#52 is getting fuel

51 pits
oh this is mad
they are doing a driver change
#64 leading
everybody pray for the #64 to give a hard time to the #52 🙏
They jus continuing
I wonder if the gearbox will explode
i somewhat hope so for an sc
Continuing until it breaks
This is interesting
Won’t that destroy the gearbox?
it will
thats making an awful noise
2:15
#92 on the lead lap
MEATBALL HIM
COME ON MICHAEL
GOAT MODE LET’S GO
god this is stressful
KING CHRISTENSEN LETS GO

speedrun

booooo covid
GOOD
This has blown the championship wide open
#52 behind the #91
past
niether of these have issues
Yet to pit
the live timings site is doings some tomfoolery
91 pits
Congrats @lethal yacht, you're now on lap 5
dnc
the porsches needs p2 or above
oh richard lietz would tie with kevin and christisen
Who would with countback?
Bet
51 Driving around without a Gear 4 is really not good for him
nope
Good for a Danish Porsche fan however
#92 is catching him like mad
#92: 1:59:153
#51: 2:04:850
huh
Jeez
those were their last lap
yeah they were doing like 2:11s
#52 leads
and 2:15
Come on Lietz
91 on 51
wow
that car slow
1 more position for the #91 and they will be champions
Is that a GT3 car or something
GT4

sooner or later its gonna blow
Didn’t know that AF Corse had a GT4 program
it's a TCR car at this rate
Clio Cup soon
Rahel Frey's last lap was 5 seconds faster 💀
COME ON MICHAEL
Rahel 🐐
this is insane
Is the #93 still sleeping in the garage?
RSR came alive
fr lmao
done
There we go
the drive out of the corner is just not htere
what's the gap to the 52?
no clue
I HAVE HOPE NOW
Lietz needs to pass the Vette
does the wec subscription have diff camera angles n stuff
HE CANT CHANGE GEARS APPERENTLY
LOL
yea
That gearbox is so dead
look it stuck in 5th
the gearbox surely will shit itself eventually
Will he survive
it cant do an hour in 5th surely
someone threw a spanner in the works
They need to meatball him IMO
he can
he just will be slow
but they dont
since there is no danger to other cars
He was just cutting corners everywhere
iron dames 2.7 to the tp1 👀 👀
Thats not racing
the gearbox isnt throwing parts onto the track yet
they just got passed by the 46
Given how slow he is
TF Sport is winning the GTE Am championship as of now ?
yes
o:
I hope the gearbox shits itself completely
Now to see if the #91 can catch the 64
fr
implodes
OR if the #92 can get the #91
22 v 41 is fun rn
does anyone know how much the season subscription is for the wec app
eurosport's quality just sucks for me rn
8 euro for bahrain weekend only so around that for other weekends too
all i see is the 7 pound "pack" for bahrain 💀
yeah
because season ends after 73 min
yea
corvette is a min off #52
119 days days till we see action 
canada
e-yes
💀
yep
ive watched a bit of the 24h daytona prior
im thinking of going to mosport when imsa comes cos it's the only chance to see the gtp's
So:
Ferrari #51 - 120 Points
Porsche #92 - 109 Points
Porsche #91 - 107 Points (106 + pole point)
IF #51 finishes the race in P5 they get 15 Points, getting them to 135
#91 on P2 only gets 27 Points, bringing them to 134
So #91 NEEDS to win the race
#92 Must be P2 to win it
stolemn
How close is Mosport to you ? @plush valve
about an hour away
hype rn
Lietz flying
peugeot im sure have enjoyed themselves tonight
If Porsche wins this, they won both the IMSA GTD Pro title and the WEC GTE Pro title
if #91 gets past #64 he can hold #64 up so #92 can get past and we can team order our way to it
wait is glickenhaus not in this
:(
he didnt show up for fuji
they're not pulling out from LMH alltogether are they
Only real racers do the full season
not yet
the last round they were in was monza
which they almost won
51 track limits warning
peugeot rear wing cam is something i did not know i needed to see
this is spicy
#51
looool
What happened to the gearbox
Also which car because i wasnt here for a few hours
#51
obligatory championship discussion
Iron Dames can come into clutch
Please
damn guess this'll be the last szn repping porsche before the ferrari lmh comes
wait the alpine has a penalty?
38 pits for driver change
things are getting complex lmao
FINAL HOUR
porsche will finish P2 and P3 in the championship
anyrthing else is a bonus
Ams can take points away from Pros; 51 would lose championship if passed by Dames
apperently
the #51 is losing 8 sec a lap
they have to lose 3 laps to lose the gte pro title
Bro Id love Iron Dames to screw over the 51
Shii
Same lol
so its possbile
!math 49/2
49/2
= 24
its possible
Times 3?
Oh that’s like a lot
this race is fire
Lmao

