Sucks, but not much could be done. They probably shouldn't have ever gone green after the first red. I know a lot of people are like "Well they raced at Sebring in '65 with more rain and bigger puddles" or whatever blah blah. But the fact is, modern sports cars just can't cope with rain like old ones.

I'm all about racing in torrential conditions, but once hydroplaning starts like that, it's mostly a pointless game of roulette. And Daytona maybe could work on drainage, but the fact is, they're on flatland at sea level, not a lot can be done when you get that kind of rain. Same for Sebring.

Who was it? I was watching the NBC feed here in the states. Was it The Radio Le Mans crew (John Hindhaugh and Paul Truswell being the main guys)? They do pretty much every big sports car race for RLM, and some broadcasts/feeds use their audio overnight, or even for the whole thing. Would have been British accents.

If it was the same feed as NBC (were there a bunch of segments with NASCAR people?), then maybe Leigh Diffy? He used to do F1 for NBC, and did Aussie V8s for a while too. He's done a lot of other stuff, including Olympics coverage too. Australian Accent.

It was the usual RLM folks. The guy that tries to sound incredibly excited all the time even when nothing is happening. There was a point yesterday where he was shouting slowly because he didn't actually know what he was going to say because he didn't have the information. Just shouting to stay on brand, basically.

I knew the rain was bad when you could see ponds in the grass on the infield of the tri-oval, I know they well maintain that so if even that is saturated than the track has to be dismal. There really isn't anything they can do for Turn 1, the transition from banking to the flat side can't really be drained at all.

And honestly the number of yellow flags this year was more down to how many cars broke down in shitty spots. There were a lot more mechanical retirements this year than there was last year.

Le Mans entry list is out. As this is technically the same WEC season as last year's Le Mans, much of the entry is identical. LMP1 has shrunk by two cars after the collapse of the Ginetta squad, while LMP2 is also smaller with less European Le Mans Series teams making the cut this year, including United Autosport down to a single entry despite an Asian Le Mans Series championship and LMP2 and LMP3 wins in ELMS last year, and Jackie Chan's team back down to just two WEC cars.

LMGTE Pro has almost all the same entries, except the third AF Corse Ferrari is gone and replaced by a Risi Ferrari, giving us the first privateer in the Pro class in a few years now. The Am class is where all the new entries have gone, including the return of WeatherTech Racing and a privately entered Ford GT for Ben Keating. Car Guy Racing adds a second Japanese team to the field after sweeping the Asian LMS, and Dempsey-Proton is up to four Porsches in the class after running three last year.

On the reserve list are the majority of the rest of the ELMS LMP2 cars, with the only standout being the Michael Shank LMP2 with an all-female driver lineup as the 9th reserve.

I’m not sure on whether it’s turbocharged. Chances are it isn’t because this is a development of the mid-engined RSR.

The organisers have BoP’d the Aston Martins. Now we’re seeing the pole car being hounded all race so far, and after 90 minutes they’re in 12th.

They might’ve gone a wee bit too far, and the rest of the GTE Pro field is strolling away from them.

I'm not sure if the BoP was Aston's problem, from what I saw. They weren't being passed on the straights that badly from what little I saw early on when they were on TV, and they actually got a weight relief by 5kg too. Nicky Thiim said their tires weren't holding up when he got out. I think they went for too much of a qualifying setup or something. I was looking forward to seeing if they get faster at night, but well, we won't see at least one of them. Big offs by one of the Corvettes and one of the Astons (the pole sitter).

Congrats to the winners. Sad about the Aston's BOP and the Vette crashing out.

Two of the Ford GTs have been disqualified, including the Keating GTE Am winner, for having fuel tanks that were too large. The cars were fitted with a measured tank in the USA, then after they arrived at Le Mans the BOP changed and they had to adjust the tank volume down but didn't have proper measuring equipment.

The Keating car also had refueling times that were fraction of a second too quick, so even without the disqualification, they would have had a time penalty that demoted them to 2nd place in the class.

Conspiracy theories are going to be in overload.

That's how the BoP rolls, though.

I've seen it being controversial before in GT3 but never put too much effort into hopping on either side of the fence. But that was before this week's Le Mans. I was keen on seeing Aston Martin do well after qualifying, but their 5 second/lap advantage was deemed too fast. It turns out they probably needed that 5 seconds per lap just to stay on the lead lap. By the end of the race I was just happy to see the GTE AM Ford GT doing well (those cars have grown on me) but that all fell apart too.

I'm not angry or disappointed. I'm just doing that face where you pull your head back and go "woah" just for a sec (because I still haven't got the energy available to care too much).

But it's here to stay. The ACO is going to use it in next year's hypercar regulations and the homologation for those things will last for five years. They'll fine tune the BoP and fine tune it some more, and eventually the swings in performance won't be so shocking. It has been a thing in GT3 for, what, nearly ten years now? Slightly longer? It's a new system with lots of nuance available and in ten more years we will be finding it odd that a new category won't be using it.

