    Doesn't look like the BoP change is doing much for us. Porsche have raced away from us and so has Corvette more so.

    It's a long old race, anything can happen, don't give up yet! How are you watching it?

    Just wish bop was done more fairly. I get, i understand it. But dont bop out a front running team for whatever reason. Think we being hurt for bahrain finale. They took away 0.7 boost, and gave us back 0.2. Thats nothing. And couple litres less fuel. Just look at the pro am timings. Our best car is 6th.

    Thought we were going get proper race in hypercar this year, but, whatever reason aco saw it fit to reduce the alpines power.

    Yeah massively disappointed with the BoP decisions across the field it's like they're happy with big gaps between cars in the same class.

    We've been penalised in every area it seems with less power and fuel. Porsche able to go a lap longer than us. Here's hoping the cooler night time gives us a bit of performance back over our rivals.

    Did you manage to sort the timing out?

    Jumped ahead of #64 Corvette due to it needing a brake change.

    Pace has picked up a little, slowing gaining on the Porsche.

    Thanks, don't have Eurosport but keep checking in on the live timing, not always a good idea?!

    Well looks like a double podium si in play after all that happened. But I already can't wait for the true hypercar era to begin. That will be something special.

    P2/3 in GTEPro is a great result, GTEAm was not such a happy picture being beaten by Aston/Porsche, no doubt the BoP again went against us, but plenty of Ferrari 488GTEs which actually finished, unlike the Baku GP.

    Never! I just thought it looked neat with the shape of the nose and livery In any case the BMW will be in LMDh whereas the soon to be launched Ferrari will be in the top LMH class

    Pleased to hear that you aren't defecting, to BMW or anyone else, and good point about the LMDh/LMH classes, it gets very confusing for this old person! Can't keep up nowadays!

    Looks a bit ungainly with that huge upright driver cockpit, don't you think? But if it works, who cares!

    I agree it's not much of a looker ATM! But I'm sure once it's got a livery on it will look 100x better!

    All prototypes have had the same driver position for a number of years. Used to be like f1 driving position. But after few accidents and drivers suffered back injuries they changed to more upright position.
