[buoyant shale]

but yeah 51 to P3

8 on pole

50 to P2

[halcyon pelican]

But wasn’t lap 7 the fastest lap

I’m so confused

[buoyant shale]

well in any way his fast lap has been deleted

so

no pole

bye

[prime pine]

Exciting race ahead of us nevertheless

[halcyon pelican]

Can’t be

51 set it’s fastest lap on lap 7 didn’t it?

[buoyant shale]

i dont know i dont keep track of what fucking lap the cars are on

[halcyon pelican]

As a fan u should care

[buoyant shale]

????????????????????????????/

im pretty sure Lap 7 is the last lap he did, aka not the one he wouldve gotten pole from

since when he set his fast lap (aka lap 6) the timer wasnt up yet

so he started a lap 7

[halcyon pelican]

Hurr durr idk what the details of the laps are unless Toyota pole

That was what u were sounding like

[buoyant shale]

im genuinely so confused what your trying to say now

[halcyon pelican]

/s

[buoyant shale]

????

and now its sarcasm

im now so confused what your trying to say lmfao

[halcyon pelican]

literally this comment made it like you didn’t give a shit

[buoyant shale]

all im saying is that if lap 6 is deleted and lap 7 is kept then im pretty sure that lap 6 is probably the fast one

[autumn briar]

lap 7 was the inlap

[halcyon pelican]

WEC

[buoyant shale]

yeah because i dont
but then because you felt dissatisfied i tried to think of an explanation my man

[halcyon pelican]

ok alright

[buoyant shale]

well it just finished

[autumn briar]

its over

[halcyon pelican]

There’s only 1 pole

[buoyant shale]

well Le Mans has Super Pole

iirc

[autumn briar]

Hold tight i will move this channel to the other section

[halcyon pelican]

Yea no superpole for regular races

[uneven coral]

This is just pole, only Le Mans has a Super Pole.

[buoyant shale]

oh no Hyperpole its called lol

[uneven coral]

Lol, I've forgot about the name.

[buoyant shale]

Hyperpole is basically a thing because Le Mans has (max) 62 entries

the fastest like 20 or so cars do hyperpole

(of each class some)

but not-Le Mans races with only like 40 entries have a very simple format of just set amount of time and whoever is fastest at the end is on pole

and that for the 3 classes

[uneven coral]

Last year, it was the fastest 6 cars of each class who contested for Hyperpole.

[halcyon pelican]

Glickenhaus for pole when

[uneven coral]

I think the last time Glick has had a hyperpole was 12 months ago here.

(At Spa)

[prime pine]

glickenhaus had pole for monza last year

[uneven coral]

Oh Yeah, forgot about Monza.

They were leading comfortably the race then their engine just failed.

[buoyant shale]

ah man last year

how i not miss that tbf

so few Hypercars lmfao

[uneven coral]

Toyota had only 1 real contender last year, it was themselves.

[buoyant shale]

and the occasional Alpine

[uneven coral]

And they lost to themselves, which lead to the Alpine picking up the scraps and win.

Alpine had only 1 win on pace last year if my memory serves me right.

[prime pine]

toyota got screwed over real bad in sebring last year

with the BOP

[uneven coral]

Especially Sebring.

[halcyon pelican]

Not gonna lie

At one point of time I got confused and thought Sebring was held at Daytona

[buoyant shale]

bro what lmfao

[halcyon pelican]

Hey it was like in 2018

Back when super Sebring first started out

One thing I do miss from that era of racing was the 2 year schedule for WEC

[buoyant shale]

meanwhile WECcord is casually leaking bits of the Porsche LM24 livery about to be revealed in 30 mins

Giovinazzi found two tenths on a second quick lap aboard his Ferrari 499P Le Mans Hypercar to leapfrog AF Corse team-mate Miguel Molina and Kobayashi right at the end of the 15-minute Hypercar session.
The Italian’s 2m00.777s was good enough to give Ferrari pole by just three hundredths before the time was scratched out for the infraction on the exit of Les Combes.

I’m not sure how to feel rn. Could’ve been a Ferrari pole, but at least Toyota’s on pole, which is ok to me.