"Bro have you tried watching endurance races? They're so fun to watch."
the endurance race:
fr 💀
egh....
I am dazzled
They need 12 points what is the point system for gte pro

Porsche 46 now in the lead tho for gte am
bruni celebration food
#51 is one lap behind
Ye

Also
Can the racing gods give us another miracle
Rain
Gearbox break down
He asked for a miracle okay
Once every year
you can take the driver out of Williams, but you can't take the Williams out of the driver 
16 secs between #64 and #91
last lap was 6 tenths faster for lietz
Ye that’s like the last hope?
it can happen
is toyota winning
Gonna be like:
the porsche dream fading away
Latifi would be goated in nascar
idk bro he struggles with turns
fucks sake lietz is losing to the corvette
that lap was a lil slower
51 is really going to win this insnt it
Why is Estre not in the car 
unless it falls apart yep
Wall ride every lap
exactly 
The drivers aren't though 
Latifi goated
S1 AND 2 faster for lietz
They're Americans, what do you expect
it wont be enough man

It's not looking like enough for the 91....
mood

Can't we have an LMP2 moment

Where Ferrari pit stop penalty when we need it
Missing
ferrari internatonal assistance

it's the fia, they prolly shafted it to after the race
the stewards too 😂
What?
13 minutes of gte pro left
its funny how toyota could probably stop another 2 times and still win lol
#91 is behind the Corvette?
Ye
How close
Stop then do some quali run
15 sec or something
14.7 sec ye
you can see how bright the headlights of the Peugeot just from the cockpit.
1,5 sec per lap loss pls

You want that 963 seat, help us out
Where latifi
sc now would mean race done

Yanks ruining it again

Smh Americans
Was gone for a bit
Should’ve stayed in IMSA
yes
time to cry

Ew a Ferrari fan
fucking frauds
Pulls out Glock 19
anyways thoughts on this really bad calender I made for a sim im doing
A typhoon may be hovering near your house with a meteor attached 😎
the race has ended?
But seriously I have no grudges against porsches
where are the Peugeots?
Still better then having Ferrari around
I just want a red car on the top step
hehe
What a win for the 51
Last and P4
Got away with pitstop infringements
Limps it home for two hours on a fucked gearbox
Well done
lemme guess fucked up
One died
not my dumbass reading this as "2022 fifa world endurance championship"
One finished last
Brendon Hartley 2022 FIA Formula One World Drivers Champion
Yes
Fantastic job by him btw
Nakajima has a very suitable replacement
What a great season
Isn't number 7 the world champion not 8?
7 won the race, they did not win the championship
#7 won this race, #8 won the WDC.
Ah okay mb
I just wonder why the stewards never said anything about the Ferrari pitstop infringement investigation?
8 just had to finish the race to win
Normally they let us know
Toyota drivers
That Sebring crash was fucking nuts tho
What happend then?
I've never seen a modern prototype on its roof
They were put under investigation for pitstop infringements but nothing ever was announced after it
Toyota's going to relive 2016-2017
Fr
963 better be like the 917
Does that include re-living the 2016 24h?
at least they won World Manufacturers Championship in 16'
I hope not.
I demand perfection
Relive 1999 😁
Not a surprise tbh
As much as I am going to continue supporting Toyota, I will have to admit that Toyota's days are numbered.
i wanted Alpine to win but congrats to Toyota
Toyota is lucky that Audi isn't joining
Common Audi L
Audi: We sacrificed our LMH project for F1 because why the fuck not
No idea why tbh
Hope the Scuderia cars die now tbh
Imagine retiring the lmdh when it’s weeks away from being tested on track
ouch
(Actually happened)
They're sacrificing potential world championships to instead get stomped on by Red Bull and Mercedes
Aight, gonna shoot some people in Fallout so i can keep my homicidal tendencies in check
Can't wait for next season
It's like finishing a college final and then just tearing up the paper afterwards
Porsche better win everything
smh
rare audi L imo
17 March
I need a 1970 kinda season again, 9/10 wins
I want to see what AF Corse can do.
Blow up
I think they'll do fine
If the Ferrari LMH fails, I'm going to just live with it. I already abandoned Ferrari in F1, so I can't really abandon Ferrari a second time
should i rep both lambo AND ferrari in 2024
Zero relation to the F1 team, there's no reason to worry about it
the Toyota driven by Anthony Davidson suffered the same thing in Le Mans 2012 too
But you can
AF Corse just won a title with a fuckin teenager's '96 civic for a gearbox
They will do fine with the 499P
Guess I'll just fall back on Toyota if I eventually do in the future
Still beats ramming your way to victory like they did last year
(Even though Toyota will get cucked by everyone else)
Francois Perrodo is the first driver to win 4 WEC titles
🏆 2016 LMGTE AM
🏆 2019/20 LMGTE AM

