Jota hyper car looks seriously battered. :eek:

To make that worse, it'll probably be a penalty for the poor pit entry when they eventually get back out.

KiNgPiN83 · 10 Jun 2023 at 19:55

Oof. He’s made a right mess of that.

Flibster · 10 Jun 2023 at 19:55

Oh that looks expensive. So new front and rear bodywork, new rear wing, new splitter, probable floor damage, possible suspension work. Lots of speed tape.

And new pants.

KiNgPiN83 · 10 Jun 2023 at 19:56

At least it was into tyres and near the pits I guess. If that was pure barriers that would’ve been game over.

marshalls will have quite a few souvenirs this year

GravyMonster · 10 Jun 2023 at 20:00

Sounds like Jota will need those parts back, they don't have many spares!

Flibster · 10 Jun 2023 at 20:00

Ferrari pitting together again, just as the full yellow ends.

923 isn’t going anywhere.

nice to see hypercar so competitive here so far. should stand the category in good stead for next season once these new teams have had a chance to bed in and a couple of other new ones join in.

be even better if Pug can get on top of that 9X8 without giving up and slapping wings back on it.

I recall watching a YouTube vid about it and apparently most of its downforce comes from the floor which is why it doesn’t need big rear wings. It’s nice to see teams trying something different and not getting completely dropped but it feels a bit Mercedes and their no sidepods concept…

No5 Porsche going slow now.

Jota Porsche back on track and looking all shiny and new. Surprisingly quickly. Seems like they got lucky.

It’s back out. 4 laps lost and 1st to 14th. Good job by the team really.

Always a bloody caveat with Sky...

Is the sky go app still a thing to watch it from there? Or the web?