[buoyant shale]

I get the idea

but its kinda just too much stuff together

[uneven coral]

That's the same idea they did in Bahrain last year.

[buoyant shale]

i get the idea of "all iconic Porsche sportscar liveries together in one car"

[autumn briar]

I like

[uneven coral]

It looks good in the sides.

[autumn briar]

IS THAT THE PINK FROM THE PORKE LIVERY

[uneven coral]

Yes.

[autumn briar]

[eternal ravine]

No its the pink from the other Pork Livery

[autumn briar]

They shouldve done one in full porke livery

[uneven coral]

this was a lovely rendition.

[autumn briar]

My favorite

[uneven coral]

And the Rothmans livery on the other car 😩

[autumn briar]

Also helps Vanthoor won Le Mans in that thing

[uneven coral]

It looks better the closer you get to it. (the 963 Le Mans Livery)

Why does this remind me of Mclaren’s F1 livery

[uneven coral]

#7 Toyota's Honest reaction:

[marble willow]

Eh, might as well call Porsche’s Le Mans livery their “Art Car” livery, since it also reminds me of BMW when they did their art cars

[uneven coral]

BMW M LMDH Art Car might be good (via @seanbulldesign on Twitter)

[autumn briar]

[marble willow]

Woah

That looks pretty good

BMW doing a whole thing of helping small artist be in the spotlight. So I wouldn't be surprise if they do something like that

Lets see buienradar again I hope it will be a little more accurate now

(last percentage is the chance on sun, not rain)

[uneven coral]

82% rain. 😰

[autumn briar]

The first % is chance on rain

yeah

[uneven coral]

Toyota were faster in the rain, so it's a win.

[autumn briar]

meteo also predicts rain around noon

and past noon

[buoyant shale]

Buienalarm predicts nothing but then again theur 24h broadcast is shite

Theyre the best for up to 3h forecast but shite for 24h

[autumn briar]

Ngl the Ardennen have very unpredictable weather.

I guess there will be some rain in the area but it can be very local there sometimes

Hills and mountains be that way

Eifel is the same

more rain coming oop

no they arent

We are green

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THATS THE VECTOR SPORT

NOOOOOOOOO

[sharp wigeon]

What’s the no.???

Oh shit

[autumn briar]

10

[sharp wigeon]

There it is

Will they SC/FCY?

[tight quiver]

yes

[sharp wigeon]

What’s the difference anyway

[tight quiver]

FCY is like VSC in F1 but limted with speed rather than a delta

[sharp wigeon]

Right

[tight quiver]

SC is SC

[sharp wigeon]

The other United is in

[tight quiver]

the goat united

[buoyant shale]

suboptimal

[sharp wigeon]

All LMP2s are stopping

[autumn briar]

Fcy

[tight quiver]

do you hear Freitas at the track Stimo

[autumn briar]

For what

[sharp wigeon]

Hopefully they keep SC in the pits

[tight quiver]

oh lockup from the glick

[autumn briar]

Good Porsche

[uneven coral]

Glick caught napping.

[buoyant shale]

[sharp wigeon]

Ouch

[autumn briar]

How is the Glicc holding up a toyota

[sharp wigeon]

Don’t talk shit about the glicc

Good use of side stream

[tight quiver]

S2

[autumn briar]

Glicc is doing goatee stuff to manage that

[tight quiver]

you cant pass in S2

[sharp wigeon]

Genuine good racing from the glickenhaus

#36 in pits

[uneven coral]

Dumas' still really good.

Despite him being like 45 years old.

[sharp wigeon]

And not in the best car

[drowsy parcel]

Is it on YouTube or something

[autumn briar]

Wtf happened to Ben Keating

[prime pine]

WJAY TJE FUCK

HOW AE BOTH FERRARI LAST

[autumn briar]

Was Keating also on wets

[sharp wigeon]

They’ve both been lapped by LMP2

[prime pine]

ALSO I THOUGHT IT WAS START 10 MIN FROM NOW NOT 50 MIN AGO

[uneven coral]

Poor tyre call, and very slow on the slicks.

[prime pine]

bruhhh

[autumn briar]

Ferrari Strategy™️

[sharp wigeon]

Have the Ferraris unlapped themselves from the LMP2 yet?

