[LM24 Race] Le Mans 2020 - Race Week Thread

[Adam43]

And I win the predictions comp.

But we’ll have some slow stuff (SC and/or weather).

I’ll break out the predictor and lap comparison to previous years later on...

[Ferrari333SP]

Senna just did a 3:22 - speeding up a bit more now

[fieldodreams79]

How far out is the weather predicted?

Rebellion went through the SZ one more time than the Toyota. That's where a lot of the gap came from.

TuneinRadio app on an android device has plus / minus 30 secs buttons along with pause. It's about 29 secs delay for me so almost...

I was a bit slow with this hourly update

Adam that uodate is very useful thanks for posting

[Tique]

For a refuelling point of view, Toyota seems to be quicker than Rebellion. AM I right?

[GT6]

yes as they are hybrid not just petrol, so have a smaller tank

Thanks Adam. 24 has Wells in now and he is the slowest driver in the P2 field, but they're doing pretty well. Kapadia had a good solid stint. Just need to keep plugging away and keep their noses clean.

I was thinking that they had a smaller ring in order to have a similar time for the refuelling

The Toyota's have had different fuelling restrictors put in for this race to equalise the fueling.

But it hasn't actually worked....

[fieldodreams79]

On boards of the Yodas leaving the pitbox is so cool.

Thank god. And thank you.

Every so often Hindy does a countdown too, which you can compare to the clock on Eurosport.

Good to get those laps in during the day and when fresh.

Having a clean run is crucial in LMP2 this year. It always is, but with so many other similar paced cars...

Go #24

They even have a cool number

[joeb]

what happened to the byKolles car?

[Adam43]

It's reduced the time considerably, but they are still quicker.

How is it equivalency calculated? Time to fill an entire tank? Are Toyota filling up fully - perhaps they are running conservatively and have quite a bit left at each stop?

As Akrapovic pointed out Toyota have the advantage of now needing a starter motor too.

And they are pros. So likely to be better drilled.

All this together and they are quicker.

[GT6]

the 24 was up to 14th in class but slipped back to 17th now.

[C6R Racing Fan]

#88 Dempsey Proton slowly working back to pits after sitting still ~2hrs after that spin by the Dunlop bridge.

[GT6]

We all hope it makes it back and can rejoin once sorted

Toyota pitstop from a bit ago - https://twitter.com/24hoursoflemans/...437315584?s=20

smoky front right.

[Adam43]

What's going on with the Dempsey Proton #88?

[Aysedasi]

His tacho told him he had to take a break....

At a guess, a few normally reputable sources exaggerated reports of its death. Much harder to verify these things without pitlane reporters.

It is a shame as it is a basic calculation.....
