[LM24 Race] Le Mans 2020 - Race Week Thread

[Aysedasi]

My car, #24. Knocked a cheese wedge off. Then again, to be fair, Wells is very slow and Rusinov was probably caught out that he didn't pull away quicker.

I've wasted all that time.

Im really sorry, i didnt mean to cause any offence, i do appreciate that its important to be positive but for me i dont see the point in getting hopes up that Rebellion can compete with Toyota without Toyota throwing it away through mistakes, weather or mechanical problems. Trust me, i do this with ByKolles every race and every race they reward me with the inevitable mechanical problem.

Looking at the weather radar it seems the storms might be hit or miss. https://www.accuweather.com/en/fr/le...r-radar/135975

Yep, me too it was driving me mad looking for a pause button, so now fixed Thanks @Akrapovik.

[Aysedasi]

Well, it as been so for quite a while now. I understand what you mean though. As a Reb 'follower' it is quite frustrating....

#8 went into S1 once slow zone was already removed. Got 30+ seconds back, also used it for the pit stop. Will be first comfortably when #7 equals the number of stops.

Biggest cell of rain is right now SW of Plymouth, England, and west of Jersey.

Really enjoyed the race so far. Given the weather where I'm at, I'm not minding the race getting postponed to Sept. No need to run the fans in my house, and nice, relaxed fall morning here. Granted, I'd love for things to get back to normal ASAP, however.

Still in the pits

Come on. Let's get the comeback started...

[GT6]

The whole thing about le mans 24 hours is that things happen, cars that appedar to be walking away with it in the first few hours can hit poblems, or be hit by another car, we all like the underdog and hope. To be honest it does not always happen but it does sometimes and i have been there on several of those occasions. mazda, mclaren to name just 2

[chernaudi]

And based on the radar, it's not over the Atlantic we have to worry about so much as the scattered but heavier showers and storms coming in from the south on an off and on basis.

Le Mans might be getting a taste of Ohio's summer weather and of that of the rest of the US Midwest in summer.

[chernaudi]

And I know that the fall equinox is soon, but it's def. getting darker around Le Mans, like a clouding up evening.

Where is it affecting them? Just at stops, or on every change?

[GT6]

Well it is quarter past 6 already there

[gert]

#88 back out on track, now on its 7th lap

Last lap time: 161'45"489

[joeb]

byKolles making its way through the GTE field. Will take a bit longer to pass the LMP2's I think.

[GT6]

Lets hope it has no more problems

Kolles are only about 5 seconds a lap quicker than the rear of the P2 field. this would be an 8 hour task to make up positions at that rate.

Oh no! Wynns car with damage too

[JoeW04]

Are the Porsche’s in GTE Pro just slow or a BOP thing?

[tux]

The contact with the #57 Wynns Porsche didn't look that big but alot of damage to the front end.

That is moving west. The cells for our concern are to the South, Southeast of the circuit. And it does look significant, but perhaps the cooling after sunset will take some sting out of them

[skycafe]

Oy! Just that quickly things can turn.

The purple machine now with some involved front end damage.

[Adam43]

Hour 4.
Due to being out of sync. on pitstops the 8 and 7 have beem swapping at the hour mark.

Looking forward to watching the 24 climb back up th elist now it is back out.

Apparently, they have bet on the rain and so they are carrying a bit more downforce than the others
