GTE Le Mans 2023
I've changed to Top 20,40 and 60 for the average comparison. I've used Top 40 for the order in the table.
Some of the cars lower down will have struggled to get 40 representative laps, but for the top ones I think it is a fair comparison (as much as it can be). Average Lap time
Interesting. The Ferraris have the pace. Other than when you make it a bronze competition and Ben comes to the fore! The lone Corvette looks good, of course. Porsche show they have some pace, despite the disappointing qualifying. And the Astons look the weakest, following the form of the year. Attached are the laps in order of faster to slowest for each car. I have chose the fastest in the table from each manufacturer. The Ferrari and the Porsche are pretty consistent until about the 30th lap. The Corvette slowly falls off. The Aston is consistently slower. It's all complicated by the driver that did the laps, but I think it'll be a battle between 3 manufacturers. Corvette only has one bullet though. Last edited by Adam43; 9 Jun 2023 at 01:29. |

I have used this as an excuse to start an GTE thread.
So who is going to be, which manufacturer will do it. Aston, Corvette, Ferrari, Porsche? |

My heart says Corvette, of course. Would love to say Porsche, buuuut if the clients are experiencing severe technical issues this wont be easily cured on the field and it is to fear that all engines are built the same way (if engine is the issue). Unless a client says dont give a dam to the seals I'll fix it myself. So, has to be Ferrari.
Thanks for this, Adam. Last edited by Gerard C; 9 Jun 2023 at 07:42. |

Really hoping for a Corvette victory hear. Ben is such a true driver and lover of racing. Still feel for him for losing out in the Ford a few years ago due to a technical error by the team.

I am torn with this one I would love too see one of the Aston's win I think it will be the Corvette.
But as I said in the LMP2 thread this one could go anywhere and I guess it will come down to who has the cleanest run. |

Average Lap time
Ben Keating: Legend. The chart is the same four cars as above, but the Bronze drivers only. I was going to match the scale, but had to increase the y axis for Iron Lynx. Putting in the hard yards and Ben will get you to the front when up against other Bronze. And probably a fair chunk of the Silver and Golds too! At the end of the race I expect we are just Gold and Platinums... |

JMW Motorsport Ferrari leading at the 6hour mark, but messed up and Now Project 1 Rexy Porsche leads from Iron Dames.
They are all on similar strategy as they all came in when it started raining recently. Porsche Porsche Ferrari Ferrari Porsche Aston Martin Corvette still 2 laps down. |

I turned the coverage off pretty much as Ferrari crossed the line as I had to get to a family BBQ.
I am just watching the Radio Le Mans post race show and I didn't know that the GR Racing car finished 3rd I was watching the battle in GTE on the timing screen and they where not even on my radar for a podium finish. |

Really surprised by the race attrition here for a class that has been around for so long and been reliable. |

Relative pace of the GTE-Ams.
Average Lap time - Race
OK, so Top 100 the Corvette isn't 1st in this ranking, but Top 150 it is - is that the Ben Keating effect?! Less drop off when the Bronze is in? Last edited by Adam43; 15 Jun 2023 at 12:10. Reason: Added race to the title. |

Well done Aysedasi, joeb, PeterY, rdjones, Richard117 and skycafe - it was Corvette that one. You had one bullet in the gun and bang - bullseye.

The battle. I've just chosen the podium. Remember it is the race amongst only these three. So if you are leading on this chart that doesn't always mean you are leading overall. Apart from the last lap.
Also done an alternative with the three cars that lead the most. Corvette #33: 66 laps Project 1 Porsche #56: 78laps Iron Dames Porsche #85: 54 laps (Kessel Ferrari #57: 53laps, just missed out here) The Corvette is coming to get you... |

I don’t think the car is really that much quicker than the rest. It might not be the quickest. If I was to guess I would say Ferrari, Corvette, Porsche and tiny gaps between them. Aston further behind.
What really separates them from the others is that the team is class and the drivers are superb. |
