Wec / Le Mans 2015

Yeh, read about the Yanks and their passion fingers

How the hell this thing is going to work with the fuel regs will be interesting

"These are early testing days, the rear driveshafts haven't been hooked up, so the whole system - internal combustion and flywheel - is driving the fronts alone. That's right, if they let the GT-R LM sing, it's a 1250bhp front-driver. And it might stay that way."

Gives brilliant perspective on how farking farking farking ugly the new car is

[Roy]

So Nissan are out of Silversone and Spa. Young Evans jumping into LMP2 team that shoudl be a competitive ride.

Will hopefully get the talked about grids this year at Silverstone.

[Roy]

So Nissans Mardenborough just about had the worst experience anyone could ever dream. Poor kid was due to race at le Mans with but after a big crash at the Ring yesterday at Flugplatz his car jumped the fence and killed a spectator

[Roy]

Porsche 1-2...giggity giggity! Come on Mark and Brendan; good work putting it on pole!

[niZmO_Man]

Mark was out with gearbox issues.

1-Audi, 2-Porsche, 3-Toyota.

Keep for Nissan to get in there and see how they go. They did well with the delta wing.

[NISMO]

And the racing was pretty awesome across the whole 6 hours. Take note Bernie, this is how you set up interesting racing!

Love the fact that you can approach the same category with such different cars.

[Roy]

Yeh, was a cracking race! Watching the ELMS race now. They have grid girls

[TurboWood]

Good result for Porsche again.

[Roy]

Should have been better. Audi such a well oiled race team!!!

[Ants]

I will just leave this here

[JAS-25T]

The significant issue with WEC drawing TV crowds is the length of races. Only die hard fans can sit in front of TV for 6hrs minimum.

otherwise great racing, tech etc.

It's like comparing a cricket in T20 form VS Test Match.

[Ants]

I think that F1 needs to take on board what WEC offers. More power, slightly longer races, allow for more technology blahblah

[JAS-25T]

Why?

longer races wont fly. 2hrs is about the max most human beings can sit still without needing to stop their lives.

just wait till you become a parent - sitting still for two hours will be a luxury you wished you could have

[JAS-25T]

bruh.

I love 10pm race starts, it's the only ones I can watch in peace.
