24Hr Le Mans 2024

[RicRac]

Thought I'd start the thread off for tomorrow's race :-D

Anyone know where I can watch the race online? The Ferrari's look fast but not as fast as last year.
Looks like it's going to rain on Saturday so could be anyone's race. Hoping for a podium at the least!

[Aviamata]

It's raining again

[MasterTifosi]

oh no

[Aviamata]

#51 fastest car on track and #50 fastest sector 2 . We're flying

[MasterTifosi]

83 was quite fast also during the last lap, correct?

[Aviamata]

83 was quite fast also during the last lap, correct?

I didn't notice but #51 is closing up to P2 very fast , - 5 sec last lap

V. Rossi is doing great btw

[Aviamata]

#8 Toyota look like a threat , they're fastest on track atm

[MasterTifosi]

they are very fast for a while, causing a lot of anxiety

[Aviamata]

8 Toyota lapping 1 sec faster than 83

[458 Italia]

8 Toyota lapping 1 sec faster than 83

and #50

#51 is slower too.

[RicRac]

I tried to make a thread for Le mans, but it was removed.

The Ferrari's are looking really strong! P1 and P2 at the moment. Car 51 in 5th, but they were unlucky swapping to the wets early in the race and the track dried up too quickly! So far so good!

Additional bonus Valentino Rossi is leading in the LMGT3 category!!

[MasterTifosi]

#83 responded us with a 3:29, and I'm looking for more, from all 499Ps

[458 Italia]

Heavy rain now!

[SilverSpeed]

Why pit and put on slicks when there's heavy rain ?

[458 Italia]

#50 driving so slowly on the slicks.

[458 Italia]

Why pit and put on slicks when there's heavy rain ?

Didn't have the wets ready, so they let him go. should've just waited!

[MasterTifosi]

what a s. show

[458 Italia]

#51 really slow too so pits for wets.

[Aviamata]

This time 50 get unlucky with pitstop ... Only 83 is doing good so far

[458 Italia]

Noooo don't tell me they're putting soft slicks on!

[458 Italia]

Wow loosing so much time right now! :ouch

[458 Italia]

FCY so it's going to be so hard to keep the heat in the slick tyres.

[458 Italia]

The rain looks like it may have stopped.

[paolo lalli]

The only thing f1 needs now is a car that bends then the party is complete. This front wing fiasco is just a distraction between teams a bitch fight putting it mildly and red bull is the Head bitch always whinning and whinging when the competition starts to close in.

[Aviamata]

How the tide turn , now we are fastest on track again

[458 Italia]

Gio is now a lap down.

[458 Italia]

Had to switch timing source: https://24h-lemans.tv/page/6655a2c4d9988d6eb74a8e17

[458 Italia]

AF Corse and #83 have played a blinder so far.

AF Corse and #83 have played a blinder so far!

[458 Italia]

[458 Italia]

#83 caused a crash with a BMW

Safety Car deployed.

[MasterTifosi]

Nielsen somehow managed to do the unbelievable, the incredible

[Kyss4k]

This will probably be a penalty for 83... jesus christ we have the pace, but we are throwing it out of the window all the time. 10 second penalties, tyre choices, now accidents. Come ooooon

[Aviamata]

83 will get a penalty, 50 should take the lead

[MasterTifosi]

#83 caused a crash with a BMW

Safety Car deployed.

Terrible

CARS 83 KUBICA 15 VANTHOOR UNDER INVESTIGATION - INCIDENT AT MP20 AT 223506

[458 Italia]

#50 has pitted under the safety car

[Aviamata]

SC great for 50 and 51 , bad for 83

[MasterTifosi]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KId27xcuVR4

You can watch the whole story from Kubica's dash cam. Stupid BMW passed 83, while Kubica was taking it easy while overtaking a gt3. BMW went off track, returned back slowly between the two cars. Kubi had to pass him before attacking to overtake. Vanthoor was crashtapen level aggressive and reckless. They should not punish Kubi.

