Stream it. WEC has their own paid stream. I'm watching F1 and this at the same time.

>>15286167
>>15286175
>>15286170
the porsche 919 hybrid stream is the best its all unfiltered engine noise
so mother fucking comfy
>>15286175
They got a BoP change though to bring them down a peg. While Corvette and Aston got a power bump.
>>15286183
True, a very unique sound. Love that car!
>>15286175
Can't wait to see the Ford team have more electrical problems while team Corvette blows them away.
no 50th anniversary win for you.
>>15286124

Im just here watching pixeled ass shit on firstrow.
>>15286201
You need AcePlayer and then start this stream: 8987049165131583e4b95af4193f41b2720e4d0a
>>15286207
Does that code change for every session?
>>15286213
For every day more or less. So it might be different tomorrow. You can find them on Reddit under official race threads.
Yeah, it's great.
>>15286175
>Already brokedown once
will be very surprised if it goes the whole 24 hours
>>15286219
Neat, thanks anon.
>>15286124
I have become comfyness. I got this shit under wraps tight.
>>15286221
Don't you want to earn $3k a day?
>>15286236
>re up dabs at 3
>radio le mans and live stream now
>GTA5 and radio le mans later
I remember the first Le Mans I ever followed- 2001.
Racing has changed...
>>15286264
how old are you fucking dinosaurus
>>15286264
I watched my first one 5 years ago. How was it back then?
24 hours of safety car
>>15286236
I bet you're not even 75% as comfortable as I am
>>15286221
here you go buddy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSZFFj14zc4
>>15286284
Thank you senpai
This is good.
>>15286301
Stream or your mom dies.
>>15286303
Read the thread you stupid cotton picker.
>>15286277
It rained like mad several times throughout the race. The safety car did come out periodically but only when the water ponding was causing legitimately dangerous situations.
https://vimeo.com/62710771
This start was ridiculous and makes me wonder why they even bother stocking full wets.
>>15286303
It's only 9.99 Eur for the whole day's stream you cheapass.
>>15286304
No.
>>15286314
Then I need to go out and put money on my credit card what I totally don't want to do today.
Here, you can have a snapshot.
>>15286124
Hosting a mirror of the WEC stream from the YouTube. If we lose it I'll pay for the stream and do it myself here:

>http://www.foxsports.com/motor/corvette-live-stream
Those corvette streams are from 2015 and don't work.
The Porsche ones are great for audio but the whole page and stream runs like garbage on my machine. I notice that every year. Not sure what is up with their site.
>>15286329
Tips to improve quality?
>>15286363
Even the official stream is a bit crappy right now.
>>15286329
man, thanks.
>>15286372
anyone have a non audio link to the official stream?
>A U D I
>It's a "fox sports is showing a golf tournament instead of le mans" episode
>>15286381
Yeah, wtf. Good thing I'm rooting for Porsche.
>Audi in charge of reliability
Who rooting for Porsche?
Audi will get BTFO again
>>15286388
Perfectly in sync with their roadcars.
>>15286387
As a Toyota fanboi for so long, but also being a kiwifag, I'm torn. I won't mind if #1 porsche wins, cus hartley and wobbler.
>>15286199
Corvette already BTFOing by Porsche
Mark Webber yo, gotta have that Aussie pride.
>>15286375
No problem. For me it looks a bit pixel-y, on my phone at least. Don't wanna check from my computer because it's 9 years old and I'm doing everything I can to keep it all under 80℃ so it doesn't fry itself and die. Tried switching from 1080p to 720p didn't help. Will try suggestions to Improve!
definitly black smoke
>>15286393
>>15286387
Porsche is best VAG brand anyway, Audi used to be based but went to shit when they killed the inline 5
>>15286413
>Audi used to be based but went to shit when they killed the inline 5
lol'd
>>15286413
They still use it in their entry-S models
>>15286417
Muh group B. Audi used to be cool.
>>15286409
Using OBS currently.
What can I do to make it better?
>>15286427
Typical kiddo.
>>15286430
PUT A FAN ON THAT BITCH
OPEN A ROOM WINDOW
TAKE BOTH SIDES OFF THE CASE
PUT ANOTHER FAN POINTED AT THE GFX CARD
TURN UP YOUR AC
literally there isnt much else you can do
>>15286437
Done all that. GPU is only 35-40℃, based ASUS directCu II GTX770
>>15286430
close antivirus, close everything.
Go to power management and turn on high performance.
>>15286284
My comfortability is otherworldly, anon. If I become any comfier, I'll transcend to another plane of existance and be unable to watch the race.
>>15286441
>>15286437
But I meant the stream quality.
Not sure if this is just my phone
>>15286427
I always preferred this.
>>15286447
i imagine you are wired to the router and no one is using the internet but you
Someone at Porsche has some questions to answer, only leading 3 of the 4 classes.
>>15286262
I'd love to have a little of that for the wee hours, when the commentators go to sleep and you just see the cars going round the darkened track.
>>15286441
let me see the advanced tab
>>15286448
How do I become so comfy senpai?
>>15286447
Nothing running, fresh reformat 48 hours old. Only things installed are chrome, xSplit (not running), OBS (high priority) Speedfan, MSI afterburner, drivers and Overwatch.
Nothing running in background.
>>15286430
it's very nice right now. Amazing job
>>15286457
Correct.
>>15286465
>>15286463
someoen make a lemans crew in GTA5 and start a corp and we can race in the mountains
>>15286473
make sure you open your task manager and kill everything that isnt firefox flashplayer or your streamer
spools can be killed its for printers
as can ANY nvidia process
>>15286469
Get foam pillows, rearrange your couch if it's not properly aligned with the tv. Prop yourself up, turn the speakers on and just lean back. Let the race enter your entire being.
>mfw my pregnant girlfriend makes sure I'll only have to leave the tv to piss. Food and drink is brought to me.
>>15286479
nothing there will really help temps without affecting the stream majorly
>>15286484
Goddamn, you're a /comfy/ god.
>>15286480
This is standard practice as I use this for gaming (lel)
EVERYBODY
1. Download AceSteam (google it)
2. Open this link= acestream://5321c7991342679a57104ef0eca5b9c45ecd0f30
3. Choose Audio Track 2 (in the Audio tab) for English language
4. Turn Deinterlace ON (in the Video tab)
5. Proceed to comfy the fuck out
>>15286484
I'm not envious.
>>15286496
>>15286487
Temps are now holding steady near 80's for CPU and RAM.
Should I try Firefox instead of chrome?
sticky when?
>>15286506
>implying the jannies are actually gonna sticky a thread for le mans
>>15286513
we have a sticky every le mans tho
>>15286505
firefox doesnt waste resorces spying on you and reporting your actions to google so it will by default be faster
>>15286513
>they do it for free
>>15286505
I'm not concerned about temps as long as they don't crack 90's. I have been regularly gaming with temps in the 80's for like 3 years without problems. Tower is an old Dell Precision T5400 with 2 Xeon e5430's, 16GB RAM and a GTX770.
MAXIMUM QUALITY NEEDED
>>15286491
I didn't choose the comfy way of life, it chose me.
It's important to capitalize on the little moments we get to relax.
>>15286518
I know, I'm just taking the piss out of the jannies.
>they do it for no pay
>>15286523
i have a xeon with a socket sticker mod
also enable 61-120 fps in advanced
>>15286497
Im just getting russian commercials. What the fuck, I watched the same porsche commercial twice.
>>15286500
You shouldn't be, anon. You have been witnessed, riding shiny and chrome. With eternal dubs on the highways of valhalla.
>>15286533
Switched to Firefox, will do.
>>15286537
It's just Eurosport, they show commercials every once in a while, and even though the commentary is in english, the commercials still stay in russian.
>>15286284
Thank you senpai
>being overtaken by a v6
>>15286145
>>15286167
Seriously, they switched it to FS2, why the fuck is golf more important than LeMans?

For anyone that wants it on TV, they just switched it to FS1.

