They didn't black blag Ferrari at least.
1 hour later and I still don't understand this life
Why bother
So the black-orange-flag for the Ferrari just disappeared or what?
>>68677387
That's not the main reason why the Mazda won that year. The 787B was allowed to run almost 400lbs less than the minimum weight for the class.
The car itself was actually pretty shit. It competed in 20 other races and never had a victory besides the Le Mans (only one other podium finish). But because Le Mans is such a fabled race, people tend to think that the 787B was some type of godmachine.

>>68681723
I should've said
>surpass the 919 once and for all
It was better than the 919, but not for the whole race as we all saw. Porsche defenitely deserved that win, but it was still painful. And I really can't wait to see the even bigger enthusiasm Toyota has to prove everybody that they aren't just a meme that will never win Le Mans.
24 hour races are so comfy.

In the history of motorsports, has there ever been such dramatic ending as Le Mans this year.

They probably still think they can work with it, but you wont see results instantly. Redeveloping for petrol would be a huge task also.
>>68682749
The first year it was the same engine and a different gearbox, with a chassis based on the R8C. As well as using Dunlop tires.
But to be honest yeah the cars were the same, but it wasn't Audi, until in 2003 it was run my Joest, and was Audi without rings and in British Racing Green.
>>68678926
>>68678970
I think it's even more heartbreaking than that.
A new rule instituted in 2014 says the cars have to not only make it to the finish, but also make it all the way back around to the pits.
They instituted this to keep leakers from wanting the glory of making it to the checkered flag and then crapping out just past the finish line and creating a hazard.
If Toyota had instead of going those few extra feet past the finish to reset the car waited just before the finish line, then run that final limp-home lap after the flag had waved, the would have still been credited with 2nd.
So stopping the car those few feet beyond the finish line was the difference between 2nd and...nothing.
>>68682546
I liked it too. It's an underrated comment.
>>68682838
To be really honest there's no difference between 2nd and nothing for Toyota. Really it's all about winning at LeMans in the top class.

Ferrari getting dicked by the stewards isn't fords problem
seriously though, how can formula 1 even compete?
>>68683019
It can't, because F1 races aren't competitive.

Formula 1 has never been about cars, only about money.

they ignored the flag and a direct order by the race direction, though.

>Sportscar365 has learned that Ford issued a protest against the No. 82 Risi Competizione Ferrari 488 GTE in the final hour of the race due to the Ferrari not having functional leader lights.
Disgusting
>>68682802
Judging by what all the commentators were saying about the redesigned R18, it's going to be unstoppable next year despite it's lackluster performance this year.
>>68684110
Its bullshit what happened to them though
>>68677229
because Acura and HPD exist.
>>68684228
So Ford was behind it? That really is disgusting. I assumed it was race control being cunts, but i guess Ford is willing to stoop that low to get a 1-2-3. After all the help they got that really is pathetic.
>>68684110
It was a shit penalty for something other teams including the winning LMP1 car was not penalized for.

>>68684411
audi had to repair some of these signal-lights on both cars on the same side at the request of the racedirection too.
and so did one of the fords, iirc.
>>68684456
Right, but if the Ferrari had second stripped from it they will get the podium sweep, no?

WTF
>>68683019
Imagine a sprint series with LMP1 cars.
>>68684930
It's totally different because the other one has a closed cockpit
>>68685514
Let them run a mix of regular courses and ovals, maybe even a point to point street course.
>>68683019
not at all.
it's really funny, how 6h and 24h races are more exciting than 1h30m "sprints" in f1.
or how in lmp1 you have 3 factory teams with vastly different concepts fighting neck to neck.
I really hope this time around FIA is smart enough to not kill WEC again just to please Bernie.

THE SMILE AND OPTIMISM: GONE
>>68690034
To be fair he had that same expression the entire race.
>>68690134
sort of yes.
all yurops of the team were crying, and the nip weren't showing any emotion. eerie.
last one I have
>>68690134
That was actually amazing. He stayed the same, no emotion, while Hugues de Chaunac was crying. (And me too...)

why are people so annoyed at ford?
Not Le Mans but:
>tfw still 5 weeks left until Super GT at SUGO
>>68690732
They sandbagged to the extreme, while some of the other cars that should have been competitive got killed by balance of performance.
>>68690034
I feel sorry for these dudes, they were acting all calm and trying not to let emotions get to them, you could actually see the guy cracking some sort of smiles about 15 mins to the end. And then when the car failed, you should just see his eyes shifting to avoid looking at the camera. At that moment, he well and truly died inside and probably felt like an embarrassment, the whole dishonourable meme aside.
>>68691660
Yeah man it's absolutely crushing. I think everyone was just in disbelief, I know I was.
>>68690034
I just wanted them to win

>>68692761
I mean their press statement kept saying we'll be stronger next year and such, so there is some hope we'll see them in the mix next year.
Who knows if they can win the championship, but either way, can they out develop Porsche and Audi, as next year that R18 is going to be rather strong assuming the BoP gives them a normal tank.
>>68694227
I thought it was just GT that had BoP
>>68682388
Wait what the fuck? That's seriously the rule? You have to be fucking kidding me.
>>68694301
The only extent of BoP LMP1 has is pre-season regulation changes.
>>68694305
He probably could have finished in time if he stopped before the finish line. Instead he stopped right after it. All that time he was stopped there was counting towards that 6 minute limit. Would have at least gotten second place.
>>68677331
>image.jpg
>>68694305
Le Mans has always been not who ran the most laps, but who rand the most laps while still running.
in 2010-2014 it was getting really bad, teams would have cars that didn't run for the last 10 hours roll out, spill oil all over the place, and break down after the finish line and cause safety concerns. So they made a rule. You had finish a lap in six minutes.
Since the Toyota stopped after the line, the entire time it was broken down it counted vs. the limit. Thus there last lap was 12 minutes, and they did not finish the race.
If you didn't finish you are put on the DNF list like the person who blew a engine or crashed in the first hour.
>>68694381
Thanks.
Hopefully they will give some boosts to the pure privateer efforts like the AER engined entries.

>>68694301
They don't have BoP but they have Equivalence of Technology which is math magic that dictates your fuel flow rate and and tank capacity based on different parameters of your car like the megaJoule class that you're in. This way they can balance diesel and petrol engines.

From the regulations:
10.15 Conditions for classifications
To be classified, a car must:
d) When 75 % of the time of the race has elapsed: at least 50 % of the distance achieved by the car leading the race under pain of exclusion;
e) Taking the last lap in a time inferior to 6 minutes (start/finish line-start/finish line or pit exit loop-start/finish line), except in case of "force majeure" at Stewards’ discretion.
It is forbidden to stop on the track to wait for the presentation of the chequered flag.