[Aviamata]

Stop and go for 83

[MasterTifosi]

not fair

[458 Italia]

Stop and go for 83

Where did you see that?

[Aviamata]

Nevermind nothing happened yet and I hope 83 will get away with it . Crazy how that BMW try to fight the leading car , cutting chicane and rejoining the track with full of gravel on it's tyres

Poor dog was running. Saw it on car 50's feed.

[458 Italia]

INCIDENT CLEAR - PREPARE FOR MERGING

[458 Italia]

Poor dog was running. Saw it on car 50's feed.

I saw it running down one of the straights with cars coming up behind it! It must've been scared!

[458 Italia]

Rain falls again!

[458 Italia]

Really wet now

[458 Italia]

Not necessary a bad thing that the pass around cars are taking so long to catch the end of the SC line.

[458 Italia]

SAFETY CAR IN THIS LAP

[458 Italia]

looooootts of pit stops

[458 Italia]

50, 51 and 83 pit

[PURE PASSION]

Looks like we talk here a bit for WEC /Le Mans
1st looks like the factory team make the wrong calls earlier with the tires (on the short rain) and now they are running 7th - 9th behind race leader who is the customer car (AF corse) with Kubica.
Now Kubica had a contact with BMW that caused a long safety car period. Some are talking about a possible penalty for Kubica bacause it looks like when he pass/laped the bmw ,he made a small move the the right and hit the bmw witch crashed,
Well i happend to see a video the half a lap before when Kubica tryied to pass the BMW to lap him , and oohh boy that bmw didnt respect any blue flags and kept on thying to stay ahead of the ferrari in literally any way.He even cut the S just to stay ahead!!!!!
If Kubica gets a penalty after the behavior of the BMW ?:furious

[458 Italia]

#83 back in the lead.

[MasterTifosi]

It is game on. For everyone

[458 Italia]

CAR 83 - 30 SECONDS STOP AND GO PENALTY - INCIDENT WITH CAR 15 AT MP20

[PURE PASSION]

And yeh its a 30s stop & go penalty !!!!:furious

[MasterTifosi]

CAR 83 - 30 SECONDS STOP AND GO PENALTY - INCIDENT WITH CAR 15 AT MP20

[458 Italia]

Yes well done Antonio!

[458 Italia]

Oh damn gave it straight back.

[458 Italia]

Made it stick this time :clap

[458 Italia]

Could be a penalty incoming for #50 for the pass on #7 Toyota

[458 Italia]

Antonio isn't making any progress in catching the cars ahead the gap has grown to 70 seconds to 3rd.

[MasterTifosi]

We are racing with Cadillac. Toyotas and #6 Porsche are long gone.
Penalty for #83 was way too harsh. I give up. Good night.

[Cavallino]

timing of the FCY hurt us

we need the leading cars to have issues now, or a lot of proper dry running in daytime to catch them

unfortunate

[Aviamata]

How is our race going ? I just wake up

[Kyss4k]

How is our race going ? I just wake up

It went to terrible during night, then SC saved us, but now we're struggling with pace in the wet compared to Porsche and Toyota ahead of us. We're about 1s slower per lap. Hoping for track to dry and then attack hopefully. So far we're 3rd and 4th 20s off the lead

[MasterTifosi]

We couldn't get anything out of the cars in the wet. Praying for the sun, a fantastic drive from our pilots, hoping that the rain expected at 12 would be mild.

[458 Italia]

Big (well not that big) crash which as resulted in an Aston Martin landing upside down!

[Kyss4k]

did we just lose the race by pitting under the SC and getting red in the pits?

The Cadillac will overtake for 2nd soon.

[MasterTifosi]

[458 Italia]

Everything was looking great not too long ago, it's amazing how quickly it can all fall apart. :-(

Yep this is the way!

There's the penalty :roll