[prime pine]

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 2 CADILLAC?

[sharp wigeon]

Bad tyre choice

[prime pine]

aw fuck man

toyota's won gg

[uneven coral]

Calm down, it's a 6 hours race.

[sharp wigeon]

#8 up to fifth from the back of the grid

[autumn briar]

There still could come rain

[prime pine]

damn

[sharp wigeon]

Or snow

[autumn briar]

Stilk dark clouds around the circuit

[buoyant shale]

Cadillac v Peug

Cadillac leads from Peug

[sharp wigeon]

#2 chasing #94?

[prime pine]

ik, i just dont see anyone other than ferrari or that 2 cadillac beating them

and theyre kinda uh

in the very back

[uneven coral]

See what happened in the 12 hours of Sebring this year ?

[prime pine]

now that i remembered it yea

lol

ig im jus overreacting

[sharp wigeon]

anything can happen

[prime pine]

its just that toyota's dominated for so long

[uneven coral]

Kevin Estre innit.

[prime pine]

ill keep the optimism in

[sharp wigeon]

That’s one of the reasons I like endurance racing tbh, so much more unpredictable than other series

[uneven coral]

That's what I love about Endurance racing.

[sharp wigeon]

Yeah absolutely

[prime pine]

it started in the wet?

[autumn briar]

Come on Sarah put a lap on the Vette

[sharp wigeon]

So many things that are race ending in a Grand Prix style race are just blips in an enduro

[buoyant shale]

F1 out here with their stupid Expect the Unexpected whilst the expected always happens

Whilst WEC and IMSA the unexpected can happen

[autumn briar]

This has been amazing so far

[uneven coral]

That was class from Christensen.

Great defense after a straight where you can do fuck all to defend.

[prime pine]

can anyone give me a rundown what happened in the first hour so far?

[sharp wigeon]

Ferraris got fucked

[prime pine]

i see

did it start raining?

or did the race start with rain

[sharp wigeon]

“Copy that mate it’s called motor racing”

[uneven coral]

Buemi crying on the radio 😭

[autumn briar]

I dont think its raining

Here at least

Eau Rouge

[sharp wigeon]

Buemi needs to man up and race

Contact between Ferrari and glickenhaus

[uneven coral]

Nothing surprising after his FE antics with Cassidy in Berlin.

And he's been like that even during his F1 stint.

A bit whiny as usual, but he's fast as hell.

[sharp wigeon]

Similar to SVG, whiny when he actually has competition

[uneven coral]

Off-track he is still a cool guy.

[autumn briar]

Sarah put a lap on Ben Keating

Nice

[sharp wigeon]

australian GP

[buoyant shale]

I was asleep so no

[autumn briar]

Is this Iron Dames' weekend???

I feel it is

[uneven coral]

Come on Pin.

[sharp wigeon]

Door to door

[uneven coral]

LMFAO BUEMI

[sharp wigeon]

Good prema battle

[uneven coral]

Fantastic stuff from Pin.

[prime pine]

Fan of sean gelael but i must say that was a fantastic move

[autumn briar]

Come on Sarahhh

[tight quiver]

first hour done

[autumn briar]

Iron Dames lead gte

Wooo

[buoyant shale]

Pog

[tight quiver]

@autumn briar is it raining

[autumn briar]

Nop not at eau rouge

[sharp wigeon]

NFA for #7

[lethal parcel]

what's the standings for Hypercar atm?

[tight quiver]

ok

[sharp wigeon]

#8 still under investigation

[uneven coral]

Will the #85 get the jump on Aston?

[autumn briar]

Please

[prime pine]

What happened?

[sharp wigeon]

Driving standards

[autumn briar]

Is Sarah still in the car

[sharp wigeon]

Pretty sure yes

[buoyant shale]

Oop Alpine

[autumn briar]

Vanwall in the batrier

[buoyant shale]

Almost

[autumn briar]

He got going again

[tight quiver]

vanwall

spun

[autumn briar]

He just passed us

[tight quiver]

oo wiggly glickenhaus

my man spun on the down

#6 in

leader

[autumn briar]

I feel some rain

Light

[prime pine]

3 jumped the 6?

