Credit where credit is due, Dempsey hosed off to a supporting role instead of failing at driving around the track like Fassbender.

Doesn’t let up, doesn’t it? Sucks for Toyota, but looks like the Ferrari garage crowd is more concerned.

Ferrari deserves the memes but if they pull off a giant killing hypercar program in under a year and after fifty years of not competing this might be sealed as the greatest le mans in recent history

Finished second because Hirakawa spun it off and booped the barrier. Lost the #7 because of slow zone fuckery. They didn’t not show up at all, that’s not the case.

All of the Hypercars showed up, we’re in for quite a few good years here. Unreal.

Thoughts on the TV coverage as a first time watcher…

Night shots where half the screen is white glare from the headlights is silly.
They should rotate the timing tower more instead of leaving it on hypercars for minutes at a time.
Cutting to slow motion shots of cars going over the curbs got pretty old. And was there background music to this?
MotorSport+ was worth paying $5 for. Good quality, no ads.

yeah i know, just talkin poo poo

it rules that cadillac, porsche, toyota, ferrari and peugeot all looked very capable of winning. and we get even more hypercar manufacturers next year. this gonna be a new golden age.

i really hope i am able to go to le mans next year.

ps i am very sad dames did not at least get podium but at least they did not have total poo poo luck for once

Agreed the timing tower was pretty much useless all race long. It’ll never have Singapore F1 levels of light available.

I think Circuit de la Sarthe has the same problem as Nurburgring - there’s just no way the keep that much of track lighted all night long. The Nurburgring broadcast focused on cockpit shots at night, which helped.

Yeah and they might regret both of those because it's not going to become any easier. The Caddy is close, Penske will fix that Porsche and Lambo and Alpine are coming.

EDIT : Oh gently caress and BMW.

And Andretti really really wants to bring Acura/Honda over as well. It’s going to be an absolute battle royale the next few years.

binned it in a chicane

they absolutely had winning pace, which given how this week went was surprising, and awesome

Other than multiple Porsches virtually anything that hampered a hypercar was their driver binning it.

The Daytona chicane was claiming cars left and right.

I would have loved to see the NASCAR beat all the GTEs but hey, they ran a clean race apart from the gearbox going. I didn't want to say quiet because what would be a lie :v:

I missed the end but poo poo that was fun
