Who? I went downstairs to get some coffee and missed it

Just overtook the sister car too, which appears to have steering issues.

Way too long, too bumpy, too many tight corners, too taxing on engines and brakes. If they still wanted to run an F1 race here, they'd have to make massive changes to the layout too as there's not enough runoff in some sections of the track, as well as some other safety concerns. Not many spectator facilities, either. There's a part of the track called Bugatti circuit, it hosts motorbike races and I believe it has FIA Grade 1 meaning it could host an F1 race.

It's considered winning the class. Each class gets a separate podium, and then there's the overall podium.

Yeah, it's been very chaotic...

Yep. He wanted to repair the car but the marshalls forced him out

Massive shunt for G-Drive there

Not sure what happened, Neel Jani was 3rd and giving the Ferrari ahead a hard time, then was overtaken by a Corvette, and then got unlucky due to the safety car. Seems there's some technical issue with the car now as he dropped further...

Both WRT cars and both sets of driver have been fantastic so far. 1-2 in the class on their Le Mans debut, hopefully they go until the end and win.

Oh they're actually back! No damage, just got stuck in gravel.

Alpine crashes out! Bad luck, they actually had a chance to challenge the Toyotas this year.

This is a great resource to catch up on any missed action: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dXZyauBhMatFsN_xHjA_wKDouXnxBOTIL9FWuReP9B4/preview?pru=AAABe45r9W0*R1PDPFZ-zQmgSAeyban0aw#

In terms of how the actual cars look and sound, I feel the same way. But LMP2 is extremely competitive, so it's fun to follow. A new class based on GT3 will replace GTE in 2024.

Nah, don't care about them at all. Could be better once other manufacturers join next season, but I didn't like LMP1 and I expected better design for the hypercars... Disappointing so far. It's all about LMP2 and GTE for me.

Want a stream?

Yeah, I know, I forgot to tell you, too

The same driver got a 10 second penalty for causing a crash earlier in the race, as well.

Awareness level: 404, file not found. Seriously though. He just drives straight into her

Replay of one United car taking out his teammate. Stupid.

It's proper mayhem and chaos right now. A few big shunts in the last lap, with the rain starting unexpectedly and everyone on the slicks. United Autosports cars took each other out when one of them tried to rejoin the track. Crazy. G-Drive car lost it in front of the Richard Mille #1 car driven by Flörsch, she tried to reverse in the middle of the track, and got collected by Cloet in a Racing Team India Eurasia #74 car Safety car, unsurprisingly.

It's getting dark, and it started raining again... This is going to be a carnage.

Nobody's watching then?

What a crazy first lap

The race is about to start... And it's officially a wet race! Really excited. Come on, Porsche... Also hope Glickenhaus does well in the hypercar class.

Most definitely cringe
