The WEC site is made by French people, you can't expect it to just work. Try pasting this in the browser console (press F12):

code:
document.querySelector('.live-middle-screen iframe').setAttribute('allowfullscreen', '')
That fixed the fullscreen button for me, although I had to click it twice the first time :shrug:

Position in class for the top 3 in each. 1 light is 1st, 2 is second, 3 is third.

I prefer the IMSA/indycar/blancpain leader lights that have actual numbers but that's​ ACO for you.

With 60 cars this year it'll probably be yellows all night, but if not they could conceivably break 400 laps before breaking down on the penultimate lap handing the win over to Porsche.

Rooting against Toyota after last year is only for the heartless. They also have three cars versus two from Porsche, so. More bullets in the gun, as some like to say.

I went and checked, yep. 25.3 vs 25.7.

Which of course also means that ByKolles would have been on a 2011 pole....

2020 P1 regs are out. "Plug in hybrid" system that makes teams run 1km on battery power after each stop, mild cost savings, and bigger cockpits. Pretty big wet fart, might explain why there have been all the rumors about Porsche and Toyota pulling out.

The new LMP1 regs are a double edged sword: 1. for the consumer, it's great when that trickles down, 2. the makers may not like them and pull out.

I like them, but yeah... I hope Toyota and Porsche stick around.