It's also a damn sight cheaper than risking a new manufacturer spending millions on developing a car that turns out to be a slow heap. That's got to be a plus.

Sure its needed but I just question making the changes to something so integrated and difficult to change correctly like the fuel tanks.

Easier to fit an intake restrictor or limit wing angles I would think.(I could be wrong)

Unless you could limit fuel fill with something like a standard gas pump is that even feasible?

The359

Just for curiosity, I looked up the BOP in regards to fuel tank regulations as it changed through the Le Mans week:

Pre-practice BOP as of June 5th...
LMGTE Pro:
Aston Martin - 97L
BMW - 91L
Corvette - 95L
Ferrari - 88L
Ford - 96L
Porsche - 99L

LMGTE Am:
Aston Martin - 99L
Ferrari - 87L
Ford - 95L
Porsche - 98L

Amended pre-practice BOP on June 10th...
LMGTE Pro:
Aston Martin - 98L
BMW - 92L
Corvette - 96L
Ferrari - 89L
Ford - 97L
Porsche - 100L

LMGTE Am:
Aston Martin - 100L
Ferrari - 88L
Ford - 96L
Porsche - 99L

And the final BOP made after qualifying but before the race on June 14th...
LMGTE Pro:
Aston Martin - 96L
BMW - No change
Corvette - No change
Ferrari - No change
Ford - No change
Porsche - No change

LMGTE Am:
Aston Martin - No change
Ferrari - No change
Ford - No change
Porsche - No change

So basically everyone had their tanks expanded by 1L with the late amendment prior to the start of practice (I believe this was a move to coincide with predicted weather and to ensure that teams could go an extra lap if they conserved fuel), so Ford's excuse that they didn't have time to accurately change the tanks after the cars were shipped from the US seems out of place since Corvette would have had the same issue. Aston Martin also had to change their tanks in the one day between qualifying and the race and did not run afoul of the regulations either.

Tank sizes weren’t the only things changed. In the specific case of the GTE Pro Vantage, it had a 5kg weight reduction and a small boost reduction in the turbo.

Consider the different effects these changes bring to the car. That’s what I meant by nuance.

Kchrpm
June 20th, 2019, 04:05 AM
Keating has said that the problem was that the tanks were in-spec at the start of the race, but the bladder they used to do so did not maintain itself perfectly during the race. As he put it, they left no margin for error, on the fuel tank capacity or fuel fill speed.

I've listened to a discussion on the refill speed thing before, tied to the team that got punished for it at Daytona. Apparently some bits of the car (the tank and tubing) have some small effect as well, which is exaggerated with the amount of fuel going in.

Question for you guys:

I'm watching the Nurburgring 24h and I'm curious about those lights that the cars have fitted behind the windscreen, on the top-right (pic for reference). I've seen the Blancpain GT3 series cars using them too, as well as a few other categories, for a couple of years.

I've been searching, but I can't figure out what they're for, or what the messages displayed on them mean. Sometimes they display a number matching the car, or a seemingly random number, sometimes they display a three-letter code, and I've even seen them flashing a full blue light in the overnight footage (I'm guessing this is to assist with blue flag rules for slower cars).

Any help on finding the info would be great.

And as usual it was a good race.
The last 30 mins was exciting, teams balancing position, fuel usage and stops and the almighty roll of the dice on safety cars.
One ugly bit when at the end of one safety car a car that was about 6th slowed down and bunched the field behind them and didnt attempt to keep up with the leaders. The reason - they had a team mate ahead and wanted to pit at the same time. But with teams only allowed one pit position it meant they "stacked" and basically park while waiting for their teammate to refuel. Or... they drive slowly, others cant pass and then build up a 10+ second buffer so they dont stack.
It was a shit move, Im surprised the cars behind didnt just go around them. They got busted and a drive thru penalty, but that doesnt help the multiple cars behind that were hurt. One potentially could have overtaken the leader due to needing one less pitstop - but this almost cancelled that advantage. Oh and the car that did it had their team mate coming first!
Hmm - Id have given the team a stern word that their car that did it would be pulled out and the lead car given a drive thru. That would stop it ever happening again.
Other than that - it was pretty good racing done with respect.

About halfway through the race, someone asked me what happens under safety car rules, and wondered whether a car can play the hold-up game that Couthard did.

I replied that they probably could, but it might be bad sportsmanship.

Certainly need to make sure it doesnt happen again and that teams are aware it will be treated seriously. As I said - unless the penalty hits the team ie both cars, then its not going to be a sufficient deterrent. Unless you go so serious as to ban a driver.

Simple fix would be to ban double stacking in the pits.
Surprised they haven't already considering how dangerous it is.

Not just the danger - but it can (and has) affected results, with a stacked car blocking the exit of another car.
Penalties can punish the offending driver, but they dont help the affected driver, they cant get time or position back.

This is more endurance season 2022 news, but that thread is a few years from existing:

Peugeot has announced they’ll be taking part in the new hyper car class at Le Mans starting in 2022.
