Think the slow zones will add to the attrition rate at the end of this things? Without the full safety car for the rest of the map its a lot more hard running on the mechanical components than in past years.
 
Who's Fernando Reyes? Russian eurosport just praised him as a sim racing legend

I would guess going from flat out to 80kph and back again so often is harder on the mechanical's too, especially with the temperatures in such heat.
 
I'm getting an eargasm everytime they cut to onboards of the new RSRs.
 
The track looks so legendary during sunset. What a magical race! Incredible to think though that Toyota joined already 5 years ago, and it's been 10 years since Peugeot first joined the fight. Incredible how fast time goes. So sad to think it's already over for another year tomorrow.

I should totally go to the Spa 24hr race. The 6hr WEC race was already magical for me to behold, I can't imagine the atmosphere of a 24 hour race.

I have my Denso Hybrid Toyota shirt on, and my Gazoo Racing cap, and a TS050 wallpaper installed. Is it obvious I so badly want Toyota to finally win this race?
 
Not the #43 again

edit: and the #17, wonder how many P2's are going to finish.
 
Well, La Sarthe is looking gorgeous under sunset, as I'm watching the on-boards of the Fords, particularly at the Ford Chicane:

#8 car in this lap, there will be a driver change.

EDIT: Buemi going in.
 
Black and White flag for #7 Toyota for abusing track limits.
 
Enjoyable Le Mans so far.

Track limit limit warning for Toyota. Careful, boys.
 
Very impressive, that after just over 7-hours, all of the 12 remaining GTE-Pro cars are still on the same lap.
 
Nakajima made made up 43 seconds on the lead during his stint, and caught/passed the #1 which was 30 seconds ahead of him at the start. Fox broadcast questioning whether it was natural or he made up time in some slow zones.
 
Leading AM #98 has a puncture, and the tyre has fallen apart and taken the whole right side wing with it.
 
What happened to the Aston? Time to watch replays and investigate
 
98 car with a problem. Lot of debris on track on no right fender on the car.
 
Trouble for the lead GT-AM Aston
 
These Aston Martin GTEs are so fragile. What's going on?
 
Holy crap! Those heli shots down the Mulsanne is just jaw dropping!
 
Did I hear that the 8 car was warned for track limits too?

EDIT:. Major tire blow out at full speed for the 98. He never lost control but that could cut some tires. 98 pulled into garage.
 
Blimey! That was a blow out!
