The Peugeot one for the lead was the best to my mind

[@joaquingonzalez834]

from the outside, too

[@mistera3024]

Read your comment before getting to that part of the video. Even then, it did not disappoint. Should be No. 1

[@oxey_]

people actually leave each other space. It's actually interesting (ignoring easier following and such) how overtakes being lower stakes actually encourages more overtaking

[@twandepan]

people will always cry about BoP but I think the racing is absolutely banging which is what it’s supposed to do

[@ducedevlstear2471]

Racing is supposed to be racing in the first place. Which BoP doesn't make it true racing.
You wouldn't give Usain Bolt backpack with extra weight to make it exciting, would you ?

[@twandepan]

@@ducedevlstear2471 that's such a flawed comparison. Running doesn't have teams that have better gear than the others. Racing without BoP is like giving Usain Bolt prototype sneakers which vastly increase running speed while the rest are stuck with normal Nikeys. I get the appeal with development races (I love it too) but this "BoP is not racing" is just bullshit

[@ducedevlstear2471]

@@twandepan I rephrase that, BoP is not Motorsport in essence. It's manipulated.

[@timsmith6605]

⁠@@ducedevlstear2471 yes, having rules in Motorsport makes it not Motorsport in essence.😅

[@ducedevlstear2471]

@@timsmith6605 so handicapping someone because he is better at the game is somehow sport ?
Having different rules for different competitors, giving advantage to those that are bad at it is not sport period.

Wide moves are scary but its still helpful ❤️😌

[@adrianbalboa5353]

Unlike F1 there is actual passing

[@aventusV33]

Why is there a need to compare to F1 about everything. F1 is not a BOP championship. So, there always will be gaps

[@Ariespradana13]

Why always bring F1 in wec channel?

[@diethersantos6404]

*Formula E Gen3 era is still laughing in the background*

[@josesammut9396]

I agree ​@Ariespradana13 but for many we've picked this up instead of f1

[@TheMechanic626]

Stop comparing everything to F1.

[@abe0110]

dear fia wec, when are you going to upload the 52 minute highlights of qatar? thanks

[@aislanpacheco9319]

Real motorsport ❤❤❤

[@simonjackson7269]

This is why WEC is better than F1!!!

[@reallyluckyoaklawn8306]

Thanks for uploading! Don't be bashful, go to top 10! Mix it up between LMH/LMDH and GT3.

[@kevinrafisugiharto5380]

Can't wait for Monza

[@mathewhosier9739]

No monza this year, there going to Imola instead which is the next race next month, this year's schedule is r1 Qatar r2 imola r3 spa r4 le Mans r5 Sao Paulo (interlagos) r6 COTA r7 fuji r8 Bahrain

[@aislanpacheco9319]

You mean Ímola , right ?

I give you Alan McNish Petit Le mans 2008, final few minutes. Christian Klein didn't stand a chance 😮😁

[@ArturoDrives]

Did he say "this is a great Imsa battle"?

[@reallyluckyoaklawn8306]

Yes, because they both drove in IMSA 2023 and 2024 Daytona! Cadillac GTP (LMDH) and BMW GTP (LMDH).
