FIA WEC 2017 Championship

What the hell does Toyota have to do to have an event free race?

Possible drive through for No 7, No 8 having an front axle motor replaced and No 9 a lap down and not overly quick.

Oh, and if anyone has been having issues with the FIA WEC app or web stream, they've apparently been under cyberattack and they're trying to stabalise the system.

What total bumholes!

I'm just watching on Eurosport - at least they've finally managed to stick to one channel this time!

Damn it for some reason my laptop is refusing to tether to phone

Haha - comment of the night: "An annoying propensity for the hybrid cars not to hybrid very much"

Diddums · 17 Jun 2017 at 23:06

Not watching atm, is Toyota out again?

Not yet but they're working on it

Safety car.... That'll close the No1 Porsche right up to the back of the No7 Porsche...

[edit]

Oooh, maybe that the Porsche caught the second safety car.

Giving Toyota a little break...

I'm amazed the 95 Aston is back in the running. Impressive after their early puncture. Also means my £5 bet on them is still open

Ah that's a shame, I seriously hope they manage to get on top of it again!

Flibster · 17 Jun 2017 at 23:37

I think the No8 is out of it. They don't seem to be working overly hard on it.

Vertigo · 17 Jun 2017 at 23:40

Right I'm going to have to surrender to bed, only slept 2 hours out of the last 36

Flibster · 17 Jun 2017 at 23:45

Aaand now the No7 Toyota is going slow.

No1 Porsche takes the lead.

Vertigo · 17 Jun 2017 at 23:47

OMG I so jinxed that by saying I was going to bed!

Will the No7 get back? As they've just said, if it's on electric power only it may not have enough juice.

GravyMonster · 17 Jun 2017 at 23:54

Looks like he was stopping on exit of the second chicane. Toyota have no luck here at all

Flibster · 18 Jun 2017 at 00:01

Looks like we're going to have a LMP2 car on the overall race podium. :eek:

MagicBoy · 18 Jun 2017 at 00:03

Are any of the Hybrid cars likely to win? At this rate an LMP2 win is looking quite likely...

Flibster · 18 Jun 2017 at 00:08

No7 Toyota is out.

He's walked away from the car.

Flibster · 18 Jun 2017 at 00:14

And now a the No9 Toyota has a rear puncture and he's tearing the bodywork apart by driving too fast.

I said it earlier, but what the hell do Toyota have to do to win it?

[Edit]

Looks like a rapid failure and it sent him into the gravel.. and he's trashed the hydraulics as he can't change gear.

[edit]

Holy hell! No9 Toyota is on fire!

Less than an hour ago Toyota were running 1st, 2nd and 4th.

Cleisthenes · 18 Jun 2017 at 00:15

Shame about No7, it's all going on this last half hour!
