If you are a Le Mans driver and you look at your teams on the left and to the right and one of them is Dalla Lana. You know you won't win.

To be fair though, those drivers are essentially paid for by Paul. And they didn win the title last year.

There's a generic coloured Ligier that hasn't gotten up to speed after the slow zone.

Koenigsegg · 16 Jun 2018, 19:55 (Ref:3830486)

Again #92 Porsche is lucky with the slow zone. Another easy 30 seconds gained. Such a shame that their big lead is all due to safety cars and slow zones.

How do you know they gain 30 seconds? Doesn't it depend on when the slow Zone is released?

The 92 could run into it 1 more time than the others. Or the other way around

At this moment of the race, they gained 30 seconds. They might lose it again if they're at the end of the slow zone when it's released. But that seems unlikely though.

I think that's what he means. The way the SZ was deployed and lifted meant the 92 did one less run through it and gained 30 seconds.

Ginetta does not look too bad, indeed.

TF110 · 16 Jun 2018, 19:59 (Ref:3830492)

#10 dragonspeed lmp1 back out.

MaskedRacer · 16 Jun 2018, 20:00 (Ref:3830493)

Will we finally get a yellow flag period where the #92 Porsche won't benefit from?

AndreasDavour · 16 Jun 2018, 20:00 (Ref:3830494)

Sad to see Paul put it in the wall. I wonder if the brakes failed?

Ford have enough cars to organise that!

Apart from that it is also the fastest GT car on track generally.

Wow I just now noticed that Senna/Lotterer/Jani are back to 5th. Nice job guys.

Maybe they're trying to play the long game against Rebellion. The #3 has catched it multiple times so it seems it has a bit more pace

Not this "coach" segment again.....

Well last year, Christensen crashed it all by himself in the Ford chicane during the race. So anything is possible I suppose....

Articus · 16 Jun 2018, 20:07 (Ref:3830504)

I think the 94 Porsche is retired? Doesn't look like anyone is working on it in the garage.

As much as I like TK, the TK and "McNish" look alike bits are a bit dragging.
The time they waste showing those about evens out them showing the side/side during commercials.

Porsche are doing welding on #94.

Just as you asked, RLM talking about it. Not retired - welding a suspension repair.