Cool. I'd dig it.
Also, le mans threads are all off topic at the same time as /comfy/posting so eh
>>15286598
You're telling me
>>15286600
Oh don't fuckin remind me. Jeez I was so upset it broke when it did.
WTF just happened in GTE Pro?
Suddenly the top 5 cars are out?

Am I the only one that really digs the boxy look audi is going for this year?

Let me know if it has problems.

Plz be right.
I want Toyota to win SO HARD
Also WTF is YouTube guy doing?! This is not me for those watching my stream

>>15286284

>>15286636
he is rephreshing so we are seeing the most up to date video
The BOP from yesterday still doesn't make sense, limiting the Ford GT's boost from 4200-7000RPMs seems like a huge nerf for a turbo car and to their racing strategy in general.
>>15286642
Throttle control, final destination
>>15286624
The stream is perfect. Thanks again!
Using this stream btw, got posted in another thread but has been perfect for me so far:

The grimaces on the P2 cars humor me.
I can really feel the /comfy/

True. But then they don't use superchargers.
Best kind of rush hour
Its going to be ultra comfy in here tonight.

It's excellent, and to think an American made turbo-v6 would be destroying everything in it's path.
We should all pitch in and build a private P1 car :^)

I get more of a spaceship vibe from them, but I can definetely see the truck thing.
>>15286763
>>15286763
>an American made turbo-v6
I thought it was Canadian? also i have no idea where the V6 out of the new Ford GT even comes from. i.. don't think its at all related to anything Mazda is it? (plz say it ain't so)
>>15286765
trying to get my squad to go in 60/20/20 on an M3 to build so we can be an epic pro race team from 1998
Only just finished my finals and have zero knowledge of what's happened.
What are the current GT placings and how much longer is left?
Also, which is best stream?
>>15286761
That's okay, anon. Envy is an ugly thing. We should all just embrace the comfy and enjoy the race.
>>15286774
The Duratec 35 blocks are made in Lima, Ohio and the 3.5L EcoBoost is based on the Ford Duratec engine (which had nothing to do with Mazda, though they helped with some of the other Ecoboost engines, the 2.0L specifically comes to mind).

GTs were 1 and 3 until the most recent Pit, I'm using this stream: www.ustream.tv/channel/wat-live1/pop-out

Thanks anon
>>15286847
One light - 1st in class, two lights - 2nd in class, three lights - 3rd in class. Zero lights - out of top three.
>>15286847
They're in-class position indicators for 1st second and third.
The color of the number-block indicates the class just in case herp derp can't tell.

Anyone else think endurance broadcast crews focus too much on pitstops?
I get that at night you can have some of the camera men get some sleep but it's day time right now.

When there's no real action on track it's good to focus on something that makes a big change 20 hours down the line.

I wish you luck man. I know that pain from the child and dad view.
what does a noob like me need to know to get more into this?
>>15287133
What do you want to know?
Basics:
>24 hour race
>3 drivers per car
>4 classes (2 GT and 2 Prototype classes)
>The oldest endurance race in the world
>One of the three most important races (along with Monago GP and Indy 500)
>Top class is 1000 hp hybrids
>>15287133
LMP1: Fastest cars, many manufacturers involved, fastest cars have half their power coming from a hybrid system
LMP2: Privateers, not as fast as LMP1, no hybrids
GTE Pro: Professional racing drivers, manufacturers involved, based on super cars
GTE Am: Same cars as GTE Pro, but no manufacturers involved directly, one of the drivers has to be an amateur or "gentleman racer" as they are known
Porsche are the reigning champions, Audi used to be most dominant, Toyota on a way too long dry spell
Ford GTs new at Le Mans
>>15287116
You should get that cynic outlook checked by a doctor, anon. It's not healthy to be that bleak. Or you could just accept that some of us can actually find women worth having a family with. Either way, our differing views on family and the culture surrounding it, isn't really worth derailing a comfy le mans thread over, is it?
>select all images with pie
Delocious.
>>15287141
>Audi used to be most dominant
Yes and no. They won the most races in the least amount of time, but overall Porsche still have the most victories at LeMans.
Porsche ftw
>>15287147
Porsche did not win since 1998, inbetween the two victories literally 3 races were not won by an Audi
I know full well their history, but taking the 917 and 962's successes into account today doesn't really matter for that
>>15287141
GTE Am cars have to be at least a year old, so for instance the Amateurs are still running 458 Italias and not 488s.
>>15287133
Oh, and if you want to get into it, watch it for a few minutes. If you won't "get it" once you see a prototype passing a racing supercar like it's standing still, you won't get it.
>>15287154
True, that's why I said yes and no.
They have been on and off since the war though, coming, winning and leaving.
>>15286950

