That last lap pitting clusterfuck sounds like it might be epic if it happens that way. There's some rules quirk that means that right now the best strategy is to pit right before the final lap.

The onboards still blow my loving mind. I can't imagine driving that fast in the rain on this track, and then there's the fog, and then there's the traffic, and then there's doing 8-16 25km laps in a row. It's just nuts.

A little anti-climactic at the end. You have to wonder if the Benz would have been better off running flat out and pitting early.

After bouncing the car off the wall they decided to accept second rather than push. Makes sense to me even if it is a little disappointing.

The wanted to finish racing, but had to restart the race on the first chance to get an hour in.
They figured it'd be fine at the finish, but knew it was dicey at the restart.

Make sense?

I think they were going to see if it was possible to skip the pitstop and just get to the end.
It wasn't, they pulled the pin.

The full Le Mans entry list is out: http://assets.lemans.org/explorer/pdf/courses/2018/24-heures-du-mans/entry-list-24-heures-du-mans-2018.pdf

Both Ginettas and all three BR1 cars are confirmed, with the cause of the flip at Spa "known and understood".

Much more concerningly for everyone involved, Tracy Krohn has a ride in an LMP2 Ligier. Given the trouble he had keeping a previous-gen LMP2 out of the gravel I'm sure he will provide even more excitement this time around.

raring to post

Heres the first confirmation i've seen that Pietro's crash was a mechanical, like a bunch of yall here caught.

Pietro posted:

“We had an electrical issue and I lost power steering, went straight into the wall in qualifying,” he explained. “I tried to turn the car but it (steering) was locked up.

“Right before I hit I thought, ‘Oh I’m going pretty fast,’ and I was a little scared.”

The Manor Ginettas are being propped up by swapping Dean Stoneman for the first paydriver they grabbed off the street.

They might struggle to appear after LeMans.
