So Webber's bruised, sore and slightly concussed (and with no recollection of the accident itself), but he should be out of hospital and back in the UK later this week. |

Good to get confirmation that he is OK, saw him wave on the TV as they carted him off but was still worried that he may have been putting on a brave face

Just finished watching this. Despite the finish it was still the best six-hour race for me.
It certainly had everything. |

Also, I wrote down every lap time of the duelling #8 v #14. i.e. in their final stints Beumi v Dumas only recorded a faster lap time than Dumas 8 times, and in Davidson's double stint only bettered Jani's lappery 9 times...and that was mainly because #14 was slowed by traffic! A win on straight performance wasn't on the cards at all...but we should applaud #8 for making a fight of it when they didn't really need too! The best LMP1 battle of the series by far...more please! |

Webber out of hospital now according to Porsche. Guessing he might have to skip the booze at the end of the season party.

Yes, I think all lmp1-h cars were under the record lap during the race. If not, only the #7 was slower. But looking at the gte times, the repaved track is worth 2 if not 3 seconds in lap time. 1:21's were the best lmp1 lap times last year. This year is 1:18's, thats 3 seconds too! The gte cars are closer in performance to 2013 so I think thats a closer like for like comparison.

Feel free to correct me if I am off base on this comment.
However it seemed to me that Brendan Hartley was in over his head this year, it especially showed during this race. If I'm not mistaken Webber handed the #20 off to him after his first stint with a + 20 second lead, Hartley then squandered it and lost the lead completely during his stint. Also remember him missing his breaking points on a few occasions, one being Arnage at Le Mans. Again, maybe I'm missing something, I just expect more from a factory LMP1 pilot. |

The #20 had an unidentified engine problem shortly after Brendan took over, thus the slow lap times.

You are entirely incorrect - Brendon Was amongst the fastest and most consistent of the Porsche drivers - The #20 car was apparently down on boost, something we were seeing (and commenting on) from midway through the race.

Both cars had a lot of issues with braking at Le Mans with the re-gen. Hartley wasn't the only guy to overshoot. My biggest concern about Brendon ahead of this year was that he might be slightly error prone. That hasn't been the case and he's looked to be a safe and quick pair of hands. The guy has just turned 25 he's going to have a long and successful career I'm sure. |

As for blaming him for the mistake at Arnage - well, that corner is a bit like the "Wall of Champions" at Montreal. The best of the very best have got that corner wrong, and that's before you introduce the unpredictability of cars harvesting energy in unprecedented levels. Hartley's become a prototype driver 6 years younger than TK. He has a brilliant opportunity to make himself a big name in this corner of the sport. |

It is a race engine. The calculator doesnt specify if that is taken into account. |

Obviously they rounded those numbers a little.
TF110, what I meant, in the calculator you linked you must imput altimeter pressure, this is pressure at sea level, not the pressure from the weather station, so you must add around 90 mBar to the weather station numbers, and you then get around 89% from that calculator. |
