Le Mans - World Endurance Championship [ WEC ]

Interesting that the Toyotas are already having regen issues. Doesn't bode well.

Trying to make Discovery TV and Radio Le Mans commentary synchronize is proving tricky. I'm guessing the TV has a delay and Radio LeMans doesn't. Nearly there...

No he got it squirelly on the wet bit on Mulsanne.

I’m surprised nobody at the front suffered at the Dunlop chicane though, the replay showed them all bouncing off each other in the cloud of tyre smoke!

Ooops. You can't win the race on the first lap, but you can lose it...

This safety car process is a bit weird. Safety car periods are going to take forever.

Nightmare starting on a partially wet track.

Hoping to get some more audio of the awesome Cadillac bump start later in the race

Ooow, massive wreck. Number 14 P2 car. Where is that, just after the pit entry?

Good to see a bit more competition this year in Hypercar... Toyota have run away with it since Audi gave up the ghost... I’ve got a feeling it might be a Porsche Penske for the win

I'm assuming the Porsche 963s have titanium wheel nuts. Not sure I've ever seen sparks from a wheel gun before.

Wouldn’t be surprised, hard wearing and light

Well, it certainly hasn't been a dull race so far. All kinds of craziness.

Not sure what source the perfectly legitimate YouTube stream I’m watching is but the commentary is really annoying of just talking over each other a lot. Might swap back to the Spanish language stream even though I don’t understand a word.

The spoilerless Peugeot’s look very cool.

Rain always makes things interesting

Catching up. Cor, that was a rough old entry to the pits by the Jota Porsche after the smash 😲

Gunning for Will Stevens and Jota as well as he was born not far from where I live

Fuck me, it's all kicking off. I'm not convinced that Peugeot won't win this. And that is a shocker.

Dude in the Jota wanted some KS Mod action.

Meanwhile...

Ferraris to lose no?

7 hours to go. It’s all theirs to lose!

Connection on the WEC app is dreadful this morning.

Had hoped Toyota could bring it back but not to be. Shame about the late spin. Got exciting when the Ferrari had issue starting after their final refuel though.

Le Mans time. Anyone using the FIA WEC app this year? Seems to be called 24H LE MANS TV this year. Trying to buy access to the race for tomorrow. App is dreadful, as usual, scroll down the home page and the subscribe bit should be where you pay, but it’s saying I’ve already paid. Sigh. Feels a bit like I’m going to miss the beginning of the race and default to Eurosport and put up with the adverts. Please tell me it’s not true.

Was hoping Discovery+ might have coverage. Any idea?

I haven’t had a chance to look into it unfortunately.

WEC app has updated itself and I’ve now been able to pay for race access. I can now watch the quali and hyperpole coverage etc but can’t cast it. Doesn’t seem to be able to see my Chromecast. Sigh.

Glad you at least got pictures!

It does. I just checked on your behalf.

And I appreciate that!
