I'm glad the Land motorsport fuel flow issue was identified during the race as opposed to them winning the class and then the issue arising resulting in an ugly situation of protests etc

It’s not a Rolex 24 like the ones we’ve seen recently, but one thing it certainly isn’t is ‘over’.

2017 Le Mans 24 Hour was over about 5 times according to some posters.

Really deflated by Castroneves---that is what a "double-edged sword" is all about, though. really good, classic endurance race ... I just happen not to care about the remaining P teams. I wonder what Corvette will pull out in the last hours? Not too hopeful.

I hope GTD is a great race ... for people trackside.

Another right rear puncture for WTR

Right rear puncture again for the 10. He's in the infield now. Maybe wanting a ride on the ferris wheel to end this day....

Yes, but the lap won't count so it loses another lap on top of what it loses slowing down.

Kind of nice to see the Ligiers and ORECAs are so close to the Cadillacs after all this time.

If Conti are allowed to give the teams balloons and call them "tyres," then I don't see why Van Der Zande can't use the infield when his right rear pops.

Akrapovic · 28 Jan 2018, 12:38 (Ref:3796082)

In a statement earlier, Continental firmly blamed the teams for being too aggressive on the setup.

The problem Conti have is they have a bad track record. So who do you believe?

When it affects almost the whole field, that means everyone must be using extremely aggressive settings, according to Conti. I find it hard to believe that across all the prototypes, they are all using similarly large amounts of camber.

All my money is on the CORE AUTO #54. Haven't had a sighting of them in 18 hours thanks to FOX, but 4th overall!

It'd be fun if it ended up as Core vs United or something.

Yeah, that's a very decent position at this moment!

AndreasDavour · 28 Jan 2018, 12:49 (Ref:3796087)

Hmm. Did #86 just pit?

RWill2073 · 28 Jan 2018, 12:50 (Ref:3796089)

Good morning! As I expected, everything has happened while I slept. Sucks to see both penskes so far down, and it be an axr runaway. But, still a long way to go and the cadillac hasn't been bulletproof this race.

When will ford get their 5 minute stop and hold for bop sandbagging?

Akrapovic · 28 Jan 2018, 12:51 (Ref:3796090)

#10 has retired.

Who'd have called that? Apart from a tyre technician.

It would find it hard to believe that a team like WTR would
a. ignore Continental's guidelines
b. keep ignoring it after seeing tires failing on competitors
c. keep ignoring it after a failure on its own car
d. keep ignoring it after a second failure on its own car
e. ...

#55 on fire....

gert · 28 Jan 2018, 12:54 (Ref:3796093)

I think a Mazda is about to retire as well

Koenigsegg · 28 Jan 2018, 12:54 (Ref:3796094)

Anyone brought marshmallows?

RWill2073 · 28 Jan 2018, 12:54 (Ref:3796096)

Oh look, a mazda on fire. Ya don't see that every day.

Erm.... Nevermind.
