That I didn't know, but that makes sense. Obviously you don't want to retire a car that can come back into a race.

But this has happened. Back in (I think) 1986, Henri Pescarolo was driving the Kouros Mercedes (Sauber) and stopped out on the circuit. He was gone for so long and the pit had word from a mechanic out there that all was lost so his team manager retired the car. After several hours working on the car Henri managed to get it back to the pits. As I understand it, although the car had been retired the race director agreed to reverse the decision (I suspect it helped rather a lot that it was Henri, a Frenchman who had brought it back!) and the car was repaired. Sadly it retired not long afterwards with gearbox failure.

Yes - checked for 80 and 75 - the total elapsed time agrees to the figures on the Analysis pdf (each car lap by lap) - so it’s the time that car last passed the start finish line.

Out on track retirements like No 7 would have a bit more track time not shown.

Pitstops just shows completed stops so last time in for pit retirees omitted from that (and pitstop timing line about 8 seconds or so before crossing line in pits)

Yes.

Although I am not sure it is quite de rigueur nowadays.

I remember the Mercedes in 1999 returning to the garages and the shutters going straight down.

i've exactly the same story with Derek Bell. During the night in the Porsche curves, I was giving help to friends marshals when he went out of the track, heavily hitting the barriers.Not his fault really, all the lights of the car went out all of a sudden. Slightly shocked, he was walking away when I told him that may be it could be fixed by the team. The said team had been away for a long time when he reached the garage with a really bent and wrecked Mirage. Can't remember the year tho.

Wonder what issues they could find related to a wiring loom? Could someone be playing games with disabling certain "features"?

You wouldn't think there is much variety in parts in that spec class, but i've heard rumblings of certain illegal parts being found on purchased 2nd hand cars.

You (me too) cant imagine what some smart panties can invent. Resistors on the wiring loom for instance. The "best" is to have a phantom ECU connected via the main wiring loom or another parallel one.
@Adam:As to tradition at LM, iron curtain apart, there is the last lap time you must complete it within X minutes and cross the start/finish line on the track and not using the pitlane. I paid to learn this at Spa (2018?).

Just saw the "Official Le Mans 2023" tonight on French TV. It is absolutely awful: it is a gigantic promotional clip for the event, of which the racing is notably absent. The race is summed-up in a succession of chaotic situations (mainly caused by P2 and GTE otherwise completely absent from the narrative) with no continuity, no timecode no nothing.

One could argue it is made for a casual sportscar amateur knowing little of the sport. That's OK but the main attraction is the sport, so show it please !
Very sad that the Duke editions have been written off in favor of this BS.

Well I have an opposite opinion about the movie. We can watch the whole race on UTube as many times as we want. Yes it's a kind of promotion for the event, but through a different prism and we see other things.
I liked the moment when Doriane asks for a pain au chocolat and the moment when Tom K receives his brand new driver suit among so many legends.

I bought last year's (as part of the box set) and quite enjoyed it. But like many others I'm sure, I really mourn the loss of the superb Duke videos, my collection of which goes back many years. It's a huge disappointment that they're gone - as well as being a massive loss for Duke as well, I suspect.
