

Also, I get that they're using this year's Le Mans as a test for next year's race (although I still think it's not the most clever strategy to race in a virtually untested car).

I am merely annoyed at a disembodied voice reminding me that Nissan is "redefining innovation" at the beginning and end of every commercial break. Which is, every thirty-or-so seconds.
 
Thinking about the #18 car. One driver goes straight on in unusual circumstances, the other saying the car is slow on straights... Battery system issues perhaps? Just wondering if the mistake was caused by the charging system failing and the brakes balance suddenly changing because of that?
 
Can someone please tell me what ever happend to the Diesel programme of Mazda?

Which is somewhere around 15:00 CET on Sunday. :cool:

Hey, not all of us can work under the same time line, smart Finn. I wish I could stay awake the whole night, but I'm not the Highlander. :lol:

The #18 car had problems getting heat in the brakes, the crew pit was asking Dumas to brake later, causing him to be quite frustrated.

So AFAIK it wasn't an issue with the hybrid system.

Here in Paraguay is just 4:38 pm. I have a lot of time for watching
 
Nothing quite like sunset at Le Mans. Amazed by it every year. It's been a good race so far and I'm, like others, surprised at the low amount of DNFs at this point, as well as no major incidents, apart from the scorched Porsches.

Ah okay, makes sense why he went off. Wonder what is causing them to be slow then...

I get the feeling that its pretty dead.
 
A non-Ligier on the gravel? Indeed, it happened; the Alpine has gone off. And its rear end has taken quite the hit...
 
Appie
Very sad to hear then. :(

Worse, the Alpine is stopped in Mulsanne corner. Possible accident?

Edit: Gutted to see the Alpine the way it is. :(
 
Alpine is quite damaged.

NOOOOOOOO FRENCHMAU5 CRASHED!
 
Car stuck in the sandpit at the end of the Mulsanne, apparently lost a lot of pieces.

P.S: it's the Signatech Alpine. :eek::(
 
It drove into the gravel without any front bodywork. Odd.
 
Has that Alpine been in the wall or been hit by one of the P1 rocketships?

Wish the cars had night-vision instead of these blinding lights. And use softer lights for overtaking.

Cameras capture more light than the human eye can. That's why everything looks super bright.
 
A LMP2 on the gravel with a lot of bodywork off on the entrance to mulsanne
 
Safety car out, due to the Alpine going off at Mulsanne and the driver maybe needing medical attention
