Oof, still a lot of racing to go, but yeesh.
Also, anyone else find it odd that it's midnight somehow in France but it's still very much daylight and hot as crap here in Maryland
 
I cannot even begin to comprehend the skills of these drivers
Closing on a car that is doing near as 200 mph while needing a shorter braking distance , in the dark , must at least a little bit scary and they do it all night and call it fun !

Electrical problems for #93 Porsche

Its the BR Engineering BR-01 "Superleggera" Edition.

Joking aside, absolutely gutting for the SMP guys though, really tough look for them. Fair play for Isakyaan for trying his absolute best to get that car back, true spirit of the race feel there.

Also the #81 BMW is right up the #91's chuff now.

I have to say that was pretty cool. I'm not a Porsche fan, but I want one.

You and me both. Not a Porsche fan, neutral but slowly starting to root for BMW, if I saw that there was one made for my phone, and it was a decent price, I'd buy it.

Team manager just said he still hasn't come back to the pits. Can understand him.

1 minute stop & go penalty for the #8 Toyota for speeding in a slow zone!
 
#8 has a stop and go penalty for one mintue
 
#8 now has a penalty. 1min stop and hold for speeding in a slow zone.
 
Uh oh stop plus 60 seconds for the #8 for speeding in a slow zone.
 
Nighttime at Le Mans. This is really one of the most beautiful sights and one reason why I enjoy this discipline of motorsport. This has been fairly decent coverage I've seen on Velocity. More so, great to hear Tom Kristensen offer his insight to the race. I also kind of listened on the Radio Le Mans stream earlier today for the coverage of this race.
 
#93 coming back out, 16th in Pro.

Edit: Beaten to it again, really need to work on my speed typing ability :lol:.

What's up with the green lights on the Porsches, are they only green in the pits?

The #93 green lights in the headlights are only green in the pits. The Pig Porsche has red ones from what I saw.
 
Time to take a dinner break. Sunrise should be around midnight EST
 
Looks like Toyota Gazoo Racing is finally going to win, the Rebellion's are 3th and 4th but I don't see them keeping up in normal conditions.
 
Buemi warned us on team radio for this about an hour ago. What took the stewards so long?
 
Porky's drivers have cut-marks on their suits too? :lol:
 
Now Buemi needs to cool down, and be smart, because I would have a feeling he would push like hell to close that gap.

Probably considering the political ramifications of punishing the Alonso car?