94 just said it’s getting more wet

[autumn briar]

It is

[prime pine]

Just a light sprinkle there in Eau Rouge?

[soft ferry]

what's happened with the Ferraris?

[buoyant shale]

Shite strat

[soft ferry]

normal ferrari strat u mean

[buoyant shale]

Started on wets which at first was the better tires (Toyota started on slicks, dropped a ton) but then slicks became way faster (hence Toyota P1 again)

Then went to slicks but couldnt get heat in tires, were lap down at one point

[soft ferry]

rip

[autumn briar]

30+ secs

[buoyant shale]

First hour was absurd

[obsidian hare]

Where to watch???

Fucking Eurosport cut to snow

[soft ferry]

italian jesus doing work

[autumn briar]

Best part was the ferrari getting lapped by the glicc

[sharp wigeon]

And by the LMP2

[autumn briar]

[sharp wigeon]

Ferrari hypercars got lapped by LMP2 ages ago lmaooo

They fucked up big time

[obsidian hare]

I wish I could watch but fucking Eurosport cut the feed

[buoyant shale]

Id say moreso unfortunate

[sharp wigeon]

Bit of both

[buoyant shale]

Just bad luck their strat didnt turn out to be the right one

[sharp wigeon]

But, it could’ve very easily gone the other way

[buoyant shale]

More rain was expected but it was way lighter then expected so slicks became faster

[sharp wigeon]

If weather had been slightly different we’d probably have a Ferrari 1-2 rn

[buoyant shale]

Yeah if it was heavier rain

They wouldve been 1-2

[sharp wigeon]

They did with the pitstops

Forgot they had two pit boxes

[buoyant shale]

And the 7 wouldve been all the way down the order instead

[buoyant shale]

Well its just they kept Gio out for another lap whilst shouldve brought him in

[sharp wigeon]

Yeah ik but it’s funnier to say they forgor

Bc it’s a Ferrari thing to do

Now in Baku the f1 team is gonna think they have two pit boxes

[tight quiver]

#23 GOAT

[autumn briar]

Dstation closing in on the Dames

[tight quiver]

Tom blomqvist is driving his acura

[prime pine]

Acura and bmw to WEC when

[sharp wigeon]

So how many of these teams are just using the race as an extended practice session for Le Mans

[soft ferry]

w #6

[autumn briar]

COME ON IRON DAMES

[prime pine]

JOTA is

I hope so

[tight quiver]

BMW confirmed next year

acura is probably doing it next year

[prime pine]

Aw hell yea

[tight quiver]

all

thats why there is another caddy here

[prime pine]

Ohhh

[soft ferry]

next year just gonna be hypers and lmp2

[prime pine]

GT3 no?

[sharp wigeon]

Oh was there only one caddy at portimao and Sebring?

[tight quiver]

porsche is gonna use the data from the JOTA car

[tight quiver]

yep

[soft ferry]

no im saying there's so much of a hypercar grid there's no room for gt

[tight quiver]

and GT3

nah they gonna remove LMP2

eventually

[prime pine]

Oh

[prime pine]

I heard

Lmp2 is great tho

[sharp wigeon]

So it’ll just be GTE and Hypercar?

[prime pine]

GTE gone next year

[sharp wigeon]

Ouch

So WEC will just be prototypes

[prime pine]

Becomes gt3

[sharp wigeon]

Oh

[prime pine]

Add MX-5 cup to it

Holy shit

That was a move

[autumn briar]

I saw a GTE overtake a Peugeot on front of my eyes

[prime pine]

Lol

Oh

93

Cold tires

Outlap

[autumn briar]

Dstation overtook Sarah 😦

Oh its their gold driver in the car

[prime pine]

Im hoping some of these hypercars in this category can join IMSA too

[autumn briar]

Nvm

Nooo fucking dstation

Almost ran the dames of the road

Bronze

But shes a silver

She declined to become silver this season

[uneven coral]

Why?

[autumn briar]

Cause of gte

Bronze is so important

[prime pine]

Wtf were they doing??? The 777

[autumn briar]

Of you wanna race here

[uneven coral]

#777 deserves to be penalised.

