2017 24 Hours of Le Mans

[HoneyBadger]

What's with this race being shown in a box? Because of their giant, big ass, useless ticker?

 

[Barbara Charles]

Yes.

Next question.

 

[FLRacingFan]

It was down to three Toyotas versus one Porsche, and Toyota may find a way to lose anyways...

******** man, Audi would have gobbled this one up probably.

I hope another manufacturer is interested in WEC, would be cool to see Peugeot come back for LMP1.

I'm still thinking they come back in 2020, but I question if Toyota and/or Porsche are still around then.

The way things are going we could have LMP2s contending for the podium and even overall.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Toyota left with their third entry to go up against Porsche's aces...not good.

 

[FLRacingFan]

There goes the last bullet. Unbelievable.

 

[Kiante]

Wow...

You can't script this.

 

[Hotrod]

Just joined in since this afternoon. Did the Toyotas fix their problems?

No, the 8 is the only car running at the moment.

The #7 and #9 are retired and the #8 is twenty laps down from even being on the podium. It's the #1 Porsche's to lose now.

 

[Hotrod]

Wow. Shocking. P2 overall would be interesting.

 

[Doc Austin]

I hope the P2s kick their ass.

The ACO needs to adopt DPI as it's top division and put LMP1 out of it's misery. It's a travesty the world's supposed greatest sportcar race is as good as over when only three cars fall out. LMP1 is simply a disgrace and needs to go.

 

[Hotrod]

GTE PRO is going to be a battle. Top 10 or 11 basically on the same lap.

I think there is a lot of pressure on the leading P1 Porsche. Every little sound
and hiccup will keep them on pins and needles for the next 11 hours. Looks
like they are trying to do P2 times to insure longevity. No guarantees though.

 

[Doc Austin]

I really feel bad for Toyota. They have been a big supporter of sportscar racing, and after last year this has got to be a really nasty pill for them to swallow.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I just got up, turned on the TV and was shown how all the Toyota's went out. That's terrible.
Personally, I'd love to see an LMP2 winning his race, but that would be catastrophic for ACO.

 

[donthaveanickname]

The 1 car is standing at the side of the track now!

 

[FLRacingFan]

This is incredible. If the #2 comes back and win this...

 

[donthaveanickname]

If the #2 comes back and win this...

I hope not, but I think we do have a battle for the win now! . They're 2 laps behind the leaders, around 10 seconds a lap faster, maybe they gain the most time during the pit stops.

btw.: The 1 is now officially listed as retired.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Wow this rear wing change is terrible. Tons of time lost.

 

[donthaveanickname]

The 2 is back on the lead lap with a little bit more than 2 hours to go. They'll win if they don't have further issues.

 

[Barbara Charles]

#62 Ferrari and my boy Townsend Bell still in the race, which is an accomplishment in and of itself. Also pleased for #29 Nederland team because Rubens Barrichello is one of the drivers.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Porsche should get the Jackie Chan car in a few laps.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Corvette vs. Aston 1v1 for the win. C'mon.

 

[Hotrod]

Run Jordan RUN!!!!!!

 

[Hotrod]

Jan Mags is worried, he knows that Aston is really fast.

The Aston looks like its waiting to pounce.

 

[Kiante]

Corvette is pulling away a bit.

Taylor had to tap him a bit, nice move. Subtle, but not anything dirty.

 

[Barbara Charles]

Jordan screwup
