#7 out 🙁
Le Mans serving up a classic - no idea who is going to win this!!
I don't think it'll be there at the end but for now I hope they're enjoying it!
I was hoping for Jota for the overall, Inter Europol for LMP2 and Iron Dames for GT.
See how it ends up
Safety car snooze time. Peugeot lose their time advantage.
I have no idea what is happening in the race but the entertainment is good 👍
Kevin Ester seems too hot headed to be a hyper car driver 🤷♂️
One thing that has annoyed me about the coverage this year is when they have the wee interludes which I don't mind if nothings happening on track but they don't seem to be able to interrupt them when like just there the JOTA binned it again.
They've also been talking over the team radio.
I might find other things 🙂
Ferrari taking after the F1 team…
Pissing away a 1+ min lead not being able to start the engine in the pits.
The on screen graphics are poor too. Takes to long to cycle through so difficult to tell who has retired or who is driving. Not sure they even have any graphic to show the driver lineup for each car?
I should really just have Radio Le Mans on at the same time
They do have graphics to show all 3 drivers but only seen it when in the puts or if they show the cars at the bottom of the screen. I used to listen to radio le mans and watch Eurosport but can't remember why I don't any more, maybe there was a delay.

That’s standard “been racing for 19 hours” stuff
Just need to see if it happens again. On pace the 51 should have it but Ferrari will be Ferrari.
Commentators seem to think that's it over but it's still got an hour 40 to go
Yup, wouldn’t be the first lead car to burst into flames* in the last hour
*other failure modes available
Edit: very good work to ensure they didn’t go a lap down
Yeah, just needs a safety car for it all to be reset.
Oooofffttt
Good god ..... Heart in the mouth time
AWESOME!!!!
Forza Ferrari!!! 😀😀😀
🏁🏁🏁
Well done Ferrari!
Toyota have never won Le Mans when they’ve had actual competition 🤷♂️
That was a good one! Bit too much safety car but if they will wreck the barriers they need to be fixed.
Disappointed for Iron Dames not sure why they slowed so much in the last few hours.
What did happen to iron dames? They were leading GTE am, I went and mowed the lawn, and when I popped back in they were in fourth
Overall fantastic race👍
@simondbarnes what did you make of the event this year then? Been reading reports saying; more expensive, bigger crowds, zero increase in resources to handle the increase in numbers, uncomfortably packed at certain times/places. Your experience any better?
I enjoyed the race this year on the TV. Should hopefully be going back next year. Just hate the camping (and crowds).
Congratulations James Calado!
Been a good 15yrs, but rode MTB with him a few times when he was a teen, had just moved up from Karts to Formula Renault at the time... His uncle is/was on here as "The Swede"...

Enjoyed it. The new hippodrome campsite we were on was flat and had clean showers & toilets. The neighbours were friendly and the fireworks display right behind the site on Friday was epic.
Tertre Rouge was excellent on Sat afternoon / evening - beer, big screen for the race and then an excellent French ACDC tribute band. Headed into the village area sometime after midnight for more live music and beer with some French lads I'd been drinking with in Tertre Rouge then staggered back to my tent sometime around 3am.
Had a few BBQs and lots of red wine and cheese. All good 👍
excellent! glad you had a good time and can remember at least some of it 🙂
Le Man Classic this weekend. My son is heading there on his Honda CG125. This time last night we were still trying to fix his front brake (all a bit stressful). Then he heads to Italy, Croatia, Hungary (for the F1), Czech Rep (for the Superbike), Germany, France and finishes just outside Bilbao (for the boat home).
Just had a message from a mate who I went to the classic lemon with about 5 years ago.
He's fed up with work and there are ferry tickets available tomorrow.... He wanted to know if I fancied jumping in his "fiat"* to pop back down to watch it again.
Unfortunately I have stuff to do for my daughter this weekend 🤦🏻♂️
* It's actually a Maserati Grantourismo!
