7 laps left, toyota might not have enough fuel to finish the race apparently...

Surely it would make sense to not fight as hard, let Estre pass, and try and stay within 5 sec? Rather than force themselves into the need to splash and dash?

I think they are going to be fine.

*Edit*
Very good race that! I genuinely couldnt call that for about 80% of the race. Ferrari's threw that away! Seems terrible strategy/pit calls isnt the sole domain of the F1 team :cry:

Watched the drip feed of videos via Youtube so have seen a very mixed version of events and highlights. Did look like a good race - will ear mark that as probably quite a good event to see at Imola without F1 prices.
 
I think from a WEC POV, the only race anyone cares about is Le Mans, which I'm down for, had a wonderful drive from Imola to Monaco now though for the FE, that was a crap 5 hours drive in horrendous rain, add to that the Italians don't seem to understand what the white lines on the roads are for...

I think to some extent it suffered a little like the F1 does at Imola; there's not a great deal of overtaking places
 
Yeah, guys are out there now, I'm not doing this one as got adult parent things to do..
 
shame for it to end this way but it was a hell of an incident and guess it did a lot of barrier damage.

nvm, guess we are getting the "8 hours" of Spa now.

I switched off during the first prolonged safety car period, tuned back in later and it was red flagged. Glad I didnt set aside my afternoon for it. Just watched the replay of the Earl Bamber crash... Holy ****!!! Bit impatient there, looked like he miscalculated space and closing speed. That poor Beemer though... Good old fashioned mixed class antics!
 
People counting Le Mans as an actual WEC race, or a separate event?

Anyone actually going?

We drove over on Sunday, currently staying in town but will be moving out to the house we usually stay in on the 10th.
We'll be sat up in one of the carpark behind the paddock, 47.952831502289705, 0.21030707754560182
 
Jealous of those who are there this year with the quality throughout the field. Shame we didn't have the mass numbers of GT3 entries last year at the centenary, should make for an excellent 24 hours based off all of the races with the category so far.

Nice to see they've added more weight and given less power to the Toyota after the Spa performance...
 
Weather looks ok for Saturday, but not great for Sunday. Hopefully no red flags if the rain comes down overnight. Don't want another '7.5 hours of Nurburgring' situation again.
 
Soo many people just getting in the way, bloody fan tours of the paddock lol...

Thought it was Friday as well when I got in this morning, its not...
 
Bought a month of Discovery plus to watch this. Only £6.99 but it better be worth it, already getting frustrated with the ads... 9 minutes to Hyperpole start!
