Le Mans 2016 WEC

Davidson had a storming stint in the early hours to pull #5 back into contention. They ended up behind the same safety car group, then Buemi passed Conway on the restart and has pulled away at ~1s/lap.

The Porsche is definitely still in contention, but it's going back and forth with the pitstops. They're changing the tyres more often, which is costing a lot of time.

Thanks Galahad .

Current average stint laptimes:

Buemi (Toyota #5) 3:24.2
Conway (Toyota #6) 3:25.7
Lieb (Porsche #2) 3:24.0
Duval (Audi #8) 3:25.4

It's a sprint race right now...

 

[Incubus]

There's been no sign of either Toyota missing a single beat so far as there?...

 

[Galahad]

Haha, talk about tempting fate...

The #5 had a nose change behind the Safety Car, but I think there was damage from a tap or maybe kerbs, can't quite remember. No hint of anything mechanical as yet. More than five hours to go though!

Anyone else on here, hello what happened?....

I was going to say same just got up after be up til 1:30

 

[Galahad]

Lightweights!

It's a sprint race right now...

Even more so now. These guys are taking no prisoners in traffic, wouldn't be surprised if someone gets a scrape.

 

[Incubus]

Still no idea who's got the advantage in hat Ferrari/Ford battle.

 

[Galahad]

When Joey Hand has to give the car up to his team mates, it'll be Ferrari, I reckon.

 

[Galahad]

What have I said???

 

[Incubus]

I'll just keep schtum from now on. Every time I post about someone I instantly seem to curse them?!...

 

[Galahad]

Strike one Toyota...

 

[Incubus]

Red Alert for Toyota. Two till the end from now on.

 

[Galahad]

Looks like everything for Toyota is going to be resting on Nakajima. Pressure?

 

[Incubus]

Well he's doing a pretty decent job of it so far.

Been dipping in an out of Le Mans as I usually do. Was very impressed with Buemi's stint earlier on but no one has done a Nick Tandy standout stint like last year.

I am rooting for Porsche car number two but I reckon the 5 car probably has it.

I think Anthony Davidson run of bad luck is about to finally end but in the 2 horse race #2 Porsche is closing on the #5 Toyota

 

[Galahad]

I think Anthony Davidson run of bad luck is about to finally end

Not to mention Toyota's 30 years of bad luck. If they get through the final stop cleanly they should be ok.

Ye God's this is going to be a late switch.
