Ahead of richard mille ferrari

Or have they fallen behind

Good. Hope it can end in atleast a podium they deserve it with the pace they have had in the Porsche

[prime pine]

How the hell is the toyota a lap ahead of p2

[autumn briar]

[prime pine]

Does WEC just have the BOP as making all cars have the same weight and horsepower?

Cuz thats what i head

Heard

[autumn briar]

NO

[halcyon pelican]

FUCLK

[autumn briar]

Vanwall into the tyre barrier

[autumn briar]

[prime pine]

Oh my god

Yea he lost the brakes

[dusty rampart]

wow that was a really bright flash

holy crap

[prime pine]

Right ibfront of the marshalls post too

[proven bane]

[tight quiver]

suprised the ferrari brake disc hasnt done that yet

[proven bane]

fr!

[bitter tapir]

JV in a shit car lets goooo

[tight quiver]

he managed to kill the engine

in that

im impressed

[halcyon pelican]

Anyone got footage of that brake failure

[prime pine]

When i did the iracing sebring 12 in the lmdh car my teammate had a crash similar to this and the engine exploded

Not a surprise for me

[halcyon pelican]

I wish they unlapped people like in IMSA

[prime pine]

Do they not?

[tight quiver]

https://vxtwitter.com/0mrg/status/1647629611742953472

[prime pine]

Aw mab

[halcyon pelican]

nope

[halcyon pelican]

damn that was quick

[tacit garden]

all thinga considered, at least it exploded on a rather slow part of the track and not T1 like the Porsche

[prime pine]

If it was the final corner that woulda been scary

[bitter tapir]

but?

[prime pine]

Lol

[bitter tapir]

why are you making this

[halcyon pelican]

WAIT BRUH...are they pasing around

Will they unlap themselves

[proven bane]

atleast it was in a slow corner!

[torpid kestrel]

"Formula 1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve is confident he can get up to speed in the Vanwall Le Mans Hypercar ahead of this week’s World Endurance Championship opener at Sebring."

[dusty rampart]

I wanna see the onboard from that United lol

[prime pine]

United car mustve shat his pants seeing that right infrobt of him

[proven bane]

bet he couldnt see shit

[torpid kestrel]

me letting a fat one rip in front of the toddler on the bus

[earnest lagoon]

You grow up karting, one day you move into single seaters and work your way up the system, scraping together sponsorship deals and working harder than everyone you've ever met. You don't quite have the chops for F2 and you move over to GT racing where you find your niche and impress everyone in the paddock.

Your manager tells you they're speaking to every current and future hypercar team in WEC and you know you'll be racing in the top class very soon. You dream of a seat in Ferrari or Porsche, maybe Peugeot.

One day, your manager calls you up: "I have an offer for you, let me put a call through..."

"Hi, it's Jim"

[trim mirage]

REEEEEE

[bitter tapir]

can i get an explanation on the hatred toward villeneuve

[trim mirage]

He’s shit.

[bitter tapir]

im not up to speed on wec

[bitter tapir]

how shit is he

i need valid points

[dusty rampart]

below average driver in an average car

[uneven coral]

I missed full 2 hours.

[halcyon pelican]

His last championship win was in 1997

[uneven coral]

2 seconds slower than his teammates for example.

[dusty rampart]

^

[bitter tapir]

understandable yes he isnt great

[bitter tapir]

thats a shit point, thats like saying Damon Hill is trash

[trim mirage]

More points scored in 1997 (81) then the rest of his f1 career (1998-2006) (78) combined

[dusty rampart]

He was never really the best driver, his F1 championship was in a Newey FW19 that was a second faster than everyone else

[bitter tapir]

yeah he fell off, mostly due to moving to BAR in the early years

[uneven coral]

If his BAR Honda didn't blow up so often.

[autumn briar]

SC IN THIS LAP

[earnest lagoon]

yep

[hybrid marlin]

Vanwall is such a horrid car

[autumn briar]

GREEEEEN

[dusty rampart]

Blue Flags - #50

[uneven coral]

Though he got comprehensively beaten by Jenson in 2003, after JV said Button "belongs to a boyband" instead of an F1 team.

Anyways Onto the racing.

