Is it finding gravel or returning home?

Oh hey Toyota found a way to stretch the #8's lead by having them pit while the slow zone was in effect while having the #7 pit after the slow zone was lifted.

Which to complete the thought, is built by Dallara and rebadged. The actions of a fail team.

Yeah no class leaders in the wall.

I don't think anything tells the relative professionalism of the LMP1 teams than just listing their race positons

1st
2nd
3rd
4th
48th
49th
50th
52nd
And that's ignoring the retired ones.

That was some drat good racing between the ford and porsche, but some real crap driving standards. Bourdais really ripping on them on radio le mans,

Joey Hand took over and that Ford has dropped right down, kind of a shame there.

No Toyota conspiracy needed, it would seem they simply put the best drivers in car number 8.

Not really, Alonso is just 1.5-2 seconds per lap quicker than Lopez from the live timing which is hardly surprising. Plus Lopez had a spin and an off a few laps ago which didn’t help.

It's Toyota and there are/were 3 hours left at that point. Maybe when youve lost the race in the last 3 minutes you dont already start to count your chickens??

I’m not sure what you are talking about tbh, there is half a lap between both cars and Nando isn’t slowing down.

To be slightly more helpful - live timing you don’t have to pay for https://timing.71wytham.org.uk/s/lm24

Toyota go boom :v:

vvv Maybe wait until the last 10 minutes before planning your victory finish in a race your team has a lost because your car expired on the final lap. It just seems premature
from Toyota of all teams

The rear design of that Aston Martin looks as depressing as their race results so far.

Also good on the 5 car for being 5th in class after spending the first like two hours of the race in the pits. Obviously it is just from attrition but at least they fixed it and kept it going.

Just had an interview with the managing director of Silverstone on RLM, highlights include: “came here in 91 and had to put up with that horrible Mazda” and crediting Corvette with bringing Lammers back this year.

Having been to Silverstone this doesn’t really surprise me.
