Early Morning Lazy Bake

Total FR domination

>>151851172
The 81 has """long term race pace"" right? RIGHT?!?!?!?

Valkyries slowly crawling up the field

>top 2 Toyotas
>then Peugeots
What are the chances that's not the result in 7 and a half hour ? From what I've read, it seems that the race pace projections from practice is quite coherent with the current positions.

>>151851181
OK, what can we reasonably expect today?
Obviously, a Valkyrie win would be the best case and I'd like a Cadillac win because Cadillac, but also, if every other car explodes, they can win the championship, but that's an even bigger stretch. I'd put a Peugeot win on the same level and I think that's the most realistic of the "good" results. As much as I feel bad for Toyota I really don't want them to win from pole. Also, Porsche and Alpine got fucked.

>>151851200
Toyota very well may do Toyota thing. They got multiple penalties lat time at Fuji.

>>151851211
I'm wishing for a Peugeot, Aston, Ferrari podium.

Cadillac bros....

>>151851211
I think Ferrari has pace to win the race as well

Porsche surge!

>Poojoe
It begins...
Fuck...

>>151851255
Absolutely. I'd even say it is likely.
>Peugeot

>Massive wheels
I did oil and brakes on my car yesterday and taking the wheels off and putting them back on really puts these pit stops in perspective.

>>151851312
They're magnesium alloy or some other bullshit ultralight rim

based gio putting the french in their place

>>151851326
Still, them tire meats is huge. I bet they are like 20 kgs.

>>151851181
Also the #27 Vantage. Up to third now

Always enjoy how hard hypercar guys race each other 1 hour into an 8 hour race

I think an NA V12 Mercedes LMH car would be the most kino thing we could get in WEC.

Aside from Toyota fucking off F1 style, this has been a pretty good race so far.

How the fuck did Duval lost that much time ? I can understand Di Resta, but he's now just behind in spite of losing ~10 seconds with his spin.

>>151851312
And then you have NASCAR with former NFL players working in the pit crews carrying 2 tires like it's nothing.

IT'S DUDU BARRICHELLO TIME

>>151851380
I see your Mercedes V12 and I raise you a 4 rotor turba Mazda LMH. Check mate, liberals.

>>151851411
>Mazda's idea for the future of the rotary engine is a single rotor """range extender"""
I'd kill for Mazda to make a return with a rotary, but the world's too fucked up to make it happen.

Perhaps they over compensated for the Toyota.

Nazi going the lead

>>151851504
>Perhaps they over compensated for the Toyota.
Nah Toyota got screwed over the entire season. It's best to throw them a bone so they stay in WEC.

Lexus ded
GT3 P1 ded!

Any of you fags get tickets for Le Mans next year?

It's Théo's time!
Come on, buddy, don't fuck it up...

>>151851766
Best I can do is Petit le Mans.

>>151851821
Cam on Porkchops!!!

>>151851642
I mean, I get that, but it further calls into question the way WEC manages BoP.
A lot of drivers are setting new personnel bests.

Friendly reminder there will never be another non-hybrid LMH car

Rossi (the good one) in!

My hopium right now is that the Astons will improve during the night.

>>151852549
We need a yellow, but this autocross track probably won't get one.

>>151851766
No but I'm a Spa and Burgerking 24 regular. Might take the plunge to LM24 next year though

Porkchops into the pits?

GIGAKUBICA

I never understood why the GT3 cars in WEC use Goodyear tier.

CadillACK!!!

>>151852607
Ferrari got murdered

>>151853258
It sure did.

>>151853258
Why did the Caddy do it?

>>151853429
It didn't understand that TOTAL FERRARI DEATH should be for the hypercar, not the GT.

>>151853429
Jensen Butthole

>>151853482
It's not like he had an entire Walmart parking lot on the outside of the corner or anything.

I don't think that incident had anything to do with the Ferrari driver being a Bronze driver.

This is almost exactly where Grosjean died right

link to livestream?

>>151853769
Aces or we are checking

just woke up
how much safety car has there been?

>>151854038
1 (One)

>>151854136
oh, nice

>>151854228
LETS GOOOOOO

Camon Aston keep pushing, I want my Half-Life 3 to be released sooner than later

>>151854275
>>151854293
They clearly have speed at the moment. Now we need the Ferrari to start putting pressure on the Toyotas.

im too busy studying, how the fuck is the valk pee twooooo(now uno)

P1

YES ASTON, HL3 CONFIRMED

Wow, he got it done in the slow bits. Nice.