[bitter tapir]

his ego was pretty ass in the 2000s

[autumn briar]

6 PITS TOO

Can they please get a podium

[dusty rampart]

#7 goes rocketship mode and gets podium over #6

[autumn briar]

Fuoco pitted in the wrong box 😭

[bitter tapir]

yo lets go the toyota mechanic fumbled

time loss

[dusty rampart]

not two minutes tho sadge

[tight quiver]

good stuff ferrari

[bitter tapir]

ferrari trying to win a race by wiping plexiglass for 2 whole minutes with a rag

[hybrid marlin]

the bop is a joke with these cars

[tight quiver]

they made a bop

that wont be cahnged until like le mans

maybe ven after le mans

to stop people from sandbagging

[dusty rampart]

This is Ryo's second year yes?

[tight quiver]

yes

in the yoter

[dusty rampart]

I wasn't able to watch WEC pre-2022 so I have no idea

okay

[hybrid marlin]

Why did alpine go to lmp2

[tight quiver]

they had a grandfathered LMP1

[hybrid marlin]

oh ok

[tight quiver]

and fia said "after 2022 you arent allowed to use it build real car"

[hybrid marlin]

Wasn't it just an lmp2 with a larger engine

[tight quiver]

lmp1

[uneven coral]

Because the FIA and ACO were just too tired to adjust the BoP of an LMP1 car.

[dusty rampart]

Are they still entering LMDh in 2024?

[halcyon pelican]

Guys, the no 5 Porsche is running

[solid birch]

I stopped watching what happened to the nr7

I stopped watching after like 30mins so I'm a bit lost

[dusty rampart]

front driveshaft sensor issue

[solid birch]

oh

[dusty rampart]

had to replace it, FIA mandated

[uneven coral]

Oh my God.

[autumn briar]

Lotterer is so lsow

[bitter tapir]

we still in boys

[autumn briar]

And he's effectively driving in the best conditions of the three

cause its colder rn

[soft ferry]

how long left

[marble willow]

Don’t tell me the 499P’s are struggling

[bitter tapir]

what do you expect from ferrari

[dusty rampart]

No they're doing amazing

But the #8 Toyota exists... so...

[halcyon pelican]

Why do I feel like some of the privateer Hypercar garages feel more bare bones than some GTE/LMP2 teams

[dusty rampart]

Maybe because they are

👀

[bitter tapir]

yeah

[halcyon pelican]

Danny Fiat

[autumn briar]

51 in the box

[uneven coral]

Just give it to Dennis Olsen instead.

[autumn briar]

PORSCHE PODIUM WOOOOOOO

[autumn briar]

Yeah or Preining

[dusty rampart]

Let Danny cook, he's listening to russian hardbass

[halcyon pelican]

I dont know why they dont just do a brake change

The coolest looking one is the Vanwall imo

Too bad it's mid as fuck

ferrari moment

[halcyon pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-gif-24177057

[earnest lagoon]

this was a brake disc

[dusty rampart]

I'm still not used to the Peugeot not having a bench on the back of it

It's so weird

[earnest lagoon]

downforce is for loosers

[halcyon pelican]

I mean the current cars just look like LMP1 cars with very simple bodywork

[dusty rampart]

simple and w i d e

very w i d e

[low barn]

Streets are saying Vanwall gave up?

[dusty rampart]

well, their brakes gave up

left front exploded half an hour ago

[uneven coral]

Except for the rear.

[dusty rampart]

[tacit garden]

[tight quiver]

[halcyon pelican]

WHY ARENT FERRARI REPLACING THE BRAKES

[hybrid marlin]

It's ferrari

Do you expect them to make sense

[autumn briar]

Dont tell here where they are pirating streams ffs

[gleaming totem]

Gotta figure that out by Le Mans

[marble willow]

Well at least this isn’t the F1 team we’re talking about

[gleaming totem]

You don't wanna lose brakes there

[earnest lagoon]

Jacques Villeneuve News (@VilleneuveNews)

A premature finish for @Vanwall_Racing in today’s #6HPortimao, due to severe braking issues.

The team have been nursing brake problems from early in the race so it isn’t a big surprise, but is a big disappointment nonetheless.
