>>68691840

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_24_Hours_of_Le_Mans
>By dawn the #17 BMW was 4 laps in front of its sister 15 BMW, it looked like nothing could stop the BMW's. At approximately 10am JJ Lehto driving #17 BMW suffered a stuck throttle and crashed in the Porsche curves. The front of the car was badly damaged and could not continue. This left the sister #15 BMW almost a lap ahead of the #3 Toyota which had been quietly cruising around at a steady pace.
>With this sniff of a win Ukyo Katayama put the foot down in the Toyota and set the fastest lap of the race of 3:35. He narrowed the gap to less than a minute till again a tyre blowout befell the Toyota team. Ukyo was however able to return to the pits for new tyres and continued. By then bar any problems for the BMW the race was out of reach.
What did he mean by this?
1994 was also bad
Toyota will never ever do it
>>68692826
Forever second will never win

>>68692826
What happened to Wobbler's team? I notice they were the last placed LMP1 team, finishing behind even some LMP2 cars?
His team won the C'ship last year didn't they so what happened?
>>68693535
>Not knowing who Team Oreca are
Seeing this goddamn viper in EVERY racing game between 1996 and now should have made you familiar with the company
>>68693639
The old good time
>>68691390
Backstory please....
Did driver fuck up or they ran out of gas?
>>68693535
Christ I remember this car, looks absolutely epic
I had a picture of it on the inside of my locker at school (yes I was sad), even though I had no idea what LMPs were at the time, or what endurance racing was. THAT'S how good it looks.
>>68693569
Mark Webber team?
Had some issues early in the race and never was in contention.
>>68691929
>he unironically doesn't watch Top Race or Turismo Carretera
>>68693631
>Le somehow faster than LMP GT1car
>>68693639
They build a ton of those, (at least 27 of them) which is a huge number for a race car.
>>68693719
General power failure. It a complicated hybrid engine.
>>68693719
The dangers of driving a prius on steroids.
>>68693736
Damn that sucks. Always a fan of the Wobbler
>>68693719
Broke down. They weren't even classified because their last lap was too slow or something. So they didn't even some 2nd. They essentially came last.
>>68693992
You have to finish the last lab in 6 minutes or you will not be viewed as finishing the race. They did that due to teams rolling out broken down cars to make the finish then breaking down since they can't make a full lap. It was becoming a safety hazard.
>>68693992
>>68693967
>>68693915
Thank you gents
>>68693055
They all look COMPLETELY different, and have completely different drivetrains. For the LMP1's, at least.
>>68694514
I will miss the open top LMPs, I understand this was the last year for them.
>>68693126
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
prototypes have been ugly as fuck for years especially with the fins
Well, it surely would win a 23:57h of Le Mans.
>>68692389
blame the faggot black privateer BMW lm nazicar for fucking with the toyota
>>68693491
R390 is so fucking beautiful
>>68693639
And so are these
I drove the shit out of these in the gran turismo games, goddamn based Oreca

THANKS
has Nissan ever been within reach of winning, or at least given adequate competition in their Le Mans history?
surely the R390, R92 cars did something?
>>68694973
>Memesmo
>>68694973
Think the highest they ever placed was fifth.
>>68691390
is that fucking milo at 0:20?
Would you replace lmp2 with gt1?
24h with lmp1 lmp2 gt1 gt3 would be awesome
>>68696444
No. The name is poisoned.
We might get GT-Hybrid eventually. ACO doesn't want GT3s racing in the 24h of Le Mans and they're meant to be geared towards a "gentleman" class, or used to be, in order to keep costs down which keep rising.
LMP2 is in a bit of a fucked place. American manufacturers don't want to spend as much money as P1 teams do, so it suits us to allow manufacturers in the class. However, P2 in Europe has great participation but then you run into the problem of "fake Silvers" and teams that have massive budgets which could be participating in an LMP1-Lights.
Takes a lot of thinking and bartering to make any significant change so don't expect anything soon.
>>68696444
GT1 is not going to happen as >>68696985
says.
I think you are going to see a two tier Prototype and a two tier GT setup for some time. Though it wouldn't surpise me if they end up with a "new, less expensive GT" class for privateers that eventually gets pricey.
>>68693496
Holy shit....
>>68693496
are the first two at road Atlanta?
>>68698223
Yep. And that's not even all the flips
>>68700084
Those elevation changes sure did cause issues. Still a great track to visit a race at.
>>68692005

>>68693631
>a fucking production based car dominating Le Mans
what a year
Twelve hours later and I still feel disgusted and sick with this
Toyota pres says he's thankful for all the heartfelt and sincere support they've gotten.
He wants to return next year and challenge the race again with an even better car.

All you fags who kept memeing about Toyota withdrawing from Le Mans should stick to F1 threads.
