G'day!
|
Porsche is in first (#19) and second (#17) place right now with Audi taking the number 3 and 4 spots....(#7 and #8).
The #18 Porsche is in 5th battling with the two Audis in 3rd and 4th. When this comes back on TV it's going to be fun to watch. I agree Fox screwed the pooch on this one....

Ugh... FoxSportsGo pulled their streaming live coverage until 9:00... all that's left is #64 'Vette in-car cam. I'll try some of those other links as well as tuning in to Radio Le Mans.
Looks like rain is on the way. Click the > on this link to see the movement of the rain clouds. Le Mans, France Interactive Weather Radar Map - AccuWeather.com You're welcome, Baz... it's fun to be an amateur screencap race photographer.

Wow! Did not expect that class-leading Aston Martin to crash. It's been leading the GT-Pro class for the entire race. But that promotes the Dempsey 911 up to P2 in class!

Talk about a heartbreaker, lead your class for 23 hrs 15 min then punt the car into a wall.

I've been seeing a few raindrops going up the windscreen of the 'Vette when I check that feed... but it's off and on... more on different parts of the track... probably not enough to impact grip... probably blown off the track by passing cars.

Rain announced by race director.
Are the technical specifications for the GT Pro and Am cars the same? It's just the driver status' that separate the two classes?

So when do you think Porsche hands out all those little white Porsche flags to the fans?

Over! Only two years to finish 1-2, not half bad Porsche.

Great race, but Fox coverage sucked! Changing channels twice in the last hour, cutting the post race coverage short, they could have done much better.

Looks like you called it  It was a great race. I am struck by the reliability of these modern cars. It doesn't seem all that long ago that it was common for GT cars to work their way into the top ten because of attrition. LMP2 in particular was a 'last man standing' class, now only two cars managed to eek their way in the top 20. |
