Confirmed: Rebellion are replacing the engine (failure but not sure exactly what happened) and trying to get back out on track tonight, in an effort to get some laps on the new engine.

Then must either be ready to jump in and do 3 laps tonight, or convince ACO that they have enough experience and/or be prevented from driving at night.

RLM makes the point that Dempsey himself is on that list and is there

But will his wife let him drive? Thought she pressured him to step back and he may not still have the insurance he used to carry any longer either.

Keating puts the ford in the gravel, snatch tractor is on it

Damian Baldi · 13 Jun 2019, 18:52 (Ref:3909890)

Finally Dillmann improved to 3.23 to get the best lap time ever for ByKolles.

I'm streaming RLM but watching the eurosport feed, and was totally confused by the ambient sounds on the radio. The video feed had a Porsche going down the muslanne straight, but the sound was a car downshifting for a corner. It took me a few seconds to realize what was going on, I thought the Porsche was having a problem!

If you listen via Youtube, you can pause the video and sync it up!

Carlton and his pals over on Eurosport are still wondering when we’re gonna see the Krohn Porsche...

thanks! I'm going to have to work on sync for the race.

Pretty hard to follow qualifying without a live timing system that shows sector times.

Some cars were on track. Lap times were set. That's about what I got from that one.

I have to rectify my comment, they got a 3.22 with the Nissan last year on Q1

Could they improve it in the next Q3? If they are a bit faster, they could be a good rival of DragonSpeed on the race.

It is quite unsatisfactory. I'm going to feel a little lost trying to follow the race with the official T&S.

It's really boring to follow the race without sector times.

What was the reason to cut it?

Akrapovic · 13 Jun 2019, 19:44 (Ref:3909902)

The developer, James Muscat, received a cease and desist from the ACO telling him to remove the Le Mans feeds. He has since tweeted that he "is in communication with the ACO".

But as it stands, it's down and will not cover Le Mans/WEC.

seanyb505 · 13 Jun 2019, 19:58 (Ref:3909906)

Man I would even pay wec if they wanted to give access to that timing. I get branding and image and all that, so tweak that feed to look like wec.

I imagine the comm teams will have access to it...how do we find a leak? Imagine Trussers only having access to the wec app lol.

kvenom · 13 Jun 2019, 20:00 (Ref:3909908)

Anyone think Kobayashi can get into the 3:14 again?

Lack of decent free timing sucks, but somebody has to pay the bills
People complain about IMSA having an activation fee for manufacturers, they complain about bronze drivers, they complain when works teams are not stopped from winning, they complain when there are adverts, they complain when there's a pay wall....

And I really don't see what any of it has to do with where they choose to put their penis - but I guess some of us are stuck in the '50s

seanyb505 · 13 Jun 2019, 20:06 (Ref:3909911)

It's not lack of decent free timing, it's lack of decent timing at all. wec timing is incredibly basic, and almost not useful at all. It's got about as much data as the ticker on the race feed.

kvenom · 13 Jun 2019, 20:09 (Ref:3909912)

3:16.1 for SMP impressive.

pafe · 13 Jun 2019, 20:12 (Ref:3909914)

BMW crashed, in gravel

WEC timing is free anyway. They aren't losing money. They should buy the timing71 system. I'd pay for that, it's that good.

kvenom · 13 Jun 2019, 20:12 (Ref:3909916)

3:16.8 for Lotterer.

Ferrari333SP · 13 Jun 2019, 20:16 (Ref:3909919)

3:49.1 for Farfus in the BMW

Damian Baldi · 13 Jun 2019, 20:17 (Ref:3909920)

Impressive times at front, hybrid or not.

Akrapovic · 13 Jun 2019, 20:40 (Ref:3909929)

Christ, the official timing said the 93 and 29 were stopped at the second chicane. It's neither, it's the 98.

blankfile · 13 Jun 2019, 20:41 (Ref:3909930)

The other rebellion also smoking to a halt
