harperdc posted:well, I'd be more worried if they didn't just win the GTE class pit-stop challenge this week with that floor jack and beefy crew of former college American football players Yeah, the car's lap speed isn't really impressive, it'll go as fast as the ACO lets it go while the GTEs are of course heavily restricted and hosed about with, as are the LMP2s. But that pit stop is all them. Dudley fucked around with this message at 13:22 on Jun 8, 2023 |

I mean they're even doing driver changes through the window like a regular NASCAR, it's fun, it sounds amazing, it's quick down the straights and might just last the whole race. Can't hate it.

Motortrend+ will have the WEC Official feed it seems. That's the best bet for Americans. It'll also be on TV on MotorTrend but it'll most likely have commercials.

If you're wanting something to listen to while waiting for the hyperpole, after this free practice is done, here's a piece from RLM on BOP.

All this might help people who're tuning in during the hyperpole or the race, so let's mention the whole spiel. For the best commentary, check out the Radio Le Mans Studio Vision - it's a YouTube stream with a clock, so you can sync it up with the live stream (whether you get it on TV, your PC, an app, or something else). It's available at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa6pF3EwQW-Sj-46DOXWydw/streams For the best live timing, check out Timing17 - it's an extension for Chromium-based browsers (no Firefox, which sucks) that adds a launch button on the FIAWEC live tracking, which opens a separate window that looks like the live timing available at Circuit de la Sarthe. It's available at: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/timing71/pjdcehojcogjpilmeliklfddboeoogpd For access to the information made available for press and the teams, the timing results et al are published by ACO/FIA - it's a collection of all the various technical details about the race: http://fiawec.alkamelsystems.com/ For being able to spot the various cars easier, check out the spotters guide. It's available at: https://spotters.guide/resources/2023_Le_Mans_SG_v1.1.pdf For a live map with car positions, check out https://live.griiip.com/session/149/map?columns=Last%20Lap,Best%20Lap,Interval,Gap,Sectors,Laps

gently caress me raw. It might be a bit of rant but I’m angry. Proper Angry. The Trenitalia train was so late, we got in the Lyon station and the other one I was expected was already at the next station with no replacements, meaning I had to pay for a ticket to Paris and then lemans. So I wasted two good hours to get here, I walked to the apartment, deep in the Arab ghetto, and the buzzer didn’t rang. At all. I phoned the number that was in booking.com and I get someone that could speak only French or Spanish and didn’t opened up. A passing kid had a spark of pity and opened up, I found a group of pensioners chatting, I try to plead my case and after a bit of telephone game I get to the apartment which I would feel bad selling for two hundred per night let alone four hundred. I’m here, I’m deadly tired and if it proper rains tomorrow I might start wrecking poo poo.

Imola should be fun and Interlagos was a good sportscar circuit before as well, so hopefully the check clears  losing Sebring for the WEC is a bit of a shame, but it's also nice to make it a place where possibly a couple extra teams might sneak over for the 12 Hour instead. We'll see. Big news dump day before Le Mans, the schedule is part of it but here's even more:
I'll keep an eye out for any other news coming through, and try to get some links for watching Le Mans up before the race as well. harperdc fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Jun 9, 2023 |

Shame no Sebring, and I'm sad no Monza/Silverstone but what can you do. I'm sure if sportscars keep going up in a positive direction we'll get some more classic races back until the next bust period. edit: I'm not sure how I feel about LMP/GT3am because I love Professional GT3 racing, but i'm sure it'll work out. algebra testes fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Jun 9, 2023 |

It may still require a lower-ranked driver but the LM GT3 class is going to absolutely be stacked with killers. Look at the brands we'll have in Hypercar that have an available GT3 platform (or will soon in the top case):
Now look who I'm guessing would run that for each brand:
And add in the following...
It seems likely we'll get GT3 cars by the pairs, which means those will be factory-supported and setup to kill. There's a lot of quality there, even if they stuff a CEO or sneaky silver junior driver in.

Current live status: It’s lightly raining, stuff you would barely notice if not for electronics getting fried. Sky is cloudy, thunders and lightning have stopped being frightening a bit ago.

Bit late to Dreamcast chat, but the Retro Fanzone at the circuit has what I’d guess is the game the commentators were talking about setup in their little games area.
