83rd Running Of The Le Mans 24 Hours - 13/14 June 2015.

[Ameer67]

So, is the #21 the first LMP1 that's out?

And my attempts on Rfactor at a FWD 1200hp Peugeot 908 to see what it was like convinced me FWD only would be slow

You hace to have the proper weight and aero distribution. You cant just make an MR into and FF and expect it to work well.

I did it as a bit of fun, never was meant to be serious

 

[Bram Turismo]

Toyota putting up even less of a fight than I would have hoped. Hopefully the TS050 will be a completely different animal.

Hour 10 Lap Analysis

- Rain is not coming as fast as it was before, now expected between 03:00 - 06:00 CET.

Make the distribution like 65/35 then triple the front DF and try it.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Nissan. Spirit of the Race. End of.

I hate the team, but they have won me over. They embody Le Mans. They embody the true origins of motorsport. They don't care about the armchair engineers who think they know it all, they don't care about the "fans" who want to revel in their struggles.

Kick ass next year Nissan. God speed.

Aw c'mon. Kicking the big guy when he's down is great fun

Well, you chose a rather funky car to do that with

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Jeremy Shaw needs to STFU.

 

[MustangManiac]

Love the Audi zig-zagging through the gt traffic down the Mulsanne.

How big was the engine? A pint?

Yeah looks like they just stood still since last year whilst the others moved on.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Didn't expect the throwback Nissan to go first. Whatever the circumstances may be. Was hoping that was the one to make it to the end.

Bog standard 908

Yes. Rob Leupen from Toyota said so on Eurosport Germany.
They're producing the new parts currently, completely new, likely smaller engine, 8MJ class, battery instead of supercapacitor.

Oh I thought you put the engine in what little there is of the front as well...

Nissan 21 out

Of all three Nissans, the one with the least problems, that kept going and going, has to retire first, while the other two, who have to come into the pits like every 10 minutes, can continue their "torture" drive.
Well, talk about tough luck.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Ok it's not Jeremy Shaw. Who is the ****er who won't shut up?

 

[MustangManiac]

Ferrari am taking over smoking duties from the Porsches.

 

[yzfmike]

#83 has issues.

The #22 was the 1 that was running best in 20th position before it hit something not the #21.

 

[Omnis]

I could run a fire extinguisher on casters and win GTAM.

Hopefully Toyota stays commited to winning Le Mans and keep developing the car instead of abruptly quitting like they did in F1

 

[Vinylshark]

Wasn't the #22 multiple times for repairs in the pit, too?

 

[R5]

That'd probably get a tad uncomfortable over a 2 hour stint.

You'd beat the CLMByKollesLotusWhateverWeNameItThisWeek CLM/P2-P1-LMP T128 LMP1.5 as well....

what a race!

Since I was tree'd.

 

[Davidies]

I would like to know why, out of all car companies, Ssangyong has a car ad for their Tivoli on Eurosport. I don't know if they are even big in Scandinavia.

Tracey Krohn is running in LMP2 and will still finish behind most of the GTE-AM field
