[HR186S]

Graham Goodwin mentioned the #7 is having the same issues as the #8. How many lap stints is it doing?

Hypercars are on Michelins, they haven't had a puncture all week, I think (until I've said that )

RLM reported the same a little while ago

Last short sting by 8 was more about stopping under slow zone.

EDIT: #7 just completed a 13 lap stint.

They have a work around, but it's not ideal...

What's the problem for the Toyotas? I heard mention earlier of the fuel pump but nothing since (can't watch or listen right now).

Totally different to GT tyres though.

[gert]

unconventional pit entry for 82.
Something's smoking, and it's gone into the garage

[joeb]

Welp apparently I had an unscheduled trip into the pits with my eyes closed. And for the first time in as long as i can remember, the order at the top didn't change while i dozed.

Just caught up on the past 4 pages of the thread so i feel like i didn't even sleep, thanks for the info!

[joeb]

the stream via WEC app has taken a break for me. Just showing the logo instead of on track action

and its back, just a quick nap for the stream

[JoeW04]

Seems all the internet has crashed at Le Mans

Not entirely clear. But they had fuel pressure problem at Monza.

Ta. I wonder if the cell vent filter is getting clogged up with brake dust? That would prevent the bladder collapsing and eventually cause the pump inlet pressure to fall to a point that it stops pumping.

EDIT or there's something hot causing the vent to get pinched, or its in an area of low pressure air over the bodywork, or something equally esoteric...

FCY coming up

And a ferrari nearly runs up the rear of the Alpine under the FcY.

[Simmi]

708 just slowed way down out of Mulsanne. Looked like an issue.

[joeb]

708 Pits as the race goes back green, just missed the opportunity there.

They definitely seemed to lose a couple minutes. Any word on what it was?

[crooky]

I'm sure it's been mentioned already but I like that the Glickenhaus #709 still has it's Goodwood Festival of Speed number (527) on it.

First time I remember seeing a car racing at Le Mans with it's Goodwood sticker on actually.

4 hours to go! I'm glad this race calmed down a bit after the first 10 hours or so.

[joeb]

Dumas is going quickly this stint, handful of 3:30 laps. They could end up in front of the P2 cars if they keep up this pace and the P2's require more stops.

[bentley speed 8]

Hope to not jinx it, but the doom and gloom of hypercars not being reliable has been mostly avoided. All of the cars are still running, and even the #709 is not that far behind.
