Given that it’s race week I thought it’d be a great time to start a discussion thread for the 24 Hours of Le Mans!
What are your predictions for each class? For LMH I’m hoping Ferrari can pull out a victory but Toyota have been pretty rock-solid this season so far.
Gutted for Jota. Crashing out from P1 is hard to take. This Le Mans has been brutal so far.
Definitely a race for the books.
I love this point of the Le Mans, where you just see giant light halos for the most part.
Rain + nighttime = peak Le Mans conditions imho
Yeah the night driving is always my favorite part of 24hr races. Add in the rain and it gets real spicy.
Like right now!
How did it fly by so fast
Ferrari on pole… Hmmm where have I heard that before?
Yep that pole aged like milk. But hey… 24 hours before us.
Haha that was my first thought as well. Typical Ferrari pole that only lasts half way through the first lap
Feel sorry for Aitken. Bet he’s kicking himself.
Pretty amazing work by the mechanics to get the #311 Cadillac back out, but they sure have a lot of laps to make up to get back into the race (17ish laps behind the leader atm).
It’ll be epic if they finish the race. He managed to do to lap without a wheel and without seeing nearly anything, and then the mechanics did a astounding job repairing all the damage. You can’t not root for them in this race.
these battles are great so far
Yeah some amazing racing these first few hours, so refreshing to see after the lack of competition these past few years
What the hell is happens in this race
Pretty crazy so far :D also pug in the lead!
Not anymore :(
After Ferrari’s performance during yesterday’s hyperpole session, I have renewed hope in them! Granted I’m ready to be hurt again by them 😅
It’s looking promising! Still, I’m hoping for a close fight, it’ll be refreshing to see some action in the top class at le mans for the first time in years
Looking like there’s a chance of rain today as well
so if this holds, Antonio Giovinazzi will have a more successful motorsports career than Charles Leclerc
Fuck that was good. Shame I missed the craziest 2 hours last evening but this was probably the best race we’ll ever get to see.
Really bites to see the number 8 out of the battle after that rear lockup. Just bring it home now, GIO. No pressure, only the worldwide tifosi depending on you.
8 is still on the lead lap so could be right back in it if we see a safety car
Definitely, it ain’t over til it’s over.
Epic race, best le mans I’ve ever seen (tho the bar was fairly low since I didn’t start properly watching till 2018).
Looking forward to monza 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Now it’s a direct battle Toyota vs Ferrari holy shit
Buemi is, quoiting Russell, driving like a madman. But it doesn’t look it’ll be enough to catch the Ferrari #51.
