if the n2 car catches at 10/lap, if there is 200 secs per lap, and an 800 sec gap, 200 x 4 = 800, meaning it should take at least 40 laps for n2 to catch n38
30:33 - I'm curious - the commentators have all talked throughout this race about the drivers and others being tearful (and when they did I rarely saw tears, if ever). In this case Andre Lotterer. I'm American, and I like that freedom of expression, but Americans would only use a phrase like that concerning men in the most extreme and obvious of circumstances. As archaic as it sounds, big boys still don't cry in the US, unless the situation is extreme, in which case we all switch around immediately and say it's ok for men to show emotions, even a sign of strength. It seems that European men (or is it just Brits?) think nothing of being seen or referred to as crying. Is that true? Would anyone from other parts of the world care to comment on that? (Sorry this turned into an essay. That's my question, above.) I'm not talking about absolutes. American men can and do cry, and you can talk about it, but it's a matter of degrees. Generally for people to feel free to talk about it in the US, the situation has to be particularly tragic, and the man must be clearly crying, which I didn't see in Andre Lotterer, though I think he had cause. After the amount of toil those drivers and crews put in, waiting a whole year for the race, and even though it's not his fault, he was at the wheel when the worst thing happened. He was the only one in a position to spare his team and crew the heartache, and he was powerless to do so. That's gotta be gut-wrenching! I wish crying (among men) were more normalized in the US. It's a normal part of the human condition, and a good cry can make you feel SO much better. It's almost the same as laughing! Ok, disclosure - I'm a 56 yo man in the US, and I was on one antidepressant or another for 2 decades, and I couldn't cry if I wanted to. It was a side effect of the med. When I discontinued the med, I re-discovered the joy of crying at a good movie, either in joy or sadness. I love a good cry, and I'll cry at anything now! (Some of the people close to me are sometimes uncomfortable when I cry while describing a piece of music, for example.) That's why I told my doc I don't want that med anymore unless things are really acute, and then only in the short term. Crying feels like a wonderful part of life that I don't want to be deprived of again. Another disclosure - I am a retired neuroscientist. I worked in the lab of the guy (Bill Frey) who analyzed the components of tears and found them to be a major means of disposing of stress hormones. He was on network TV after that - a real celebrity! (That rarely happens in a field like neuroscience.) So yeah, as a man in the US, I value a good cry, and as a scientist, I understand one reason why crying might feel good, and why that particular side effect of antidepressant medications *might* be a bad thing in the long term.
Okay. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought of getting the second Porsche to push the first one to the pits.
7:57 The leader in trouble.
7:58 Leader Porsche #1 slow down

thats kind of what ended up happening....
Could you post the 2016 version?
Is the biggest lead before having to retire ever seen at Le Mans?
13 laps at 8 miles a lap is over a 100 mile lead!

Would 21:06 be legal or working? To maybe get a bit more energy for the hybrid system?
I think it whould be legal but you loose to much time with the second car and that whould have cost Porsche the win