>>151854365
I think they really know how to set the car up for night time.

>>151854473
If this gets reversed for a SC penalty I'm going to spit.

>>151854623
How do you make coffee?

>>151854653

Total Ferrari GT3 death
GM did nothing wrong

>>151854768
Nice.

>>151854850
Fucking hell, this shit again.

this is so fucking queer
>>151854824
picrel

>>151854931
>>151854941
Thankfully Ribeiras opened such a gap that they didn't lose much. Also fuck FIA and it's track jannies for these bullshit penalties

>>151854897
>>151854931
>>151854941
OK, 009 is only down to 5th with a 16 second gap to 1st. That's not insurmountable.

This has been a pretty good race, especially for the track.

If Monaco wasn't tied so tightly to F1 we'd see it shine more
a GT race there has to be a blast

>>151853769
twitch

the valkyries are on another level today

I don't know what's funnier: di Resta with no tires, 4 sec slower per lap, holding everyone up, or Campbell not being able to pass him in the Porsche

>>151855545
I remember this being a pretty dull race the last few years. It's a shame there have been so many penalties, though.

>those empty stands
I hate sandnig Tilkedrome races

>>151855527
How ovari da is it for the kubica wdc ?
It's not looking good, he legit needs the 51to explode, even overtaking it wouldn't be enough

for gigabica to win, they would need to be first while 51 needs to be 5th or lower
To koniec.

>>151856144
I think he needs to win and the 51 to finish 7th or worse.

>>151856188
shit

>>151856254
yeah, gigabica fucked hyperpole too,
doesn't mean much in 8h race but still

>>151855994
are there any data how big is the WEC viewership?

Poojoe making it fun

hope they make more premium hypercars

just red flag this for the rest and ez win

>>151856296
Japan, Huezil, US and Europe is better than that, that's all one needs to know

>>151856450
>US
lol they had empty stands too

road rage incident

thought I was watching imsa for a second

>>151856466
why go to WEC at shitty paved runoff parking lot circuit COTA when you could go to IMSA at a real circuit like Road America?

>>151856562
muh f1 track
i don't like cota, road america would be much better choice

>>151856596
WEC won't go there because they are pussies who need miles of paved runoff and fancy garages

>>151856466
It was raining like crazy...

porschepenskebros... looks like we'll go quiet into that good night...

>>151856649
The Peugeot drivers have been doing some really good defensive driving, but they just don't have to car to resist being passed forever.
Thanks for the webms, btw.

>>151856623

>truth is bait

>>151856709
if that shitter would be some bland unexciting not really fast but reliable driver, he wouldnt bring the team forward but would not hamper them
But no, he is so shit he is a net handicap

>>151856809
> if I repeat a bullshit claim too many times it will become truth
okay I see why your politicians can pull this off on you lol, you actually think it works like this

The Brazilian commentators keep hitting the microphone every 5 seconds and it is really annoying

ROSSI

>>151856970
CHILE

>>151856871
NTA, but it Road America isn't up to WEC standards in terms of safety and garage facilities.

What the absolute fuck happened to Proton?

Did Hypercar Aston still retain their kino V10 engine or what ??

>>151856971
INDONESIA

>>151857048
It's a V12, but it doesn't have the hybrid system from the road car and it doesn't rev as high by something like 6,000 rpm

>>151856988
SAfety is less of a concern I would think, because the WEC does not need F1 levels of runoffs and such due to their speed.
But pit facilities and such are the bigger issue because in a series like wec you will have a lot of sponsors and shit you need to accomodate and do hospitality for and when it's a world championship expectations are waaaay different then if it's a domestic series like imsa where sponsors are usually domestic as well

I really cannot understand why the ACO kept the shittiest BOP for Toyota for the entire season. Just a little break made them competitive with the Ferrari.

>>151857555
Don'tforget
>Please don't leave me, Toyota-chan.

>>151857592
I can only think it was some back room politics. It clearly wasn't related to whatever nebulous formula they allegedly use to determine BoP.

Well, this race started out alright, but somehow we got the boring and predictable ending anyway.

An Aston win in GT3 would help improve the end of this race.
