They don’t have the straight line so outside at every corner

Then I guess some others might be annoying as well. Bamber for example, Spa this year, Bahrain last year. I don't think Kubica crashes more than some of the others do. Last year at Fuji it was already carnage right after start, I don't remember exactly who caused it.

[Adam43]

A couple of GT stops, along with the damaged Hypercars.

[J Jay]

Superb restart from Vanthoor to pass Buemi.


Edit - McLarens hit each other at Turn 1...

Quick! List other crashes and races that aren’t the same! Bamber at Spa The injustice! Whoa there!

See the sad face. I’m a fan, but Le Mans didn’t sit well with me. This was just ineptitude. He locked up.

That 83 Ferrari....

[veeten]

And the McLaren clashes with his teammate in the first turn... Now, now boys...

[Adam43]

Jota BMW action!

Expected, he was superb here last year. Now the question is how does the long running pace look between Caddy, BMW, Porsche & Toyota. So far Caddy looks very strong.

The Caddy just had a lockup. That's going to cost him over the stint.

30 second stop/go for Kubica.

What ifs don't matter, it was Kubica who started the chain reaction. 30 sec stop & go.

[Toyotats03OUS]

only 30 second stop and go for the 83

[Adam43]

Super tow for the Peugeot (yes they are in the race) screen registers only 315.

Means nothing.

[Adam43]

No room at the apex there #91.

[Adam43]

In car Bamber and he manages to not take someone out. How?!

[J Jay]

Schumacher and Mortara going at it, side-by-side from T1 to T5.


Prescient comment from Davidson - "They [Hypercar drivers] are treating Bronze [GT3] drivers like pros."

[Adam43]

Go Lambo! Go Schumacher!

He's in front and had a good start

I think that's the only penalty they have for causing a collision as long as you aren't a Ferrari at Le Mans

[Articus]

Fantastic race so far (other than the incident that shall not be named...)

[Articus]

The Alpine is through!

[chernaudi]

Glad to see that the penalty for the #83 didn't take forever and a day and was probably as harsh as could be per rules.

Rubbish. It’s a joke.

How is Bovy a Bronze?

(How am I doing at this internet malarkey?)

The camera rear view mirrors are great. I like how they shape them like normal mirrors.

The director shows people in the garage. Cancel the race NOW!