Perrodo is going to be a huge miss for the WEC grid next year

I think brand power will have to do with it

Bahrain WEC: Toyota and Ferrari clinch world titles
Brendon Hartley, Sebastien Buemi and Ryo Hirakawa were crowned the 2022 Hypercar champions in the #8 Toyota GR010 Hybrid after the trio finished second behind the race-winning #7 car of Jose Maria Lopez, Mike Conway and Kamui Kobayashi in the bonus-points finale.
The #8 Toyota crew sat only one point clear of Alpine trio Nicolas Lapierre, Matthieu Vaxiviere and Andre Negrao going into the race ...Keep reading
Rothmans and the Newman sponsors are my two favourites for the 956
Give me DHL
Rothmans, Lowenbrau, and Yokohama Advan are my top 3 for the 962
Sick
that'd be a great alternative for Penske Porsche
Perfect
it also worked well in the past:
We’ll at least see a yellow 963 f(hopefully) with hertz jota
Man time to go from WEC to F1, how boring
If KMag drops out of the top 5 I'm going to bed lmao
@halcyon pewter If Ferrari decides to do a second tribute livery, while keeping the red and yellow, they should go for Momo sponsorships
I think they might go for the red and green 499p
In America post 2024 maybe a red 499p with nart blue splashes of color 🤔
Something similar to this, maybe?
Oh shit
i was on track today at bahrain actually
quite fun
its so hard to capture a car going so fast
In the pits its quite easy
I mean I know Bahrain is dry but shit man this is dangerous
wow
Do it. It's worth it

Pier Guidi completed WEC finale using just fifth gear to secure GTE title
Pier Guidi revealed after the race in which he and his teammate claimed their third WEC crown together with fifth position that he opted not to change gear in the closing stages in an attempt to nurse their AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTE Evo to the chequered flag.
His decision to leave the GTE Pro class car in fifth gear was a response to rising transmission temperatures that followed the loss of ...Keep reading

How hobbled Ferrari denied Porsche an era-ending WEC title
Twelve months ago, Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado claimed the GTE title in controversial circumstances in Bahrain.

Peugeot "in the mix" now with WEC Hypercar after Bahrain finale
Olivier Jansonnie, technical director of the programme, believes that the pace in the opening stages of the eight-hour race before both cars hit problems proves the 9X8 was much more of a competitive proposition on its latest outing in the WEC.

Soon Toyota will be crushed under the heels of Porsche and Ferrari
(unfortunately)
Now Toyota will face some real competition at Le Mans after they won with barely any competition from 2018-2022
2023 is going to be 2016 all over again
but since BoP is a thing, we won’t know how every team will perform under it
nobody really knows yet, Toyota is still the benchmark and can't be easily dropped from their crown.

