[WEC] 24 Hours of Le Mans Discussion
Given that it's race week I thought it'd be a great time to start a discussion thread for the 24 Hours of Le Mans!
What are your predictions for each class? For LMH I'm hoping Ferrari can pull out a victory but Toyota have been pretty rock-solid this season so far.
Gutted for Jota. Crashing out from P1 is hard to take. This Le Mans has been brutal so far.
Definitely a race for the books.
After Ferrari’s performance during yesterday’s hyperpole session, I have renewed hope in them! Granted I’m ready to be hurt again by them 😅
It's looking promising! Still, I'm hoping for a close fight, it'll be refreshing to see some action in the top class at le mans for the first time in years
Looking like there's a chance of rain today as well
I love this point of the Le Mans, where you just see giant light halos for the most part.
Rain + nighttime = peak Le Mans conditions imho
How did it fly by so fast
Pretty amazing work by the mechanics to get the #311 Cadillac back out, but they sure have a lot of laps to make up to get back into the race (17ish laps behind the leader atm).
Feel sorry for Aitken. Bet he's kicking himself.
these battles are great so far
Yeah some amazing racing these first few hours, so refreshing to see after the lack of competition these past few years
Ferrari on pole.... Hmmm where have I heard that before?
Yep that pole aged like milk. But hey... 24 hours before us.
Haha that was my first thought as well. Typical Ferrari pole that only lasts half way through the first lap
I'm with you on Ferrari. It would nice to see them back on top at Le Mans. Alpine in LMP2 and Iron Dames for GTE AM.
What the hell is happens in this race
Pretty crazy so far :D also pug in the lead!
Not anymore :(
Also this
Fuck that was good. Shame I missed the craziest 2 hours last evening but this was probably the best race we'll ever get to see.
Really bites to see the number 8 out of the battle after that rear lockup. Just bring it home now, GIO. No pressure, only the worldwide tifosi depending on you.
8 is still on the lead lap so could be right back in it if we see a safety car
Definitely, it ain't over til it's over.
so if this holds, Antonio Giovinazzi will have a more successful motorsports career than Charles Leclerc
This was my first Le Mans experience and I'm absolutely loving it. Looking forward to the next races.
Now it's a direct battle Toyota vs Ferrari holy shit
So I noticed that every time I tried to go to sleep, something happened with Toyota. The other Toyota crashed out just as I was falling asleep the first time.
I took another little nap and I think I heard the Toyota had spun out or went off road just as I was falling asleep. Think it was Hartley driving.
But it seems like when I wake up, something happens to Toyota. I woke up like 45min ago and then Hirakawa crashed. I'm pretty sure I heard something happened when I woke up the first time, too.
Sorry Toyota bros. My fault.
But maybe we'll get a final SC. 50min...it could still happen!