>>15287179
>213 posts
>new thread
you're as retarded as ever inu
>>15287139
Is it a series? Like are there other 24 hour endurance races that make up a season?
I assume all the classes are competing at the same time, I can't imagine a Corvettes competing against those purpose built machines.
How can I tell when something special is happening?
Is MOBILE JUAN back this year?
>>15287212
oh yeah
>>15287141
This is insightful. Gives me hope that I can get lots of money and run this race myself someday.
>>15287209
It's a series, World Endurance Championship. Several 6-hour races and the 24 hours of LeMans.
You compete inside your own class. LMP1s against each other, GTE Pro with eachoter, GTE AM with eachoter,... So technically you have 4 winning cars in every race, one in each class.
You have to watch it. There are times when they are all just running around, focusing on strategy and there are times when it all comes together, but you won't know it unless you watch it or follow a thread / stream.
>>15287228
At least try out 24h of lemons first.
>>15287209
It's an endurance race, the only special thing that can happen is an accident or a mechanical failure.
Apart from that, making predictions based on times and shitposting about FERRRRRARRRRRRI is all you can do.
God, I wish I could have been there this year. This is my favorite race.
>>15286145
You have every right to be mad.
Fuck golf in general too
>>15287209
Tune in to Radio Le Mans if you haven't already, most informative live commentary

>Apart from that, making predictions based on times and shitposting about FERRRRRARRRRRRI is all you can do.
wat
You forgot about the hours-long battles, pretty much the best thing about endurance racing.
>>15286175
Why do they sound like shit though? They don't sound like a v6.
>>15287234
Of course, but I have to dream big right?
>>15287252
They do sound shit. Wish they would have been V8s.
>>15287250
Yeah, but they're not sudden happenings, it's not about one car passing another one, it's something you file over a long time.
And also yeah, they're the best thing of course.
>>15287238
I'll just leave this here:

>Like are there other 24 hour endurance races that make up a season?
Le Mans is the only 24h race in WEC, but other series have great ones as well like VLN's 24h Nürburgring in May and Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup's Spa 24h next month.

There's no replacement for displacement.

Mulsanne straight got broken up into chicanes after cars started topping 400 kph.

While Le Mans is part of the WEC season, it's also it's own thing. It has it's own sanctioning body, and most of the entries don't compete in the rest of the WEC season.

I understand why they did the v6. If they pull off this win they can trumpet the fact that their eco boost that won the 24 hours of lemans it will work well in your street car/truck
Why is Patrick Dempsey allowed to ruin the 911's racing pedigree?
>>15287276
Just to prove the point of small engines:
>record for highest top speed, 253 mph
>3 litre twin turbo V6 engine
>muh displacement

From a marketing standpoint I get it as well, just wish they'd made it sound better.
The shadows are starting to get long.

There's a reason the Veyron has an 8 'litre' engine, yuropoors.

>>15287346
Hey phonse, Yeh GM got hobbled and is getting whipped.
>>15287312
Yeah, me too. But racing priorities are to win. They only time they worry about sound is overall decibel limits.
>>15287328
I really need to go here at least once in my life. I'd stay up all night and watch the sunrise as the race continues. That's got to be such a comfy feel.

Congrats on who completely you managed to miss the point?
Woe. A quadruple amputee is racing
Now that's something
>>15287308
Dempsey's put in his time. Don't hate.
>>15287365
Heh, you replied to two of my posts. Yeah, I need to go there once as well. But need to save up some £££ first.
>>15287371
I didn't, I just don't think it's worth really debating. Different engines for different applications.
