Endurance Racing 2015+

The Aston and Corvette both definitely looked like they slowed for an (unsignalled?) slow zone, their lights were flashing like they were on pit limiters!

The commentators seem to think that, but I don't think I saw any Code 60 boards out with the double yellows at the time of the crash...? So either the Aston cut out, or there was a miscommunication about the status of the 60.

I was thinking it cut out at first but the corvette seemed to slow sharply (flashing it's lights) beside it aswell.

So there were green flags out, but the slowzone was still in place.

Another Porsche up in flames!

Restart.

5th now. They misjudged the pit strategy, which mean Karun was held at pit exit for over a minute.

I'd say they had guessed on the safety car coming in 30 seconds earlier, if it had, they wouldn't of been held.

Frustrating that the TV director won't show the cause of yellow flags, especially because every inch of the track is covered by cameras.

Thanks for the race department stream. The official ACO stream on daily motion just seems to be packed with ads and interviews and no action?

I keep changing stream depending on when my internet decides to crap itself. /r/WEC has a HD stream if anyone wants a link.

97 Aston Martin stopped on track.

Sounded like engine is misfiring

wtf did the nissan hit in that replay

Not sure, just looked like black shape, commentators didn't seem to notice it on replays

Edit: Looked like a tyre

No idea but it was a fair smack to decimate the front section of bodywork. Good work to get her back to the pits with no lights. To still have 5 cars on the leading lap at midnight (Im living in race time zone so much easier to follow commentary) is incredible going.

That was a hard hit to the 31 car, but lucky had scrubbed off speed before hitting barrier. Similar to the Audi 9 crash earlier amazing to get away with quick repair in pits

Anyone still up?!

Still going, although finding it harder to stay awake while sitting infront of a TV than in the cool la Sarthe air with the cars flying by

This race is worth staying up for so far.

Very disappointed with the Toyota's, any idea what's up there?

I was there last year as well and froze as the night went on. I was just glad I had a small blanket with me and managed to blag my way into a stand after convincing the French security man that I was lost and that my friends in the stand had my mobile phone. It was partly true and the stand was half empty at night anyway!

It's so nice to have full course night coverage

Not to be outdone by Porsche, a Ferrari burst into flames!

Murphy up to 3rd.

On merit this time, aslong as they keep it clean they have a great chance of a podium, and then with a bit of luck......

Murphy still in P3. Holding off the Jota, but they've got Turvey in for his stints. and he's going fairly quick.
