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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    So I noticed that every time I tried to go to sleep, something happened with Toyota. The other Toyota crashed out just as I was falling asleep the first time.

    I took another little nap and I think I heard the Toyota had spun out or went off road just as I was falling asleep. Think it was Hartley driving.

    But it seems like when I wake up, something happens to Toyota. I woke up like 45min ago and then Hirakawa crashed. I’m pretty sure I heard something happened when I woke up the first time, too.

    Sorry Toyota bros. My fault.

    But maybe we’ll get a final SC. 50min…it could still happen!

    This was my first Le Mans experience and I’m absolutely loving it. Looking forward to the next races.
