It's a bit of a shame for Bykolles. If they had better drivers they would do better, but to attract better drivers they need to do better in the first place. From their line-up letting Webb start is like wanting an early bath.

I'm not sure the drivers are a problem. Webb was ELMS champion only a couple of years back. Kraihamer seems fine. Rossiter is a factory Lexus driver. Bonanomi is ex-Audi. Whilst it isn't the same as a factory P1 team, it seems pretty good.

There's good guys like Rossiter who's easily their fastest. Webb I'm sure has talent, but he's not nearly as quick as Rossiter. He made a mistake in the first lap and put the car out of the race.

It can happen to the best drivers - it really was unfortunate for the team.....

Webb could've won if that didn't happen, as he himself said. It certainly was not beyond the realms of possibility considering what happened

Maybe he did or didn't make a big mistake then, but you can't win the 24 by pushing on lap one. And experience suggests it would only have been a matter of time until he did make a mistake anyway.

The Toyota's ahead of him were the 7 and 8. I don't see how something came off their car when they were doing very fast laps. Maybe it was something on the track that hit them?

ByKolles is still alive and kicking (testing actually) if anyone cares! They ran a two-day test recently at the Hungaroring.

Great to see them testing. Perhaps next year they can complete 24 laps at Le Mans!
Perhaps I am asking too much too. |

To be fair it was contact with something that ruined their run last year at LM. They finished Spa ahead of all the lmp2s easily btw.

yes he is hardly hanging around, fair play to this plucky little team, they dont seem liked much by the media, but they do try hard......can anyone see the rpm's the engine is pulling? the resolution on my screen is not great.....it didnt sound like it was screaming, but what do I know!

If Rebellion make the jump to LMP1, I highly suspect they will use this Nissan V6 Cosworth, its a very good LMP1 engine, its a crying shame the Kolles car got taken out at LeMans, but qualifying certainly did say something, they thought it could go even faster as they never got a clear run in qualy.

Anyway, to me rebellion will stick with gibson, also because the oreca lmp2 monocoque and rear subframe shouldn't receive any big modifications to fit t. |

https://scontent-arn2-1.cdninstagram...38966272_n.mp4 I seem to read 323Km/h. I can't find where the revs should be stated in the wheel. |
