Looks like the #26 G-Drive has retired as well.

You mean the ones you can't go buy because they don't even make them unlike the Fords that everyone complained about and still complain about a year later...those RSR's ?

Everyone is cheating a little when it comes to stuff like that, even Corvette has their engine further back than the road car. I don't necessarily agree that they should be able to do that, but as long as it is good racing I am not complaining.
 
#69 Ford has issues and is in the garage.

Edit: Nevermind, Ford just has no clue what they are doing.
 
:nervous: #69 Ford in for it's stop, looks like it has a bit of an issue, as they're going to change the rear deck. Wonder what's warranted the change of rear deck?


Edit: unrelated to above, but the WEC timing has gone down again :banghead:

I know that and you know that, but the way everyone has been complaining about the Ford it doesn't seem that most others do.
 
To be fair, Porsche had to move the engine further ahead to be able to fit the size of diffuser the regulations allow for. If not, the car would be woefully uncompetitive.

Apparently one of the lights wasn't working, they probably figured they should repair it before Risi said something. :lol:
 
I don't, but does anyone keep a notebook for the entire race wit things like pit stop times, stint times, etc?

Rear left light. Saw it on the feed and thought "don't they have to fix that before night?"

Should have waited to see if they got a yellow between now and then. They have what, about 5 hours or so?

The TV people do, they stick it up as a graphic every now and then IIRC.
 
I want to but it's too much to keep track of. Maybe for just one class but I don't know

Ah, that explains it, as of course they'd have to sort that before dark. Or just sort it before Risi say something, after all, we don't want those pesky Ferrari's grassing up now do we :p:lol:.
 
But it's fine to analyze as you go and notice when things are "off"

Prost and Senna in the same car! :lol:

This year, I'm exercising an 'expect less and be surprised' mentality when it comes to backing Toyota. It was far too dramatic last year.
 
Watch the JMW GTE-Am Ferrari work it's way to the lead now that their "silver" is in now.
 
As much as GTE-Pro continues to be one big battle, LMP2 is hotting up too. Mind you, LMP2 has been frantic with battles since the start, top stuff. Been keeping up with LMP2 more so the past couple of years, and this year I've been following it more closely.

Im surprised here... where are the M6's?

Over at IMSA. The 2018 M8 is joining the grid next season as it's replacement.
