It is not even possible to pay for it if I wanted to.
Eurosport has been removed from the completely package, even the most expensive ones.

So no competition for Toyota this year either? Less than one hour and already one minute between them and the other so called hypercars. Sure, the GT racing is usually great, but the top of the field really is lacking something.

I think you might have tuned in during the pitstop sequence and dropped an angry post buddy.

I don't disagree the Hypercar field is a few cars light though.

Ah, that sounds better. I was befuddled by time zones and missed the start and just checked the website, lacking any commentary. I thought I was going to hear RLM talking before the race start...

I was hoping for Peugeot to come in and if not fight for wins at least shake things up a bit. But, like I said, I think most of us have learned to look where the GT fights are, right?

Live timing - I've downloaded the timing71 beta from the chrome web store. Then when you go to the wec timing website, there's a little button to click and open up the detailed timing. Unfortunately it doens't appear you can edit columns, so you get a bunch of data that doesn't frequently change pushing relevant stuff off screen.

Edit: Unless you zoom way out.

Ferrari are getting their Le Mans BoP claim in early, aren't they?

Yeah was thinking that. They are dog slow.

This Hypercar BoP is quite fun. Come on, Alpine!

I'm not surprised the Alpine is faster but I am surprised by how much.

Dumas just said on an interview that they lost twenty seconds because they thought there was going to be a safetycar and it wasn't.

He must have slowed to a crawl when the FCY was initially signalled. Must be why Eduardo was repeatedly yelling for it to be cancelled.

If we keep running like this the Alpine will put a lap on the Toyotas in another couple of hours.

I had to work for a bit and missed that part of the race. Was it for the Inter-Europol car?

REally damaged looking tire that came off of Ogier's car.

Yep correct. Did a power re-cycle a couple of times out on track.

Been impressed with young Josh Pierson so far. And a nice cameo stint from Colombo for Prema.

Just had an interview with young Josh, boy does he look like a kid

J Jay · 18 Mar 2022, 19:31 (Ref:4103154)

Big smash. Hope Pechito is okay.

**joeb** · 18 Mar 2022, 19:32 (Ref:4103155)

why was Lopez going so fast with a damaged car?????

broadrun96 · 18 Mar 2022, 19:32 (Ref:4103156)

HOLY DAMN, something had to be stuck there. He was FLYING in to the corner. First incident 100% on him but he needs to slow down with damage

Watching the replays, he has to be let go from the team. That's 100% on him for both the error and them binning the car, UNLESS the throttle stuck. There's no debate about the first incident, that's on him cutting off the Porsche just being impatient. And then FLYING trying to return to the pits

Well done TV crew with the road works sign used.

Hawkwood · 18 Mar 2022, 19:33 (Ref:4103157)

Luckily he managed to get out quickly!

He didn't realise that it was that badly damaged. Touring car driver jokes aside, he wouldn't be going that fast if he knew he had little to no steering.

Ferrari333SP · 18 Mar 2022, 19:34 (Ref:4103159)

Ugh, this will be a good hour of stoppage

veeten · 18 Mar 2022, 19:34 (Ref:4103160)

That hit into the barrier took out his steering. Should have just brought it in slow.

If he didn't realize it's broken after hitting the wall then he needs to be sitting at home on Forza. The bodywork was bouncing CLEARLY and then smoke everywhere so that's on him

veeten · 18 Mar 2022, 19:41 (Ref:4103162)

That set-to with that porsche, what in hell was that about?!!

On the bodywork, I'd question if he could see how much it was bouncing/out of place from his seating position. Damaged - yes, obviously. Knowing it was going to suddenly limit his steering/braking, possibly not. He made it almost halfway round before he lost control completely.

Massive increase in smoke though, no excuses there. And yes, he should have been nursing it from the spin to the pits. He only has himself to blame from start to finish.

I think you are right, the problems seemed to cascade quickly. That being said, he got up to speed right away and maybe should have been told to take it easy on way back to pits?

seanyb505 · 18 Mar 2022, 19:53 (Ref:4103167)

So it's likely we'll have 3.5-4 hours left of racing when all said and done. How does Alpine run the rest of the race? Same as always and hope they happen to be in front at 8pm?
