[LM24] Le Mans 2023 Practice & Qualifying Thread

[Toyotats03OUS]

The Toyota seem to be able to get in the 340s top speed very easy. #8 342.3

WEC site has live timing as well

And the Timing71 overlay works with it too

Way too much drama for this early in the session. Multiple cars off track and into barriers

Who was driving the #31 when it went off?

[Toyotats03OUS]

Are these engine rebuild after every practice session? or they run with the same power unit through practice and the race?

[Sodemo]

I had the pleasure of meeting Neville Hay many years back whilst working a job at Monza, quite the character. He always used to do the night stint in the comms box from what I recall?

I've tried a handful of times and get nothing from Timing71 and I have no stream

I'll just try to listen in for a while....

Edit - found a stream!

Yay Iron Dames!

it is on Motortrend+ if you have $5.00 to spare for the month

[veeten]

Not bad.

Thanks. Dissapointing to see a driver of his caliber make that kind of mistake at this point.

I shall keep it in check from now on. A few problems for LMP2 cars so far. I hope this isn't too much of a Trainwreck for Peugeot. I really do like to see different ideas and variety in sports car racing. Its kind of sad to see them like this.

And JJ is a half second quicker than Jenson, ATM.

[veeten]

Uh oh, shunt at Indianapolis turn. Slow zone.

Impressive stuff! But tbh, this is his kind of car to drive, not something without fenders!

Hard to get some good times in now with all the cars going off.

[veeten]

okay, car is cleared. Back to the action!

Well, JB broke himself in at COTA earlier this year with fenders, but true on unclear track.

BUT, we know Rocky is gonna be the quickest

[fieldodreams79]

And Jenson is now a second and a half quicker than JJ

[rdjones]

There seems to be a lot of laps being deleted from track limits. A lot of them seem to be at marshal post 6 (Terte Rouge...???)
