@@skrlaviolette what’s crazy is i get no ads in the video so idek if they’re making money on these maybe it’s region based I don’t know but still pretty cool considering how the viewership hasn’t been so good for WEC and IMSA, no one likes endurance racing anymore☹️
Watching this race a 2nd time. I've watched 2016 - 2018, and now I'm watching the 2017 series start to finish, but there is nothing like Le Mans! My favorite part is night racing. Going around the curves with the onboard cameras is mesmerizing and relaxing. The 24 h of Daytona just doesn't compare, though I've watched 4 of them. I've just discovered endurance racing, and I love it!
@@PhilipCarroll64 It gets about as boring as guided meditation, or listening to early 70s albums by Pink Floyd. I have to be in the mood for it, but it's like taking a trip in my mind. I love long road trips, especially on night freeways (some people would find that seriously boring), and this is like a more intense version of that, with so many critical factors that have to come together to even participate, let alone be competitive. The circuit is also very special. It never gets boring. Again, it's like a long road trip at night - you're in a dark rural area for a while, then you emerge into the lights, first the suburbs at the Porsche curves, then the city lights at the start-finish line, then under the Dunlop bridge, back to the rural darkness. That flow is wonderful! I don't think I can explain the appeal beyond that.
Toyota cannot stand any competition. In 2018 they finally won, having no real rivals in manufacturers class. On the other hand, I think they deserved it, having come so close to it in the previous races. I just wish there were more hard-fought races. Thanks
Don’t remember when Audi won most of their Le Mans by themselves? Honestly, your comment sounds so salty. And anyway, Porsche, Peugeot, Cadillac and Ferrari are coming back this year… good to see some competition again
Thank you FIAWEC! Intelligent commentary. Thank you again. I am a racing driver with a TH-cam channel. I believe that this is how all Motorsports media should exist--streamed. F1, etc. Liberty Media take note and please learn. g
Streamed without a paywall! It only makes sense to the sponsors. I think racing series lose money by streaming their races via broadcasters that require a paid subscription (i.e., NBC Sports). I simply won't watch them. When I watch freely streamed races, I bet I get branding hits a thousand times a minute! That's a fair deal to me. Racing series need viewers far more than viewers need racing series. Look at IMSA in the US. They get it. Their races are broadcast live behind an NBC Sports paywall, but they post them free the following Thursday. I'm a huge fan of IMSA, and I'm really into WEC too since they do something similar (though the delay is a lot longer). F1? WRC? Indycar? Forget it! I'm not paying different subscription services for different series that give me "packages" of content that I don't want and will never watch. I'm content here :)
@@richardg6983 I'm watching the 2017 season now (new fan of endurance racing), and I was thinking the same thing about the Gulf Porsche. So far this season (2017), they've been in the wrong place at the wrong time. But yeah, the ways Bykolles find to retire their car can only be entertaining, because it's too sorry to think about any other way. I don't remember how they did it in this race though. I watched this once a few months ago.
That is awesome ! Thank you so much ! May I ask if it's possible to upload races without any commentary please and have an option to disable it during live streams ? Cause I enjoy the sound of the cars and I can sort of understand what's happening.
I hope that with the new hypercars will be more easy to distinguish one of another, you only can see the Porsche and Toyota, and lmp2 all of them looks the same, that makes GTE pro more interesting to watch actually
Thank you FIAWEC!! The whole race in superb quality. Does anyone know who the commentators are during the first hour? Alan McNish is unmistakable but the others?
@@retr0254 The guy who gets all excited like a kid visiting Santa's workshop is Toby Moody. He's the main commentator who's not there because of being a massively successful driver at Le Mans. I don't know if he was ever a driver, or if he's a professional sports announcer. (I suspect the latter.)
I’ve got a question for you guys. I never watched WEC before now, but I do know that LMP1 used to be a lot more packed out with Peugeot, Audi, and Nissan. What happened?
@@mikeraymond8614 I've been assuming (for no valid reason) that the hybrid systems were too complex and expensive for anyone but the big manufacturers to afford. Was it specifically the hybrid systems, or expenses in general? Did Porsche and Audi both pull out because of expense? I've been wondering, because they were great competition, and when Toyota finally won, they won against themselves. I felt so sad for them, even in their victory. They woulda-coulda-shoulda won every year if only..., but they needed more races to establish reliability. The worst anyone could say about them is that they gave good competition to the others when they weren't suffering their growing pains, and eventually the worst luck of any LMP1 team.
I like RLM too, but we get Allan McNish! Everything else is secondary. He reminds me of Jackie Stewart as a commentator, and not because he's a retired Scottish racer. He has an extremely keen eye and a way of explaining the detailed technical stuff. He's never afraid to speak up when one of his colleagues says something stupid, and I appreciate that.
@@richardg6983 Honda has a huge racing market in the US. In IMSA, Honda is marketed in racing as Acura because Acura is their more up-market brand in the US. Team Penske races Acuras in IMSA (with Honda factory support, I believe), though they're really a prototype chassis (maybe Dallara?) with a Honda engine and gearbox. (It's Penske. They win.) IMSA's GTDaytona class also features several GT3 versions of Acura street cars. That's what Katherine Legge drove (very, very well) this past year. Since Honda is worldwide, I imagine cars labeled as Acura or Honda run in a lot of GT3 series. Honda is also by far the most popular engine in Indycar racing, the only alternative being Chevy.
21:10 Formation Laps ...
30:16 Race Start ..
You're a fucking gentleman and a scholar.
the entire motorsport community thanks you for your service.
That's incredible! They've uploaded the full race split by hour!
Hope they do this every year.
I would't even be mad, if they put one commercial in the beggining, in the end and every 30min or so.

HOLY SHIT FULL RACE!
Thank you so much! I can't even watch the LM24 in Canada with my cable subscriber. I was afraid this would be the first Le Mans I'd miss since 2000.
Damn!
2000?
I was born 2001!
You must be one diehard fan bro!
Once again, thank you FIAWEC! I guess I know what my weekend will be comprised of :)
Thank you WEC ;D

Anyone here rewatching the 2017 24HR of LeMans during 2020 covid19?
Waiting ByKolles to finish Le Mans be like...

Christopher Michael this year maybe?

What do you do to combat boredom while watching the full race?

HELL YEAH
I’ve got a question for you guys. I never watched WEC before now, but I do know that LMP1 used to be a lot more packed out with Peugeot, Audi, and Nissan. What happened?

No McLaren no Lamborghini no NISSAN no Mazda what happened to these companies why aren't they taking part in the race
Eric Smith Nissan's car was terrible so the project was cancelled and those other brands you mentioned haven't raced at le mans for years.

Did nissan join in 2017 le mans?
What channel do I watch this in America with time warner

'here's the second chicane on the mulsanne straight , this is a quick motor race".... haha

ok mad props for posting. but this IS the internet so I must complain - get the RLM guys on here like IMSA does for their youtube
Joe Acampora radio le man's do their own spare commentary but has not pictures. Up to the end of 2016 they use radio le man's commentary
