Officially unofficial Le Mans 2021 race discussion thread

[Clockwork Cupcake]

Mods, please feel free to close this thread and redirect people to a better one, but I can't find a definitive thread for talking about the race itself.

There is a thread in Events about being there but that doesn't really seem appropriate.

So, are we all stocked up on beer, cheap sausages, disposable BBQs, beer, and the like?

Good idea. I am liking the idea of an LMp2 having an overall win this year.

Bit of a st year for LMPH, but hard to see anything other than a Toyota win for LMPH unless they hit issues. Although, the Alpine is looking good.

LMP2 should be close, considering they're all running Oreca's

The Toyota's have had gremlins in a few races and the Glickenhouses have had brake issues this year, so I can see the Alpine winning.

Cats and dogs falling from the sky. This is going to be an interesting first couple of laps.

As someone discovered when they were stuck on the grid, one mechanic having left a jack under the rear of the car!

Well it hasn’t been dull so far

[Sandpit Steve]

Well that’s possibly the most chaotic quarter of an hour of racing we’ll see all season!

In Endurance Racing, for sure.

I'm amazed that Eurosport 1 HD on Sky hasn't hit me with adverts yet. In previous years there would have been 3 by now.

Oh, wait, here we go. Advert time.

[Sandpit Steve]

After the chaos on the track, now for the chaos in the pits. Time for slicks!

What happened to the Glickenhauses in the ad break? How did the number 38 car jump them?

Also, does anyone have a link to somewhere which lists all the car numbers with make/team/drivers etc. I can’t find it anywhere.

And... another advert break.

I may need to resurrect my Eurosport Player subscription on a monthly basis and then cancel it again.

Here’s the leader in the pits, now let’s go to a break…. Grr
