Both 30 and 28 have been penalized for the penalty.

Akrapovic · 22 Jul 2018, 12:29 (Ref:3837983)

Oh, that's interesting. Both 28 and 30 penalised for that incident. Haven't seen that before, but it makes sense.

New fastest lap for Nato

And it's starting to rain harder now

Akrapovic · 22 Jul 2018, 12:37 (Ref:3837986)

Begining to rain again. It should start raining from T2 first judging by the radar.

gert · 22 Jul 2018, 12:48 (Ref:3837989)

Nato pitted and got out.
For someone who did not really impress that much in GP2, he has surely impressed me in LMP2 this year.

Akrapovic · 22 Jul 2018, 13:05 (Ref:3837990)

G-Drives final stop may be significantly shorter than everyone elses in the lead battle. They're looking good for the finish.

Edit: 28 is out of contention. They've stopped and require another splash. #29, #26 and #24 all need one more, but the #26 should be shorter.

Akrapovic · 22 Jul 2018, 13:15 (Ref:3837994)

G-Driver caught the leaders under FCY.

How many times has the Oregon car been hit in the back today?

I'm used to seeing that car off track, but it looks like today it was always someone else's fault.

Akrapovic · 22 Jul 2018, 13:54 (Ref:3838002)

LMP2 second place battle is fun, but LMP3 lead gap is coming down as well.

Done.

Ikea builds a LMP2 car? There's always that extra part left over

Although they'd prob do better than Riley did, and who wouldn't like to pick up their car and make sure they got every box and imagine all the Allen keys you'd get

The first ELMS race I watched this year. And it was good. For some reason my blood pressure rises every time I see Roman Rusinov's face.

You certainly won't be the only one.

I did it last night, but don't know if it'll show up on things like Facebook, WhatsApp and other gif searches. So if it doesn't and you know how to make it work, then feel free to copy it if needs be. It was listed under the name "confused mechanic"

And it wouldn't be an ACO race if there wasn't an exclusion. Duqueine Engineering lost its second place finish at the Red Bull Ring after a small amount — .5 percent of the sample — of unapproved fuel was detected.

Per S365:

Quote:

The French outfit used a type of fuel not permitted under the European Le Mans Series regulations in an unrestricted test session at the Red Bull Ring last Wednesday, but failed to clean the tank out sufficiently before that weekend’s race.

EffectiveSprinkles · 24 Jul 2018, 15:14 (Ref:3838522)

Replace ACO with LMP2 and you have a point.

Akrapovic · 24 Jul 2018, 17:04 (Ref:3838535)

Or LMP1 (Rebellion, Spa), or GTE (Gulf, Monza)...

EffectiveSprinkles · 24 Jul 2018, 17:06 (Ref:3838536)

Or even GTD, now that you mention it!

Akrapovic · 24 Jul 2018, 17:12 (Ref:3838540)

Yeah! Good job the poster was using a recurring joke! Otherwise things might've gotten serious there for a moment.

Very well said. You can't trust in your eyes anymore when you watch a ACO-regulated LMP2 race nowadays. You never know who is playing by the rules and who is not.
