2021 24 Hours of Le Mans - Race week thread

The race needs very little introduction, it is the reason many of us are sportscar fans. It is both inspiring and unpredictable. Clear favorites on paper can fail through the night. New heroes can emerge with a single mega stint, or performance in less than ideal conditions.

This year is the first year of a new top prototype class - Hypercar. We have two brand new cars from reigning champions Toyota and two from Le Mans debutant Glickenhaus Racing. They will be joined by a grandfathered LMP1 R13 under the guise of Alpine Racing. The new cars have not had perfect reliability in the early races this year, so an overall race victor coming from this class is less than certain.

There are 25 LMP2 cars on the entry list this year. They are not racing in the same spec as previous years. They are heavier and have had their power reduced. Will this impact their reliability? If not, it will be entirely possible to have an LMP2 car on the overall podium, possibly locking it out!

In GTE Pro there are a pair of Ferraris and Corvettes taking the fight to four Porsches. Interestingly, this class features two non-platinum drivers. Cooper MacNeil in the Weathertech Porsche is Silver rated, and Dries Vanthoor is a Gold driver in the Hub Auto Porsche. The competitiveness of those cars will certainly depend on those drivers performances.

The GTE Am class is large with 8 Porsches battling 11 Ferraris and 4 Aston Martins. This class is wide open with many teams expecting to have a shot at the win.

Too bad no sponsor was willing to provide the $$$ for Andy Blackmore to make a spotter guide this year. That spotter gudie that the WEC provides just is not in the same league as Andy's quality. I prefer the cars facing left the way Andy does it too.

I knew I was going to forget a link for something! I added Timing to the OP and will also try to update fresh options as they present themselves. In the past there has been a Chrome extension called "Better timing for no race in particular" Not sure if that still works.

Hello, sorry if the question is redundant, but is there a public frequency of Radio Le Mans at la Sarthe this year ? If it is, which number on the radio ?

As far as I know -, we don't know yet. It is hoped for, but RSL are still in discussions with the ACO about it. That's the last I heard. If not, you're going to have to use data on your mobile.

Goodyear reckon LMP2 could stretch stint lengths from 10 laps to 12 laps because of the power cut this year.

Really? Surely they're fuel limited and isn't there a mandated stint length or some nonsense or did I dream that up for P2s?

Goodyear can say what they want. Stint length is defined By Tanksize/Power regulations.

It is not tyre dependent.

provided lmp2 are still using a 75L fuel tank, for sure they will consume less because gibson engine is revving lower than usual (from >9000 to <8500rpm) and all lmp2 are using really long ratios like alpine, but I honestly don't think they would be able to do 2 extra laps

kind of, even tires can influence fuel consumes somehow, but don't think is the case of lmp2.
