Le Mans 24 hour - 2023

[.:MBK:.]

which looks like rain now coming in as well

 

[kaiowas]

Proton Porsches appear to have the race car magnets activated

 

[Flibster]

RAIN!

 

[Feek]

Haven’t seen this many incidents so early, what on earth is going on here.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Only 1 full wet tyre type seems a bit of a recipe for disaster on a big circuit like this where parts of it could be wet and the rest dry!

 

[Flibster]

So that was the 22 United Autosports LMP2 and the 77 Dempsey Proton GTE Am that collided.

Disappointed that the Dempsey was involved. I like the team.

What happened to the legendary Slickermediates?

 

[Flibster]

That's proper wet.

Just said Inters were scrapped in the name of sustainability......

Just said Inters were scrapped in the name of sustainability......

I can understand that in a way. But for the Le Mans?! Where it historically uses the intermediates?! Lol

 

[.:MBK:.]

ice rink one side, bone dry the other...why not allow inters for le mans the fools

 

[Flibster]

And the 709 Glickenhaus looks to have bounced off the wall in the rain.
3 Caddy spins but avoids hitting anything
86 Porsche bounces gently off the wall.

CHAOS!

 

[Finners]

Chaos!

 

[Flibster]

Oh... a LMP2 and a GTE Am dropped it at the same time as the Glick... they've shot off down the escape road.

 

[scarps]

Why are they trying to take the corner so fast, that red car went in like it was the last corner of the race and was going for a win

 

[Finners]

Yeah the Ferrari i think they said it was was hurtling!

Edit* shame the cameras seem so few and far between, don't tend to have multiple views of the same incident

This is the wild thing. You could be forgiven for thinking you’re watching two separate races they look so different condition wise.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Yeah I can understand not having them for all the 4/6 hour rounds in Bahrain etc but not having them for a 24 hour race where the cars are there for like 2 weeks?! Bonkers really.

 

[Flibster]

No3 Caddy has stopped for a change of undies.

 

[KiNgPiN83]

No3 Caddy has stopped for a change of undies.

And that red GT that went flying off down the main road.
