Alpine might jump the Toyotas after their pit stops

Hydraulic top up. Cautionary, or something more?

I'm just going to say this now - this race has completely held my attention in a way a standard WEC round hasn't since Porsche left. It's great having a proper race at the front, and lots happening throughout the field.
Sorry everyone. I'm having fun. |

Don't know how cautionary could be a hydraulic top up, recall last year leclerc ferrari needed to do that during the f1 gp at spa.
Everything will need to be confirmed after the end of the race on alkamel data .pdf files but as far I've seen by now, alpine lmh has a 46-47m long stint while toyotas can be on track for about 52-53m. At this rate toyota will get a huge advantage since alpine will be forced to do 7 refuels, while toyota could finish the race with 6. Need also to say that alpine has a little advantage, despite the mandatory min. refuelt time, toyota needs to refuel 90L while alpine should be in the range of 70-75L, infact after first stint alpine was right behind toyotas after their pit stops. |

Call yourself a sportscar fan?
Feels like a proper endurance race It helps it is at Spa. The racing has been good. Interesting at the front, close in the other classes. And as you mentioned earlier, the coverage is pretty good too. |

Mike said he was just managing the tyres hence the pace.

Did anyone catch what lap times the Toyota's were doing towards the end of the last stint?
During the first stint they seemed to be more consistent and closer to their fastest than the Alpine and the LMP2. I didn't see if this continued, but the comment from the drivers may mean that times dropped later on? |

Interesting comment from Keating on Montoya! He doesn't sound very impressed with his driving today or in IMSA.

I missed that as I’m trying RLM for a bit. Will probably be going back. I just needed a break from one commentary team. It’s about this time if I was at the circuit I’d be abandoning any commentary and just watching for a bit. |

Seriously disapointed by the Corvette performance. I thought they would be better than this.

as I've heard yesterday during qualifying, corvette didn't test any michelin WEC compound so far and are using the IMSA compound ones, they just shipped the car and tires from USA
