Or just mute that and listen to the commentary by Radio Le Mans. I'm doing that with the Eurosport feed at the moment, because the Eurosport commentary/studio segments are UTTER PISH.

dollywobbler Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 GT Pro is proving much more exciting than the LMP cars. Proof that outright speed is not everything. Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Well, a third is achieved. There was quite some drama so far.What a pity about the Aston, so undeserved. What amazes me most so far is how the Team Corvette is fighting.Aren't they just? That race isn't over yet, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 It's great stuff. Amazingly few retirements, and not that many smashes - though a few more now the dark and tiredness are starting to kick in. I'm going to have to wimp out by 11pm I think.

Junkman Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 The racing itself is as fierce as ever.This night will be a thriller, that's for sure. Some tough luck for SMP, innitt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Neither of their cars having a good go of it. At least the #11 is still running.Looked like the #17 would be back in the pits in pretty short order, but must have been a bigger problem than first thought. Which is a shame, since SMP vs Rebellion was my last hope of any thrill in LMP1.I mean, those Toyotas are going to FTP anyway, won't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'coli Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I've watched more of this than I have of F1 this year, it's bloody fantastic. However, to quote my Facebook thing earlier today... "Remember guys the race is 24 hours long so don't get over excited and crash on the first lap..." Not even 15 seconds in and this happens - I think someone will be getting their jotters!

Mrs6C Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Le Mans is like noisy cricket; it goes on in the background even when you aren't watching and you can dip in and out as you like, throughout the 24 hours, on the radio... spike60 and HMC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Remember what happened to Toyota on the last lap last year..... Year before I think. I certainly didn't hear a fat lady sing until that car was well over the finish line. I enjoyed the race, but not for the Toyotas racing against themselves and no-one else.
