Practice 1 & 2 have concluded with Toyota (obviously) up front, the #8 car leading both sessions in lmp1. The gap between them and the next lmp1 is about 1.7 seconds.

In lmp2 the Signatec Alpine Oreca led while in GTE the new Aston Martin is the pace setter so far. Practice 3 is in 30 minutes and has been extended from 60 to 90 minutes due to stoppages in both the first two practice sessions. Those stoppages were from curbing being broken and ripped up by cars which needed work on the track.

I'm hoping there's something in terms of free streaming for the race. Anyway it was a good qualifying session. Aston Martin and BMW on the front row in GTE, and then in lmp1 the #7 pulled out pole from the #8 after one of Buemi's laps was deleted. Not record setting pace from the Toyotas this round and the private teams (Rebellion) were under a second back on average.

I guess it was just the WEC stream for qualifying? I'm paid up, so was able to watch it, but amazed there was nothing free to view.

The BR1's looked horrible in qualifying...

It was also streamed on Motorsport TV for those who subscribe to that service, and of course there was an audio version on RS3 from Radio Le Mans, which was free.

I spoke too soon. Now they'll start from the back like at Spa. I'll give them 5 laps before they are at the back of the lmp field, if that.

They don't start a lap down though I don't think.

Correct, although I'm not sure where exactly they will start on the grid. DSC understood that they would be placed at the back of the LMP1 field, but the implication from the article on the WEC website is that they will start at the very back of the grid.

I thought they would start at the back of the prototype field meaning behind the P2s. Afaik that has happened in the past

If a driver isn't paying attention and doesn't brake for the speed limit in time they get penalised. Doesn't matter if they press the button or not. The pit lane limiter won't brake the car.

The race will be entirely on FS3 so I could watch it.

Sad error from Lopez to lose pole position.

SMP and Rebellion looks very close each other and It could be a good battle there, the same between ByKolles and DragonSpeed.

Geoblocked in US (you might be able to take the trial in US too, but the race feed won't be visible and will be geoblocked, I confirmed that by logging in with a VPN).

The stream uses the WEC feed, same comms and continuous feed.

The article says that Lopez was 8.7 km/h over the limit. He was the first man in the car. So the offense was either at the start of quali or on his in-lap to hand over to Kobayashi. The limiter would be engaged from a standstill so it is unlikely to have been at the start of quali. And since Kobayashi didn't have any problems either leaving or entering the pits, that surely makes it most likely that Lopez was at fault when he entered the pits to switch drivers.

Menezes bins the #3 Rebellion behind the safety car... Button leads in the #11 SMP. And #17 SMP lost a wheel and 7 laps.

You can always sign up to the online system and pay for a system that doesn't work. That's always a fun way of doing it.

Anyway - not a great race. Turns out adding a tiny bit of weight didn't make a difference - shock and horror. Clashing with Petit is stupid for many reasons, but the biggest takeaway is that Petit is consistently awesome, whilst Fuji is consistently a bit meh. So WEC comes out looking terrible every time.

Onto Shanghai. Let's added a couple of grams to the Toyotas this time and pretend it'll negate the entire hybrid advantage.
