Doug Feehan said, in what could be considered a very measured and diplomatic response, that he thought "there was a lack of talent involved", or something to that effect. Mind you, he's the Corvette boss, so it's probably not completely biased, but I'm just an amateur so what do I know.

The mechanics did a good days work, that's for sure.

EDIT: Apparently Christina Nielsen is busy in an American league this year, that's why she isn't driving with Michelle Gatting. Would be fantastic to have those two on a team together!

Patrick Dempsey is "in a tough position and has to be respectful to a customer". Yes, I'm sure he is. He also said that he'd "be annoyed if he was in Marcel Fässlers shoes".
In non-diplomatic language, he sounds like he knows the driver of #88 was at fault for not holding his line through the Porsche curves.

EDIT: In better news, Rahel Frey has gotten #83 up to P10 in GTE Am, fighting over P9.

Christina and Katherine Legge were refused an entry to Le Mans because the French said “no we’ve got one car that’s already all women, don’t need another.” It’s hosed up IMO.

I don't have any problem imagining ACO being lovely about this (it fact, it seems probable even without these allegations), but I don't see how Christina Nielsen could've been signed up for the current championship she's in and which she's been in since at least January if I recall what the Danish commentators said, and compete in Le Mans too.

EDIT: Also, Kessel Racing won 2018 Le Mans Cup, which gives them an automatic entry, regardless of who else qualifies for inclusion when the field gets expanded (like it did this year).

What other series is she in? I know IMSA but I can't think of any other. She wanted to be at Le Mans, but when the car got denied I think she said gently caress it.

I enjoy that when its late night there the commentators start saying whatever. Talking about pizza the race director ordering pizza? Check. Asking for another commentator booth for beer? Check.

I'm not an expert on American series, but IMSA sounded busy as gently caress when it was described, so I sort of figured that she was busy since she's won it two other years - then again, I just learned that she won the same years that she competed in Le Mans, so it shows how much I know.
Still, it's super lovely of ACO. Keep the old dudes out and add more professional drivers, especially women, in!

IMSA takes the week off just for this, and the race before le mans is a sprint just so they can make it to France for testing if they need to. The ACO is entirely to blame.

Also this announcing is hilarious.

Water is also wet, and other equally surprising things.

I wish I could stay up for this as I love the whole-night of Le Mans the most, but I don't think I'll be able to; ever since chemo and radiation, my energy levels simply aren't big enough to last through the night (or most of the day, for that matter). :(

If it makes you feel any better, I dont even have that excuse and I wont make it. I mowed the lawn, went to a pride event, and now can barely stay awake for dinner much less the night. Hope you start feeling better soon, that shits rough to get past.

He had to have lost a tire or something. I refuse to believe anyone who could make this would just gently caress up that bad on an entry.

Then again, the #88 driver quit cause hes a bitch

Shunted the Corvette, depending on your point of view, and apparently the pay driver just gave the gently caress up and quit.
