      @@jonnie2bad that sounds like a simple solution but it isn't. how do you recognize who's going slow when it isn't blatantly obvious? Are you going to compare laptimes? What if the car has a mechanical failure, and how could you erase doubts, would you take their car and go for more laps after the race? What if people start ramming teammates to have a reason (damage) to slow down? What if people start bruising walls? How can you even decide what kind of damage is enough to slow down and what isn't? When your tire pressures drop you should slow down to avoid blowing a tire which would cause more danger on the track than simply driving slow, but now you could actually program your computers to give false readings to allow you to slow down because of check engine lights...
      I guess this just shows what F1, Nascar and so on are about, the teams just constantly try to dodge the rules and the race officials constantly have to create new rules to ban whatever the teams are doing. It's much more complex than it looks.

    i miss the days when the chassis & bodywork is this various. i mean, Mazda 787B, Toyota GT-ONE, Jaguar XJR12D, Porsche 917, Merc CLK GTR, Nissan R92CP are different even when you look at it from afar.

      No fins, no hybrids.
      I won't be returning to Le Mans unless the ACO puts this in it's rules.
      I'm sick of watching pig ugly advertising boards with their insipid hybrid engines at La Sarthe.
      I had hoped hypercar would be a return to proper racing cars but Toyota appear to have already ruined that prospect with a 'hypercar' that is barely distinguishable from their recent LMP cars.

    1) Stephane Ratel, as in the SRO organisation that organises the FIA GT World Challenge series among others?

    3) I didn't know Nissan were attempting to make MotoGP bikes out of NSX's
    4) The Porsche mechanic almost having a Jos Verstappen moment
    5) That moment when you thought you should have taken a pit stop a lap earlier
    6) That touring Porsche is a very, very, VERY lucky boy...
    7) "Face over apex" because the commentator can't say "arse over tit"
    8) The Corvette V8's rumble drowning out the screams of that poor pit guy with his freshly flattened foot
    9) Someone please invent wireless ship-to-shore radio comms!!
    10) The Venturi proving to adopt the Rene Arnoux method of driving
    11) Sometimes it doesn't work (but was that the incident that led to point 13?)
    12) Flame grilled Nissan, anyone?
    13) The car sputtering out in front is a Toyota - or it was, until then...
    14) More students from the Rene Arnoux school of driving threaten to spice up the closing stages of the race
    15) Porsche win!! We're back in the 80's!! Someone please re-invent the Jaguar XJR-9!!
