Goodness gracious Toyota!

:eek:

MagicBoy · 18 Jun 2017 at 00:16

I'm pretty sure that's on fire!

The hybrid cars are having a nightmare, it's going to be a miracle if one of them finishes at this rate.

Cleisthenes · 18 Jun 2017 at 00:18

Never seen such carnage across all the LMP1 cars.

LMP2 winner?

Could happen.

Vertigo · 18 Jun 2017 at 00:21

Good job I didn't actually go to sleep!

Audi, please come back and teach the others how to make reliable cars

mmj_uk · 18 Jun 2017 at 00:23

The last remaining hybrid might as well just cruise around at LMP2 speeds to be safe. I wouldn't put money on it going another 13 hours.

Cleisthenes · 18 Jun 2017 at 00:23

I was really hoping that Toyota would come through this year. They clearly had the performance it's just such a shame about the issues they seem to consistently have.

Tyre blowout aside he seems to have the exact same power issue Kobayashi did.

GravyMonster · 18 Jun 2017 at 00:32

An LMP1 will lap an LMP2 roughly once an hour, so even with repairs it's likely an LMP1 will still win... assuming they keep running

Flibster · 18 Jun 2017 at 00:49

1st - No9 Porsche -> 8 laps -> 2nd No31 Oreca Gibson

:eek:

Am I right in remembering the commentator saying that Kobayashi also had a left rear warning light in his car? they've not shown if there was any contact with the no.9 car and the car on the left but perhaps it could have been something in the left rear of the car blowing and taking the tyre with it?

Glaucus · 18 Jun 2017 at 01:08

back up and running, and haha only 3 lmp1 cars and only the leader doing any good.

There was something in the left-rear of the car - the #25 Manor apparently.

Well, having drifted off before midnight, I was in for a bit of a shock this morning. Really thought it would be Toyota's year.

Big questions now, will the #1 Porsche last, and will the #2 reach 2nd overall? That would be fairly embarrassing for Toyota.

GravyMonster · 18 Jun 2017 at 09:49

Anyone know what happened to the #95 Aston? It was on the podium at 1am and is now a lap or two down.

Entai · 18 Jun 2017 at 10:11

Nooooooooooooooo

Porsche leader in major problems

Entai · 18 Jun 2017 at 10:12

Who had any money on LMP2 podium lockout?

Vertigo · 18 Jun 2017 at 10:13

Woah! Not long got up - I'm obviously jinxing this race.
