Le Mans - Circuit de la Sarthe 2016 – FIA WEC – Race 3 / 9

I suspect Porsche has pace to spare and will turn it up in the night.

Emlyn_Dewar · 18 Jun 2016 at 20:46

That Ford looks a bit broken... (again)

Vertigo · 18 Jun 2016 at 21:03

I'll be in bed before 12 (I'm actually laying on it now which is probably fatal) and will be up about 7 I reckon. So there's the window for all the action!

Housey · 18 Jun 2016 at 21:07

Ive had it on since the start but week's caught up with me a bit so will be in bed within the hour I suspect.

McGraw · 18 Jun 2016 at 21:09

Normally stay up to 3 but the missus has announced a car boot tomorrow and although I won't have to do anything other than get up and help her set up, I might call it a night not long after it goes properly dark.

I've not watched it unless I've seen some night running.

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...

It has an app, and ChromeCast support? Was using it earlier today and it works well.

Emlyn_Dewar · 18 Jun 2016 at 21:28

What is the app called? I had a half assed search. There was one, but wasn't supported, most likely due to putting this on Developer Preview 4... Oops.

Edit: Got it on the phone.
Such a neater solution!

Yea. I'll probably stay up over night and watch it as that's normally when the action happens and they really wind it up.

Emlyn_Dewar · 18 Jun 2016 at 21:43

That's my concern. I know I'll go to bed, and miss something interesting!

Is this a cool air thing?

Vertigo · 18 Jun 2016 at 22:14

Drama!

Yes and they generally wind it up over night in terms of pace.

Not good for Porsche at the moment.

Emlyn_Dewar · 18 Jun 2016 at 22:16

Oh dear... Wonder how long this'll take for them to sort out?
This is why I don't want to miss overnight, all the reliability drama!

That's what I mean.

You've got pace then you need to try and take advantage but if you haven't then you need to try even harder.

Flaming channel hopping

EDIT: or not, fs Eurosport

Skeeter · 18 Jun 2016 at 22:20

What's the issue with the #1?

RSR · 18 Jun 2016 at 22:21

Non illuminated side numbers, which is a requirement to race.

Is that really all it is though?

Skeeter · 18 Jun 2016 at 22:23

Yeah and the commentator a have said there's loads of cars out there with them off.

Vertigo · 18 Jun 2016 at 22:28

Yeah something else is up with that Porsche
