He literally asked him if he can do a fourth stint on the tires

Willing to be wrong, but I heard Brendon asked if he was okay to do it "physically." No mention of tyres from the radio on the WEC feed.

Buemi drove before Brendan, I don't think they will just skip a driver like that, especially at this stage, that will definitely affect the moral of the driver I assume. Unless is an emergency. Anyways, Ryo is faster than buemi,but probably a little more risk taker.

FL have really developed:

#51 3:27.890
#8 3:27.992
#2 3:27.967

FL overall #50 3:27.371

All slower than they did earlier in the weekend and all similar. So they all have sandbags.

Yes, you are right, but it is easy to assume that it would be for a fourth stint, since Brendan has done 3 already

Agreed, that's what was said. Alex Brundle was saying on commentary though that a big reason to ask him to do another stint would be to avoid changing tyres (presumably so a fresh driver doesn't have to get in with totally shot rubber).

Man, this G56 gearbox change is taking forever


Also, after having not done any development since last year's race, pretty impressive effort from both Glickenhaus cars. Surely this would inspire Jim to keep the effort going into next year. I do hope he can find some funds to do some development; if he has to skip the remainder of the WEC calendar in order to fund that development, so be it

Hartley's doing a great job in near-unknown territory, but he is losing time to the #51. I'd be surprised if they don't take new tyres at the next stop - in Toyota's case they could (just?) make it to the end on one more set, I don't think the Ferrari can (or is willing to).

Considering how many manufacturers there are lining up, I'm not sure the ACO will let him back in. I think he need to find more money.
