Guess there's nowhere to watch for free e.g course stream like the nurburgring 24?
Watching onboard with #50 ferrari (youtube)....what's the course yellows for?

I feel like the Eurosport coverage is borderline NASCAR in terms of how many ad break there are. I know it makes sense to put them on during safety cars etc but still... feels like its non stop.

Americans and their Poo Joe's

Huh... Kvyat destroyed another car.

 

[Flibster]

Just about 10 hours since the flag dropped and we've spent just over 3 hours of it under the safety car.

 

[Flibster]

Under 40 seconds covering the top 3 with 12 hours to go.

I'm going to get some sleep...

Connection on the WEC app is dreadful this morning.

Hertz Porsche decided to destroy the front this time in sympathy for the entire rear they destroyed last night…

Are Cadillac truly #2 and #3 or is it due to pit stops?

 

[Flaevius]

Trouble in the pits for the no.51 Ferrari, lost a minute lead.

No.8 Toyota sneaks out ahead, 6secs gap.

 

[mjt]

Looks like they've got the lead back.. for now

I’m here this year after taking a break for 8 years. It’s absolutely heaving, a lot of French as you’d expect. Racing has been great but the safety car set up is frustrating.

I was hoping for a Peugeot win but might have settle for Ferrari!

How has the 50 Ferrari dropped back so far? When I went to bed, they were basically together.

I think that one had a water leak they had to hunt overnight.

Autosport say:

01:26 The #50 Ferrari problem was caused by stone damage to the ERS radiator. Nearly half an hour lost.

 

[Flibster]

Currently only 23 seconds covering the top 3.

Or not... Turns out the live timing is lying...

 

[Flibster]

Officially only 7 retirements so far. 1 Hypercar, 3 LMP2, 3 GTE Am.

14 other cars listed as stopped. 2 Hypercars, 3 LMP2, 9 GTE Am

 

[Flibster]

Not a lot of activity going on around the NASCAR in the garage...

It seems to have cars entirely disappearing too, presumably when they pit.

Do you know which hypercars? Sorry for being lazy, just following through this thread / the FIA site as don't have Eurosport.
