Unrelated to the action on track, but from watching the stream, La Sarthe looks very majestic under dusk . Certainly jealous of those lucky buggers who are spectating at the track...

The graphics are brilliant. I have them downloaded already and you may not have noticed but they have provided the high and low downforce versions too. You just have to click on a tiny dot below the car on the website.Also:

Great to see Toyota on pole with that monster of a lap. However, I'm still disappointed about the GTE Pro class and the BoP, I mean,the Aston Martin is almost 10 years old car, why would they slow down the others that much just to make them competitive? What's the point of the development the manufacturers are doing? Yes I get the Idea of the BoP but this is far to much tbh
Perhaps all LMP1-H will encounter issues and fail to finish, leaving ByKolles to take the win and LMP2 to fill the remainder of the podium. Wonder what odds I'd get on that?
Or perhaps going on from that even more, a major pileup in the opening hours some how takes out all of the front-running LMP's, with all the GTE cars miraculously getting through unscathed, with a GT machine taking the overall win .
Now I'm not hoping those or the following happens this year, but to add a third possibility - remember the weather last year? It's another factor that could affect the outcome. I'm also not a Chevy-fan or anything (Ferrari ftw actually), but if Ford pulls the same sandbagging-crap from last year - I think a little piece of me will die, not because they won, but because they'll have gotten away with it again.
I just want fair, equal racing under the most challenging conditions for all. I know I know "keep dreaming"...
Yup... and it was replaced with a desktop in Spanish?Anyone else having problems with the official WEC stream? It works as it should except for the Fullscreen. Neither google chrome nor MS Edge are working, a restart didn't help either. Anyone else with this problem? It worked for Q1 yesterday...
Until this year the ACO has had to balance the GTE cars so that gentleman LMP2 drivers could still pass them without too much trouble, which I'd guess is the reason the GTE cars have stayed roughly the same pace for a few years now. With the new LMP2 regs still an uncertainly heading into this year they were probably playing it safe with the BOP, but now that we know just how much faster the new P2 cars are I'd think they'll allow the GTE cars to be closer to their maximum potential next year.Great to see Toyota on pole with that monster of a lap.

How? Bloody hell, the cars really are fast nowadays!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_24_Hours_of_Le_Mans
This pole position time is actually faster than the 1985 pole time. When there were no chicanes and cars did 230+ mph...
If it doesn't rain and there aren't a slew of wrecks, then yes. Very possible if the LMP1's stay wihtin even a second or two of this pace.Given the pace of the entire field, anyone think that the distance record will be broken?
One of the worst adverts I have ever seen. Who green lights this rubbish?Oh you've got to be kidding me. Surely Kenwood aren't doing that god awful advert with the WTCC again. That'll automatically be the worst part of this race.
The two 911 RSR's in GTE Pro have been given a performance break. Both will run eight kilograms lighter for the race.
