Yeah I'd quite like to see Toyota win. I usually support Audi but would be good to have a new winner plus the new Audi is ugly as sin.

Emlyn_Dewar · 18 Jun 2016 at 17:47

We're cursing Toyota, with our support.

I like it because its different. Like when the R15 first rocked up with the high nose and shifted where peoples thinking was.

The LMP2 closed cars are the best looking though, they look perfectly proportioed and purposeful.

The LMP1 cars have become massively ugly it must be said.

Housey · 18 Jun 2016 at 17:57

Looks to me that the 911 went off on the water dropped by the other 911 exiting the pits spilling crap.

I can't remember the last good looking top teir Le Mans car? Nothing in the Audi R8 era onwards has been nice.

Actually, maybe the Aston Martin closed car, although that was mainly the livery.

Sun is dropping now, soon the darkness will arrive and drivers will start to get tired.

RSR · 18 Jun 2016 at 19:54

That's normally when the action starts.

Housey · 18 Jun 2016 at 20:04

Yup. Weather seems to have got better, what's forecast?

First hour or so of proper racing was very good. Hoping for some more horribleness to come back to close it up in all the classes. GTE Pro turning out as expected unfortunately. Toyota going well, glad they're fighting properly this year.

Good to hear the commentary giving the cars looks a tough time also.

I like when it gets to this time of day, great TV shots.

Housey · 18 Jun 2016 at 20:15

Weather looks dry mostly, might be the odd shower, but I think the big rain showers are gone.

Is the stream down? It was working earlier for me but nothing now.

Emlyn_Dewar · 18 Jun 2016 at 20:25

Still going here!

Housey · 18 Jun 2016 at 20:28

Working here. The current 2 commentators are crap, the main guy is full of horse ****.

GravyMonster · 18 Jun 2016 at 20:28

UStream link seems to be showing a replay of a earlier race now. I can't find a live stream of the TV feed. All there seems to be is the Audi/Sandbagger feeds with single onboards.

Housey · 18 Jun 2016 at 20:35

The App has worked faultlessly today. App, to AppleTv, to TV

It's seems clear but a cool evening, down to a low of 14c.

RSR · 18 Jun 2016 at 20:38

I'm looking forward to the overnight team on Eurosport as they are normally quiet funny and normally come out which some random comments.

Emlyn_Dewar · 18 Jun 2016 at 20:39

I've just had to whack the laptop in to the TV. An app, and ChromeCast support would have been a bit better!

Anyone thinking of staying up for this?
I can't see me lasting much past 12, and don't want to be a vegetable tomorrow...