[buoyant shale]

Some are

At least, Porsche and Cadillac are

[prime pine]

Ik abt that lol

[autumn briar]

Yes.

[prime pine]

But imagine a D24 field with 15 of these cars

[soft ferry]

wtf

[uneven coral]

Frijns is on fire.

[buoyant shale]

Ferrari maybe next year we shall see

Glick and Vanwall cant due to IMSA's car manufacter producing certain amount of cars in USA rule

Same for Peugeot, but if they rebadge as for example a Dodge they could

Toyota i dont see going to IMSA atm

[prime pine]

Im hoping the 31 can do well here

[autumn briar]

Fucking dstation

[uneven coral]

Especially, when it is its home race.

[autumn briar]

its wec here

[prime pine]

Idk, but wrong place to ask that lol

[autumn briar]

No F1 or ban

[uneven coral]

#formula-1 and #monaco-gp .

[clear flax]

I thought this was general sorry

[autumn briar]

/s.

[prime pine]

Lol

No worries

[uneven coral]

To get a short answer, DRS was not working for them.

[autumn briar]

No worries lol

[uneven coral]

Onto WEC.

[buoyant shale]

Yes Belgium is just a part of the Netherlands 😎

[uneven coral]

To race in IMSA?

[buoyant shale]

Peugeot doesnt sell cars in the US

[uneven coral]

I'm pretty sure there are no Peugeots in the US.

[buoyant shale]

Yep 0

[autumn briar]

Ferraris have been so close together aml race

[buoyant shale]

Ferrari sells cars in the US

They count

[uneven coral]

(apart from some old models for sure, but it's another story)

[buoyant shale]

Well they dont sell Peugeots currently

And thats what its about

And as for Glickenhaus, whilst an US manufacter, they dont sell enough cars

Basically to get into IMSA you need to
-sell cars in the US
-sell a certain amount of cars in the US

In the US they are common ye

[autumn briar]

Ceashh

[prime pine]

Does sean gelael have a seat in WEC next year?

[buoyant shale]

If Acura would race in WEC i think theyll rebadge as Honda

[tight quiver]

OH

JESUS CHRIST

MASSIVE ONE

[prime pine]

OH

[prime pine]

OH SHIT

[tight quiver]

M Y PICK

[prime pine]

OHNO

OH THATS A FUCKING BIG INE

[uneven coral]

[prime pine]

Thank god

[prime pine]

WAIT THEY WERE P3 NOOOOO

Or p2

[tight quiver]

it bottomed out

[prime pine]

Either way

Just

Man

[tight quiver]

and then just off line

you can only be flat if you are going on the racing line

the moment you get off the line you end up like that

[sharp wigeon]

Holy fuck what happened

[tight quiver]

bottomed out

[prime pine]

Glad hes ok

But damn

[tight quiver]

car went left

[prime pine]

Thats

Thats a tough hit

[tight quiver]

wall right infront

[prime pine]

Yea

I think it couldve been a bit like norris in 2021 during quali remember

When he crashed at the same part

[autumn briar]

Jesus christ

[buoyant shale]

RENGER SHIT

Fuck

Fuck

[tight quiver]

look at how he fucked up the tecpro barrier before the tire wall

[prime pine]

My heart skipped a beat

The car just looked like it was demolished

[soft ferry]

holy shitt

[tight quiver]

that was the IMSA chassi

with a brand new engine earlier in the week

expensive

[buoyant shale]

If this was 2 yrs ago hed be launched back onto the track

[tight quiver]

yep

wait this was the WEC back up car

so the #2 can not crash

[autumn briar]

Hes okay he waved at us

[buoyant shale]

Yeah i saw

[soft ferry]

must've been quite the view

[autumn briar]

Yeah

Im in the grandstand

One majestic sounding car less

[buoyant shale]

Comms said power steering failure possibly?

[autumn briar]

Only one left

😦

There's not much damage it looks like

They put it back in place

[buoyant shale]

The new runoff and barriers did do their job well

[prime pine]

Sorry if its a weird time yo ask but does sean gelael currently have a seat in WEC next year or still not confirmed?

Indonesia

Sean is indonesian lol