What does it say
His father passed away
My basic Highschool German figured something like that happened
@marble willow okay so I had to do some revising and I think I landed on a proper system for the classes of GT
GT1 and GT2 should be our top dogs
GT3 is the general baseline
GT2 will allow proprietary designs, like the Senna GTR, or modifications of GT3 cars, like the Essenza SCV12, which should fill a nice role
in GT4, I decided to change it so that TCR certified cars can find themselves in the class
🤨
so while TCR can do its own thing, they can also compete with the actually similarly paced GT4 cars
and yes TCR is about as fast as GT4
Huh.
I actually did some of the looking and yeah they're the same
GT4 just edges out slightly if you drive well in it
I feel like including TCR into GT4 would distort the GT4 category as a whole
Kinda like how DTM uses GT3 when it should be a touring car series
it would feel weird, but Audi RS3 vs Porsche Cayman
sounds like a reasonable battle considering their price ranges
or Civic Type-R vs Toyota Supra
anyways, GT5 will be the newly added class, but in order to be radical, I'll make it so no factory teams are allowed and it's all amateur drivers
expectations of GT5 will be similar to the Miata Cup
This also reminds me of how Super Taikyu has GT4 cars competing alongside TCR cars, minus both classes being merged
yeah
anyways, GT5 has light modifications
it'll be similar to the average tuner car you'd find on the road
so wing slapped on, some coilovers, sticky tires
and no factory teams
hmm... intriguing
fun fact in Michelin Pilot Challenge, the TCR cars have a lot of BOP at some tracks to keep them slower than GT4
Wow
this series will allow low powered cars like Civic Si or Golf GTI to battle against the Miata or BRZ/86
which will be extremely fun to watch especially with their light modifications and slow ass pace
Good for marketability and manufacturer interest, too.
well again no manufacturer teams
although Honda I know could skirt this by just having Mugen do it
right
no relation to a manufacturer
therefore
anyways, goal of GT5 is just cheap fun with mass produced enthusiast cars
also the most driver focused
because of how much it'd rely on momentum building, I could see this being very fun to watch if you want to see a highly driver centric GT series
but that's it really
all 5 GT classes
What do you reckon the series' name should be
ah I already thought of that
World Grand Touring Championships
WGTC
WGTC will have 5 different championships under its belt
GT1 through GT5
I was thinking of having the series name giving a little nod to Gran Turismo, considering how everything is GT1-GT5
but WGTC works nicely
yeah
I also thought about just
World Grand Tour
since the series will be international
and it's a Grand Tour with these special production cars
maybe
again we're not the FiA lol
anyways, I thought the best idea should be that GT1 lights the way for everything
to make logistics work nicely, each race they have is separated by 3 weeks of travel time, regardless of distance
GT1 will come in first, doing a typical Grand Prix weekend where it's 3 practice sessions with a qualifying then a main race on that sunday
GT1 then packs up and ships off where the next weekend will be GT2 and GT3
And after that's done, GT4 and GT5 will have their run
Sounds very coordinated and organized if I do say so myself
this should make logistics cheaper to operate and also not as stressful
More development time on the cars during the break would happen, if I am not mistaken
yes
plan is that there would be no more than 18 races allowed in a season
and because GT1 would be on same track grading as LMP1, you can add circuits like the Nurburgring in
so only bangers
Have the VLN layout be used
But however, what would be the other 17 that will be used in the series?
Spa is the starting race
GT1 has an opening ceremony in Spa which takes place in the morning
new dawn of the championship that year
Nurburgring should be taking place in the European area
so it'll be one of the first races along this
May I suggest putting Suzuka on the calendar?
Suzuka is in the latter half
I wonder if the Dubai Autodrome would be suitable for this series
series will end at Fuji Speedway where the symbol is that the battle was taken to the top
and ofc
ends on sunset
Talk about picturesque and symbolic
exactly
so anyways
current concept for first few rounds are
R1 - Spa-Francorchamps
R2 - Automotodrom Brno
R3 - Nurburgring
R4 - Mugello
R5 - Algarve International
R6 - Silverstone
I'm not sure about Brno
What if Brno is swapped out for Motorland Aragon or Circuit Ricardo Tormo?
if that happens then that'll be moved to uhh
R5
for Ricardo Tormo
same with Aragon
What will happen to Algarve?
So how will the concept calendar look after the introduction of Aragon or Valencia
R1 - Spa-Francorchamps
R2 - Nurburgring
R3 - Mugello
R4 - Motorland Aragon
R5 - Algarve International
R6 - Silverstone
R7 - Anderstorp
and actually
add an R7
hmmm
Maybe Aragon can be round 4, while Anderstorp could possibly be R7 instead of Brands
that could work
then send it off to the Middle East and Africa for a selection of races
For the Middle East, the Dubai Autodrome could be put to good use, but as for Africa, I'm not so sure about Kyalami
R8 - Dubai Autodrome
R9 - Bahrain?
R10 - Kyalami?
the second to last of the groups will be the tour going to Americas
R11 - COTA (basically)
R12: Road America
R13: (maybe) Circuit Mont Tremblant
R14: Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez
And then Round 15 can either be Autodromo Oscar y Alfredo Galves or Interlagos
nah Hermanos Rodriguez is a bit iffy
I'd replace it for Jose Carlos Pace from Sao Paulo
better racing experiences
Ok. R14 can be Argentina, R15 can be Brazil
Sepang, Suzuka, Fuji
But if Sepang was never an option, Zhuhai and Shanghai would have been possible candidates
yeah
cya
I'm looking forward to Nissan and Lotus
Lotus yes
