Well, here we go few more hours to go.

Warm up didnt go, that great. Couple red flags and the last one was right at the end so session wasnt restarted.

Really nervous for this one! Less then 2 hours to go now! Forza AF Corse

1 hour to go.



Did hear its meant o rain just after or at race start for 5 hours

Darn FS1, guide says 24hr Le Mans, but still has golf on - better not miss start of race!

EDIT: FYI for USA viewers - pre race is now on FS2, not positive but think it will switch to FS1 soon, maybe at start of race?

[458 Italia]

So you have Rob (started a thread)

Race will start behind the safety car.

[Rob]

fair enough about SC start. Lets hope we can go green very soon.

OOOOOOO #67 grid already.

[Rob]

gearbox issue for #67

[458 Italia]

There's a strong chance of a red flag here.

not yet. As the shower cross the track, best bet keep the cars rolling to "clear" a dry line.

[458 Italia]

Come on now it's time to go racing!

[The Architect]

This really is quite ridiculous. Okay, they don't want to lose any cars early but this isn't indy cars... are they waiting for slick conditions?

[Rob]

lets go

[Rob]

come on James

[458 Italia]

Audi are showing good pace in these very early stages.

[Nova]

Fisi was just passed, but we have a LONG way to go..

[Rob]

come on Sam

[Rob]

LMP2 car getting in the way

[458 Italia]

Damp conditions hurting Ferrari.

Porsche has the engine over the rear axle, helps in these conditions. Thats why they want wet/damp race.

Indeed.

I do wish they wouldn't moan about the pace the Ferraris have

[Rob]

James last lap was 9 tenths quicker than Porsche #92

[Rob]

Indeed.

I do wish they wouldn't moan about the pace the Ferraris have

Ferrari and Ford racing in 2016 with 2016 reg cars. Ford played games, so should be penalised for that. Vettes, Porsche and AMR should moan about how fast we and Ford are due to fact being designed to 2016 regs.

[Nova]

Rain at Arnage?

[Kyss4k]

Is it raining again? Jesus how I love Le mans :)

[Rob]

Rain at Arnage?

little bit. That will blow over quickly.

[Nova]

Not to put a dampener on things but it's raining from Porsche Curves all the way to the pit lane. Let's hope it blows over... #LeMans24

Yea, it looks like it's getting heavier.

[Rob]

just looking at the lap times and sector times, #92 starting to slow. The dry track is coming back to us.

Yep, all 3 Ferraris are the fastest GTs this lap
