WEC 6 HOURS SPA FRANCORCHAMPS
Since no one opened a race thread, I figured I would start one where we can talk about this weekend's race!

Good shout, either way we had the same idea at the same time. Great minds, etc.
Curiously, there are two spotter guides on the race website, one with the TS050s all with LM aero and one with the #7 & #8 on sprint spec. |

SC365's Thursday report saying Auto Motor und Sport has a report on a question of Toyota's diffuser legality with a challenge lodged by Porsche.

GTLM class pace is gaining from year to year significantly too. The pole might be into the 2 min 15's which was mid to pack of LMP2 a couple years back I think. The GT3 cars for the 24 hour's of Spa might get to that too.

Not sure if there's anything to it. Reading the AMS article, Toyota says they're car is fully homologated by the ACO/FIA from top to bottom. I don't know how you can cheat the diffuser area when that's a pretty standard part for both cars. But if you read through the article, they suggest it might have something to do with a blown diffuser (which was abolished).
Anyway, going through the timing from the second session, it looks like the Porsche and Toyota are pretty close. But then you look at the fastest laps set by them and Porsche did their 1:56 on a 1 lap run; out lap, hot lap (1:56.874), box. Toyota did their 1:56 on a 5 lap run; out lap, hot lap (1:56.369), slow lap, hot lap, hot lap, hot lap, box. |

Hard to judge, the times were kind of sparse and not much more than 10 laps were run at a time http://fiawec.alkamelsystems.com

...And the WEC website has crashed due to "strong audience on our site" Also the app isn't linking with my subscription account so I can't use that either. Do children run their I.T services?

RLM commentary doesn't seem to be on any of their 3 'Listen Now' channels either.

both porsche and toyota have done laps faster than the 2015 pole position. so it is possible that they will break some records at le mans as well.
also significant, the LD cars are in front. |

First time using the app this year. Have they removed the Chromecast functionality on mobile? F**king fuming if so!
