Why don't they have F1 here at Le Mans? Too narrow?

Question - So when this ends...does the LMP2 winner celebrate as well? I mean he won't be the overall leader, but since he's leader of his/her group, is it still considered winning the race?

This is a lot of Yellows correct? Feels like there has been a lot of wrecks, spins, and yellows.

#25? Yeah, that doesn't look great. They are definitely out.

Estre just got into the driver seat.

@nudge When did we get into 5th? Sadly the stream isn't showing too much of the GT series.

A Ferrari is off the track.

2 rear punctures led to the Alpine's crash.

Hit a wet patch or something, they literally just slid off the track. And they are back on the track

GTE is the best, IMO.

Do you like any of these Hypercars? They look ridiculous

Mine isn't working.

Da

And to watch it via MotorTrend, it's $50.

Ah, so I forgot to tell you. I tried to pay for WEC, but you can't watch Le Mans via WEC if you are in the US or Canada. hahaha

haha scroll to the bottom to see the final number.

@Spike Nudge provided the link to all teams in the first two divisions balance sheets.

10/10. Absolutely brilliant. Because of the style and story, there isn't much top praise without providing spoilers, but this was top 5 best books I have ever read. It was actually the first book that I slowed down at the end as I just didn't want it to end, but the library's due date is today so I made me some tea, set up a nice spot, and finally finished the boo. Well done Andy on another gem. Also @nudge I see this is already in production for a movie with Ryan Gosling as Grace. Not sure why they will do this and keep the humor, but we shall see.

If you think I talk down to you, then I apologize as it's never been my intention. You have bickered with a lot of folks here, so I just ask that you also take that into consideration before saying it's someone else's fault. About explaining the language to a Brazilian, how does that effect you? I simply stated the reasoning behind it in a post, in which @El Profesor liked, and we moved on. Did he feel the need to accuse me of speaking down to him? No. Is the whole concept crazy? Seems to be for some, and not for others, so why can't there be any dialogue in it. As for the morphing of language, yeah it wouldn't bother me at all if Germany or France wanting to alter the English language for whatever reason they had, but again, how does that effect me personally? It doesn't. Of course you are able to bash America, whether you live here or not. Where have I said your opinion is less than others? Has it been implied? When I say that I let a lot of the bashing alone and without a comment, that is just your comments. It's a lot of things in here that I tend to ignore because I am well aware people have opinions and they are unlikely to change to just based on a few words. Otherwise, I chime in give my thoughts, but I don't attack anyone directly... About for the moving, listen mate, I get it. I come from an International family and has picked up and moved around the globe myself (although without a family and of course not during a pandemic). I do hope you and your are able to move to somewhere that suits everyone the best in the near future, I really do. But let's not pretend it's the pandemic that is stopping you. You have spoken about moving back to Australia well before COVID, so while it certainly may be a hurdle now, it's a relatively new hurdle to something you've been wanting to do for years.

I'm happy to hear this. He still won't be 'going home to his wife', but at least he didn't destroy other people's families.

Certainly this is an odd scenario. Personally, we shouldn't have been there in the first place. Looking back, it's obvious we used 9/11 as an excuse to go to war with the Middle East and not much good has come from it at all. I was also surprised when I saw, and heard this guy, that he was worried about the situation in Afghanistan, I just assumed the complete opposite as it's rare you see an older white guy in America give a shit about a Muslim country. The situation where we go into these Middle Eastern countries, and attempt to change their government, is really a trend we need to stop. It's costing us a ton of lives, and ton of money, and really we are leaving this world a worse place than it was before we showed up. We are not the world police, and we should stop pretending like we are. The Taliban situation is tricky, as we initially funded them in our fight against the big bad Soviet Union, and in truth, our ideal goal was met as the Soviet Union was pushed back and ultimately collapsed. But now, the Taliban have taken over a country. From things I have read and seen, it seems obvious that not everyone within the country was against the Taliban taking over. They moved way too quickly and easily, so that is something to consider... Could we honestly be seeing a terrorist organization reform and lead a country properly? Unlikely. But their words have been promising, although words are cheap. Personally, I'd like see them allow those that want to leave, leave. And then work on building up the country how they deem fit, as long as they is equal rights (which again, is highly unlikely). I just hope things calm down and again, the people who wish to leave, are able to.

Agree. I'm livid about the whole Afghanistan situation as well, but there is a way to handle a situation, and about 500 ways NOT to. He choose one of the latter.

Well, you and @El Profesor are bringing attention to it, so I would say that you both are complaining about it. Whether you want to say it's prove that 'America is the worst empire', or that it's 'cringy' still is complaining about the use the language .When in this very reply, in which you ask why America, 'feels the need to alter very old language', is complaining about the actions within America. If you think I was calling you an idiot by explaining the language, then you need to relax, because I never said anything about you being an idiot nor was it my intention to talk down to you. I was simply stating why Latinx has come about in case you didn't know, and the same for @El Profesor, as I don't expect everyone to understand WHY things are done in this country, so I was simply trying to explain in case you didn't know. Also, language is fluid and is always changing. Do we still speak in Old English? No, because language changes and evolves over time, so it's most certainly incorrect to say we as Americans feel the NEED to change a language, and the language does that itself naturally. In fact, it would highly irregular if Language didn't evolve... Lastly, you say that when you get upset about something, that I get up your arse about it? That's simply not true. I leave a lot alone because it's honestly not worth my time. You constantly bash America, yet you remain here. Now, I don't know all the reasoning which is why I don't judge, but in all honesty, I'm not sure why you get all emotional when someone, particular myself, tries to respond to you with a differing view then yours? Absolutely nothing I said was an attack on your personally. Nothing.

Sad. So the guy wants to go home, but also comes to the capital with bombs? Something doesn't make sense. Obviously he is upset about the Afghanistan situation, which is fair as it's effecting a lot of people and is a tragedy, but instead of doing something to affect real change, he will now be lumped in with all the other lonies that have done similar stunts. Hope this gets resolved without any deaths, but this man needs some help.

Again, why? Out of all the things to complain about, this one boggles my mind. The language is heavily based in genders, so instead of referring to women in Mexico as 'Latinos' because you, men and all that, we say Latinx which is meant to include both men and women.
