I'm not sure. GT3 Lambo, then Hyper eventually? Would that make sense.
Hypercar would be great.

Thanks.

After the #22 took them out, they have decided it is impossible to now keep the car on track safely.

Kessel just stopped, Iron Dames leads. Iron Dames probably got about 3 laps till they stop.

Iron Dames are changing to Lambo! I don't think I knew that.

This is why they are driving the Porsche this year.

Ferrari Hypercar would have to be run by Ferrari? Seems to defeat the purpose. Thought the purpose was to be able to sell the Ferrari plated cars but I guess they'll just sell the old cars and build new each year for AF Corse

Seems like Porsche can sell all they can build and Jota shows you can run it well

Man, the ES guys don't know many computer dorks. My dad still runs the house on windows 3.11, and kid computer games run really really well on his old Compaq laptop, they don't run at all on the newer Dell

Looks like #47 is done judging by the mechanics actions just.

**joeb** · 11 Jun 2023, 02:54 (Ref:4162496)

Ok, going back to my G56 idea of the fast Oreca 07. Just had an interview on rlm with Stuart Cox and he was making comments about how easy the car is now that they have been slowed down by the ACO to make sure the Hypercars were faster. Made me laugh

Yeah, looked like the we could but would we be done by tomorrow looks going. That was a hard hard impact and guessing the rear ain't straight

I thought the Ferrari had started to reverse the trend, but it was probably just traffic.

Well HSR has been letting teams open up to 07s, or whatever the LMPC cars were. Savannah Race Engineering used to post their updates. They are NOT LMPC speeds and mix it up with the R8 and then the IMSA Lites cars that this year made a HELLA noise.

And another pit stop 5 second penalty, this time for the 3

**joeb** · 11 Jun 2023, 02:59 (Ref:4162501)

I like how all the hypercars have different front and rear lighting. I can tell what car i'm looking at at night without seeing the car itself.

**Adam43** · 11 Jun 2023, 03:00 (Ref:4162502)

Did the Toyota change tyres?

broadrun96 · 11 Jun 2023, 03:02 (Ref:4162503)

1 am EDT and the wife's alarm goes off to bake, might just pass her on the way to get some sleep before market

Looks like 8 lost a TON on that stop, 51 only 6ish seconds now when they were 18ish seconds before the stop

Don't think this has been mentioned, regarding the #66 crash that finished it's race.

From the stewards decision...

"There was next slow zone at MP5 followed by Slow zone at MP6. Car 39 slowed to the required 80km/hearlier than other cars behind it.

Car 7 slowed so it didn't pass car 39 under the yellow flag condition. Car 66 entered next slow zone atapproximately 165kph and accelerated to 178kph when the Regulations require cars to gradually slow to80kph.Car 66 failed to take appropriate action and collided with car 7.

Car 66 was wholy at fault for the collision"

Decision:
"3 minutes Stop and Go suspended for WEC 2023 Season for further breach of Slowzone and yellow flag regulations

Withdraw of 2 penalty points"

I think we knew the penalty, but certainly didn't see the clarity of that description. Thanks.

Not record distance pace. 41 laps behind that. And 41 laps behind last year too! We were getting giddy last year!

22 laps behind 2021.

**joeb** · 11 Jun 2023, 03:08 (Ref:4162507)

Why so the tv people insist on showing us slow motion replays of cars just making it around corners in a normal fashion? We could be watching those same cars going around corners at live speed too.

The winners of today's race will receive a special edition 100th Le Mans Rolex Daytona. It's black over white gold and the 100 on the bezel is red. Retail price is $50,000. Speculators estimate that these will change hands for $150k-$200k on the secondary market.

Button in the Camaro just took that 911 like it was a beetle coming out of the chicane

What guy would sell his? And imagine in 9 years the actual 100th running time pieces

He is bossing that car in the dark. Super impressive.

N Martin · 11 Jun 2023, 03:16 (Ref:4162512)

Pretty much daylight for me now. Still pitch dark at le mans. 45 mins until sunrise.

Bringing it up on in car. He is way quicker than the GT cars at the moment.

Kept with the LMP2, in fact catching, on the straight. Then buzzed by three of them into Indy!

**joeb** · 11 Jun 2023, 03:20 (Ref:4162515)

Watching T&S and it is acting possessed. cars moving all over the place and lap numbers keep shifting all over the place.

**joeb** · 11 Jun 2023, 03:21 (Ref:4162517)

on RLM John is saying Penske hasn't done a good job in this race. They are 4th after 13 hours in their first Le Mans. that isn't bad.
