Le Mans - World Endurance Championship [ WEC ]

Incredible stuff, who goes that hard in the first couple of corners of a wet 24h race?!

Missed the first few laps but plenty of replays luckily. Pandemonium in the wet!

Aye not a Toyota 1 / 2

Alpine in with a shout, reckon they have the legs for it?

Don’t know tbh. Lap times for the top P2 cars are fast enough that Hypercar are taking a long to catch back up after an incident etc. Won’t surprise me if we see a P2 on the overall podium in this race. I’m calling it that Glickenhaus might have already lost this race too, on one too many spins in the first hour!

Shame to see Antony Davidson lose it into the gravel, guessing that corner is a little damp and squirrelly.
Jota were having a good early race.

Very lucky not to hit that Porsche sideways at 180mph there.....

Ooof, that crash in that Aston.....
Glad to see him walking, if looking (understandably) very wobbly....

Went up for a kebab and missed whatever caused the safety car.

Alan McNish clearly a bit tired and is bossing around the other commentators and telling them off!

"control, alt, delete" comments are getting old

Certainly feels like I’ve been up all night drinking beer and watching Le Mans. Reality: drank 2 beers and fell asleep at about 10:45pm.

Glad to see Glickenhaus still running (competitively) after 20+ hours

Edit: have I just cursed them?!

TBF the kebab would have given me a night of insomnia. 😎

Quite like the aero-less rear of the 91 Porsche after that jaunt through the gravel.

Noooo. Are you kidding me?!

Flagman must have filled his boxers

Anyone watching Le Mans? What happened to the Corvettes?

The leading corvette had
a puncture/suspension failure near the beginning of the lap - had to nurse it round pretty much a whole lap.

Both corvettes out

First Corvette exit seems to have been self-inflicted. Second definitely wasn't - got put into the wall by an LMP2 car on the Mulsanne. Go left or go right - never stay on the crown of the road.

Anyone watching in 2023?

WEC app is glitchy as **** this year and my phone feels like it’s about to catch fire.

Yeah, watching with my eldest on Eurosport Amazon prime channel.

Loving the new hybrids. Porsche striped livery is awesome

Yep. Watching the first hour at least on Discovery. The Chevy NASCAR looks so incongruous. I rather like it.

Yeah it looks (and is) massive in comparison. I love the idea of these weird entries, like the old nissan delta wing thing

Yeah, I like it. Adds a bit of random interest. Was the 311 Cadillac punted off the track or did it spear the barriers all by itself? It looked like contact on the in-board footage, but it wasn't clear.
