Is there any point of running qualifying at a race this long?

Line them up by car number and be done with it

>>76546044
Just for bragging rights I reckon and not to be in the shit at the start if there are a few first lap heroes

>it's already le mans time
>I still haven't fixed my life up to the point I can sacrifice a whole week to follow it

>>76546133
you watch most of the race at least?

>>76546216
Last year I managed, with a lot of effort, to watch the last half hour. 2014 and before, it was atleast 18 hours of the race.

It is le mans week again! Get your sandbags (ford), and enjoy the week.

I head the LMP2 class is much faster than before this year. Why is this?

They apparently have the fastest car by a decent margin, which probably means another spetacular failure in the race. Hard to beat last year's though

I haven't watched any previous races. Does Toyota have a chance to win again this year? ..providing emperor Hirohito doesn't strike them down from the heavens again like last year.

>>76548804
toyota will find a way to lose the race

>>76548552
I shilled the seven eurobucks a month for it and it has been working perfectly through Silverstone and Spa, HD and all. The first two races there was no commentary so i used RLM. Now theres some no name Finns commentating and I can't change the language so I will probably use RLM again.

Just picked up a Graham Rahal shake from Steak n Shake.

Its pretty good. Wasn't going to get it but I decided to support a sponsor who was supporting INDY.

>>76548566
Because Porsche didn't want to race a third car?

All of the P1 teams are allowed an extra car for Le Mans, so if a team doesn't bring one it's their decision

no way he is in the car for the start

They literally charge you more for a smaller engine with a turbo and pretend some kind of magic happened to make the car go faster for less gas.

Can I get a quick rundown? What happened?

>>76550971
>some kind of magic happened to make the car go faster for less gas
It's called less friction. If they burn the same amount of fuel with bigger engines, they still generate more or less the same amount of power and that tiny 1.0 has less friction. Reduces losses and greatly improves efficiency. Literally whole point of turbocharging except logic is the other way around.
Idea is great. Execution is great. Maintenance, not so.

Ford drivers playing victim now

To be fair I wouldn't blame the bullshit last year on the drivers, I'm sure they had little to say in the matter. I can see why they're annoyed.

>>76553652
what happened whats the context

>>76553819
>ford gts had been kicking ass
>show up at le mans
>suddenly slowest GTE pro cars by a lot

>>76553652
They were cool with it when they had a 1.5 second advantage last year though.

Anyway, GT BoP is a joke, tired of it being so fucked the last few years where it seems like only 2 makes have a shot to win and Corvette/Aston get analed into last place. and can only hope for a reliability podium

>>76553996
If only someone could create a decent GTE BoP

oh wait IMSA is a thing

Ford is 3-4 seconds off their pace from last year, and bop hasn't been very harsh this year. Kind of obvious what is going on and I'll be sick if they are rewarded for it on raceday.

Came here from another team, you can expect to be payed at least 200 euro dollars per day and upward if you are a freelance, depending on role and experience (crew chiefs get more, the guys who just drive the trucks get less), P1 teams have F1 levels salaries and get mad money.

Yeah mostly that, especially since they are forced by the rules to drive a certain amount of time in the night even if you have no plans on letting them drive in the night during the race.

And even if your drivers are ok, you still have to watch out for random Ferraris backflipping out of a corner and bringing your car with them

Yes. They even mentioned it on RLM.

>>76565925
Kanaan did not drive a good race a Texas last Saturday.
He was the cause of possibly two incidents, one for certain.

The real people to blame are Indycar and Firestone. Indycar for the aero configuration that was conducive to pack racing, and testing limits that did not give Firestone enough time, while Firestone shoulders part of the blame for coming with a tire that was subpar.

Kanaan is a solid driver who has rarely ever had a race like that, It was an honest mistake and those can happen when pack racing at 223mph on a 1.5 mile oval.

>>76565977
Rubens only had one subpar season, most people forget he ever drove in 2012.

I tend to agree, but I enjoy Indy on ovals almost as much as road courses and racing at Texas could be better for everyone like in 2012/2013.

Is this, dare I say it, Rebellion's year?

>>76566382
>Rubens Barrichello recorded the fastest ever pole position lap at Monza in 2004 when he lapped in 1m20.089s, 161.802 mph. But in the pre-qualifying session for the same race (which did not count for a grid position but only Q-running order), Juan Pablo Montoya lapped the track in 1m19.525s (162.949 mph/262.641kph) which remains the fastest lap ever recorded in an F1 car.
Now whats that thing?

Dubs and FERRARI wins overall

One of Indycar's lovable backmarker teams (Dale Coyne Racing) got a repair bill of three million dollars after Kanaan wrecked BOTH their cars during the Texas Indycar Race. While the team was already pretty deep into the costs since they had three wrecks in the last four outings as well.

No, probably about $800,000 or so for Coyne alone.

This isn't an official stream and could be shut down at any moment. I'm sure whoever is streaming this will try to get it during the race. FIA wants your money for it.

Complete masochism.

>>76566990
Why bother going for pole when the field consists of just 5 cars?

>>76566990

theoretically yes, but Porsches are more reliable.

A Toyota had an engine failure earlier today, so dont discard they get fucked by the end of 24 hours. The risk of failure is real in Toyota

If Porsche stays consistent they can win again like last year, remember they're running flat out now in quali, they wont go as fast on race day, they have to keep a pace.

Also dont forget possible crashes and obstructions by other cars in other classes.

>>76566993

They have consistently proven to be GOAT tier through the years though.

And they're doing excellent in this qualification
