I have yet to have my breakfast and I fell asleep for most of the time. I noticed the Toyotas have occupied 2nd and 3rd. What happened to the #3 and #1 Audi?

Puncture beggining a lap and alternator/crank sensor replacement respectively.

 

[Phoenix]

Seems to be pretty heavy rain coming in now!

 

[daracer]

heavy rain now

 

[Foxiol]

4:00 AM here at Spain and after watching all...I think it is time to take a break and rest.

Good night everyone.

Hope Toyota does well! Tired of Audi´s dominance.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

Time for "wets"!

 

[RACECAR]

Red Bull Helmet in the #8 Toyota. Would that be Buemi in the seat now?

 

[Spacegoat]

Fingers crossed that Toyota can get both cars on the podium. Still a hell of a long way to go, though.

 

[Tornado]

"Oh, it's raining?"

*pace car stays out to keep Audi from getting a disadvantage*

 

[ND4SPD]

What's the caution for?

 

[Cano]

"Safety car period extended due to rain".

Seems I didn't miss much

Uuuuh.. Bad luck for them. Thanks for the feedback mate! But that's good news to both the Toyotas. As the #8 is in the pit having a bit of repair to the splitter, heavy rain has come down. Yikes!

 

[MustangManiac]

Front end of the #8 Toyota does not look good.

"Oh, it's raining?"

Or it's simply the fact that a field of cars potentially hydroplanning on slicks at 190mph is, erm, somewhat dangerous?

 

[Nessy]

Extra lap for the pace car sucks! scuppers Toyota's good call. 👎

 

[Skython]

"Safety car period extended due to rain".

The safety car seems to be playing a massive part this year.

They should drive at 90mph then, Toyota made the right call they should gain from it.

 

[Tornado]

Or it's simply the fact that a field of cars potentially hydroplanning on slicks at 190mph is, erm, somewhat dangerous?

Which is why the teams can come in and switch to intermediates when the pace car goes off at the time it was originally scheduled to.

 

[CarBastard]

Or it's simply the fact that a field of cars potentially hydroplanning on slicks at 190mph is, erm, somewhat dangerous?

Agreed. Without facts that support it, all this Audi hate is nothing but a conspiracy 👎. By the way, what makes you guys think rain will slow Audi down?

 

[ICEYOU]

Haha the numbers light up on the side!! Nice touch by le man!

 

[Phoenix]

Loads of cars in the pits now to change tires...

 

[TheDabbinDave]

Just mentioned "PlayStation drivers" on full wets

 

[Tired Tyres]

Typical. It's raining so they leave the safety car out. It is up to the teams to be on the right tyres, it is not the ACO's job to baby the teams.

 

[-Fred-]

They should drive at 90mph then, Toyota made the right call they should gain from it.

Gain which they'd lose after the safety car would have come back on the circuit within minutes.

 

[CarBastard]

#8 Toyota on hybrid intermediate slicks (as suggested by the double Michelin logo on them).

 

[Phoenix]

Safety car in this lap! YES!

Get a move on!

 

[Prince.M5]

The #70 Corvette is reported with more suspension problem. Reckon to be in the garage longer...

 

[Shoe67]

This will get interesting after this safety car ends.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

What the frack is wrong with the people controlling this race!!!!

 

[Prince.M5]

Audi #1 has slicks on while #2 and #3 have intermediates... Risky move by the #1 because the track will be hell slippery.

EDIT: #1 also come in for intermediates.

EDIT2: #3 is actually on full wets. Interesting..
