[LM24 Race] Le Mans 2023 Race Thread

Button effective 2nd in GTE.

Go Camaro, fastest car shaped car overall

This pit update with the child's update isn't so great, but all of the pot break in stories have been useless. I get it, you need to get Goodyear and Michelin and everyone their stories but small screen not big screen

Think I'm about to fade out and call it a bit. Falling asleep in the chair with the puppy lap warmer will not be comfy later

Watching the race earlier when the sun was setting in Le Mans it was weird. I then looked out the window and it was still the day. Oddly unsettling.

And the #4 Vanhall is back out on track!

[TheMightyM]

What’s the under/over on the number of GTE-Ams that will finish the race? 10 of the 21 that started are already out…

Kessel looks like it is 5 laps until it pits. Then Button will be closer.

The G56 looks like it is getting 14 laps stints now, which is closer to the GTEs.

Years of being used to dinner at sunset and being weirded out by late late late sunset here. But sun sets FAST in the mountains and started watching in a deep VA valley, Georgia gets late late sunset in summer but means late sunrise, today is sunrise at 640 local so another 6 and half hours of dark

Morning everyone. It doesn't look like the night has been totally crazy, and Ferrari and Toyota still keeping touch. Sweet.

Brendon Hartley giving advice to the next driver. Which is presumably Ryo Hirakawa.

Good morning. North America here. We are pushing on. Flagging a bit, but pushing on.

[crooky]

Good morning. Just missed a few hours.

What happened to the #93 Peugeot? That was right up near the front before but now seems at least a lap down.

The #6 Porsche seems to have moved up as well. Pass arounds after safety cars?

[AndreasDavour]

Now's the question. Should I get back to the beers I didn't drink last night when I faded, or should I start with breakfast of a more traditional kind?

[airbusA346]

What's the minimum drive time for the Bronze driver in GTE?

I'm calling it for a few. I got up from the chair and the dog ran to her crate with the oh thank God it's bed time finally speed

I'll have to find my SGR shirt for tomorrow, there are actually a decent number of race fans at our Sunday market and I've seen McLaren F1 and Indy shirts and a couple SGR hats as well

Sadly put it in the wall for the 93. Repaired but lost 8 laps or so.

Thought that was the 94, or did they both decide to park in a no parking area at a high rate of speed?

[AndreasDavour]

Cereal does look interesting.

I'm pondering taking a short snooze but can't take myself away yet. Always the worst feeling waking up and not knowing why the race order has changed
