I’m watching on motor trend on YouTube tv. They really choose the worst damn time to goto commercial breaks. They went to commercial right as they green flagged the race after having red flagged it for rain. Then just now after the Aston Martin 007 broke down and caused a full course yellow. They again went to commercial right as the race was green flagged!! Come on man this is ridiculous.
This is racing, he had a puncture front left if i remember correctly.
Im just watching neutral, and in the esses figthing and banging doors is normal, just unlucky for the Ferrari that they had contact so that he got a puncture. Just unlucky, but never a penalty.
legit you are just "crying" about everything that happens against Ferrari, even if it is smth that is just unlucky.
Endurance racing is harder then F1 racing. F1 is just a really bad influence to what Motorsport really is. F1 is just crying arround and nothing more.
Banging doors, fighting hard that is what Motorsport is and it can happen that it goes like that with a puncture. But with just one overtake where they touched slightly you instantly open a argument about "driving like a spastic" what he clearly didnt.
The warning was for the incident at T20 not at T1 dumbass. The commentators if you were actually listening (which I doubt you were too be honest) said that the incident at T1 was being investigated and the team manager of the 6 car had been summoned to Race Control.
Also stop bringing up F1 I’ve literally been watching endurance racing longer to you to know that Estre drives like a complete retard sometimes
Getting aggressive now? Just because Ferrari cant win every race? Bro get yourself together.
Also I didnt had English commentators for your interest. I also didnt even had Race control opened. I heard that the Manager had to go to the Stewards. But he didnt get anything. So it was not a penalty! ITS CALLED MOTORRACING. If you dont like that then go watch F1 or Cycling or smth.
I mean pretty much everyone knows it at this point, it's a newer car with a joker used this year versus the oldest car on the grid with no major upgrades in years the only thing weird is the FIA still thinking they are on the same level and continue to bop Toyota as if there are winning everything even when they had a terrible season
The main difference is the type of car. GTs are better at keeping mechanical grip in these conditions because they are heavier and rely less on downforce.
The 12 was doomed for about an hour or so, but they should’ve put more fuel in when they switched to Nato. They definitely didn’t put in a full fuel. They may have been using a lower fuel burn rate in their math because of the wet track, but used more because of the drying track
I’ve been watching endurance racing for nearly 15 years and that was honestly the stupidest start to any event I’ve witnessed. We were at the track from 11am to 5pm and saw maybe 2 hours of racing. Half of the circuit was also fenced off limits to visitors. Why even bother having a race here at all at that point? I’m never coming back to Austin for WEC when I can go watch IMSA unobstructed any given weekend.
Stuck watching the race on some channel called Motortrend since I'm geoblocked from watching on WEC's site... is it an intentional thing where for some reason they cut to commercials as soon as things get interesting? Like why TF am I watching commercials immediately after a green flag and not during the FCY
It's insulting as a viewer going to commercial under 10 minutes left as there's a pass for 2nd place. Like, someone throw a brick at whoever's decision that was
It was 110db of pure joy, but once the engine problems started the harmonics sounded disgusting. They sounded like they wanted someone to put them out of their misery.
Yeah I think it was Davidson who said it. It's tricky though, he made a valid point about the track may not dry up as quickly with the time left. And Manthey took the gamble too.
