Turbo problems for the #7?

They can fix it.

But how fast? Time tells!!


Edit - not a panic look atm.

Lots of time left, but that is a hard pill for the #7. If it is a turbo problem they are also working a lot on the front of the car.

[chernaudi]

I think they'll def lose the lead. Audi in '16 got it done I think in 5-6 minutes, but that's with a completely different engine lay out.

They'll get ol' Dead Hands Johnson in there to swap it real quick.

[Adam43]

Love the guys cleaning the screens while they fix it.

[chernaudi]

So far though both Rebellions have had a clean race, but can't match the Toyota's speed lap for lap. Both cars having issues does give them a theoretical shot, but it depends on if both Toyota's stay clean from here on out.

[fieldodreams79]

88 has found another trap. They're close to hitting for the cycle at this point.

[Adam43]

Driver back in. Come on...

It is only a true cycle if all the drivers bin it during the race.

[Adam43]

Hour 12 update.

#7 still in the lead at this point.

This right here is why 24-hour endurance racing is so compelling! As the Toyota's lead gradually grows over the course of 12 hours, it then gets wiped away in a matter of moments and turns the race on its head, reigniting that possibility of a car other than a Toyota winning. Love it...

[Adam43]

sky commentators/pundits dominate LMP2?!

[joeb]

Koby back in the car but still stationary. Going to be a race to stay ahead of the P2 leader.

Poor sod, just sat there

[JoeW04]

I’ve literally watched the feed from the #7 since the start and then have a nap and that happens, really feel for Kobayashi

[kvenom]

Feel bad for Conway and Lopez too, they've been robbed twice in a row

[fieldodreams79]

It's a painful watch but wouldn't expect anything less from Toyota!!

[gert]

#7 back out after 30 minute pitstop.

Now we'll see how fast that car really is.
It is 4 laps behind the #3. In the first 12 hours that car only lost 3 laps to the #8 so the Toyota will have to race to even make the podium

[skycafe]

I think it is the header, not the turbo. Either would be hotter then...

Just going back out

[Ferrari333SP]

Get ready for a fastest lap

[fieldodreams79]

Good deal. Get after it!

[joeb]

Did I miss any updates from Truswell today? I think I saw a pic of him during practice but can't recall hearing an update from him during the race.

[JoeW04]

Did they have any radio chatter about having to replace the turbo before?
