Even if the 66 is almost an hour down, all it needs to do is finish. Its up to speed again.

There's some dark clouds over turn 1 way.

If you listen closely, you can hear the furious editing of LM entry regs to deny the ELMS GTE 2nd place finishers an automatic entry.

Hedman is so slow that he is overtaken by a LMP3 car.
Not even one of the leading LMP3s, but the Villorba car.

Don't worry, there will be more Ford GTs to make up for it.

And with BMW poised to make a return to GTE in 2018 JMW can look forward to being screwed over for years to come.

But there will be no push from Ford to ACO to fix them a win for their anniversary. They have cheated themselves to that already so maybe JMW will get a nod next year.

Oh my TDS. Didn't see that coming.

I love that GT and P2 are having similar style battles for the title lol.

So how long does it takes to change the gearbox on a LMP2?

Is it gearbox? The car wasn't even firing. I assumed it was electrical.

Just throwing this out there - should TDS and G-Drive both fail to finish (which is a possibility!), SMP can win the title.

could be anything, but there was something up with the gearbox for JMW which did not fire, and the TDS car also did not fire.

I don't know where things are placed, but the TDS mechanics are looking at the back of the car. I guess they have electrical stuff all over the car.

For TDS it appeared they didn't have electrical power. They brought out what appeared to be a battery jump starter. But you're right, until they tell us we won't know.

Beche reporting an "electrical problem" but nothing more. Things look increasingly desperate as the title and the automatic LM entry slip away.

You are right, they did. Sounds electrical then. Now Beche confirmed it.

TDS have no luck at all, this year and the years before, and Jota has always had all the luck in the world.

Now Jota/G-Drive haven't been too smart with driver times, so even if they manage to finish, it's not decided yet.
