Great!!!

[Riccardog]

Awesome news!, maybe just Maybe, AF Corse should take over the running of the F1 team too.

[wisepie]

Great effort from AF Corse and the drivers, dare we hope for a successful 24hrs, that would really shake up the F1 team!

[458 Italia]

The warm-up session is about to start and the track has been declared wet due to light rain around the circuit.

Lets hope both cars get through this final shakedown ok with no problems! :pray

Thanks a lot and let's now enjoy the race!

[nuni]

MY child dream is to see Ferrari winning the 24h du Mans. Go for it boys!!!
:love
:love
:love

[458 Italia]

Looks like we're struggling a bit in the early stages with the slightly damp track, long way to go though!

[Aviamata]

Nooooo !

[458 Italia]

Could be a problem for #8 Toyota!!

[SFTifoso]

Why does this feel like the f1 team? Good in practice/qualifying then come race day we just get dusted. We didn’t even finish a lap in the lead :ouch

[Aviamata]

Maybe it's the Italian , specifically Ferrari philosophy way of making racing cars . Good quali pace and **** race pace

[458 Italia]

The Toyotas aren't dropping the Ferraris, they're better at getting the tyres up to temp. Plus we're on mediums where as the Toyotas are on softs.

[458 Italia]

Careful boys! Don't do anything stupid! :oops

[Aviamata]

Let's go fight for the 1st !

[nuni]

the top ferrari seemed to have some debris on the air intake for the engine. Weird and unkucky. I hope it flies over without needing a stop.

[Aviamata]

Why #50 drop down to 13th guys ?

[458 Italia]

#51 puts in the fastest lap. 3:29.074

[SFTifoso]

Why #50 drop down to 13th guys ?

Early fuel stop

Liberty Media destroyed F1 . I think F1 now is more like WWE than a sport . Stupid rule change mid-season and only small rule change next season .

[458 Italia]

Big crash! gonna be a safety car I bet.

[Aviamata]

Big crash! gonna be a safety car I bet.

Good opportunity for #50 to pit

Can't argue with that! It's a shadow of it's former self from 2014 onwards.

[458 Italia]

Good opportunity for #50 to pit

Ah looks like they're gonna keep it a slow zone. #50 pits!

[458 Italia]

#50 has lost out in the round of pits due to 3 slow zones now.

[Aviamata]

Advantage for Toyotas now...

[458 Italia]

Sad to lose the #59 AF Corse GTE AM car I'd love to see what happened there.

The older Alex Brundle gets he sounds more like his dad!

[Kyss4k]

We don't seem to have a race pace so far.

[458 Italia]

#50 has overtaken #7 :-)

[nuni]

We don't seem to have a race pace so far.

Why do you say that?
We are racing the Toyotas that won 6 times in a row.

They are the favorites after wining all races this year with ease , but I think we are going well. Tradicionally the race is decided in the night.
This is early game and not relevant as long as we stay in the leader lap. I don't think the cadillacs and porsches are the real opposition.

[Kyss4k]

My bad, just got lost in the madness :)

[458 Italia]

Up to 3rd!!

[458 Italia]

My bad, just got lost in the madness :)

Marathon not a sprint. :thumb

[Aviamata]

#50 pace seems good

[458 Italia]

Both Ferraris pit.

[Aviamata]

Chance to undercut the #8 Toyota

[458 Italia]

Some rain due in 7 minutes.

[nuni]

Error on the pit stops. 3 at the same time (including the GT). Not critical, but avoidable.

#51 did a driver change as well, but yeah lost a bit of time getting into the pit box. Giovinazzi in now.

[458 Italia]

The rain has started.

[Aviamata]

It's raining !

[458 Italia]

It's raining !

Much wetter than at the start!

[nuni]

In the last races Ferrari had issue with rain an keeping the tyres temperature, but they seem OK now.

Yeah we really struggled at Spa the track temp was 10 or more degrees lower there.

[458 Italia]

Really heavy rain now!

[458 Italia]

Please stay on the road #50 #51 :pray:pray:pray

[458 Italia]

Safety car!

[Kyss4k]

Jesus Christ :-E That was insane.

[Kyss4k]

There will be some brown pants that will need changing at the end of these stints

[458 Italia]

The Ferraris stay out!

[nuni]

I'm in heart attackheart mode. Please, just keep it on the road. No risks

[Kyss4k]

The safety car is ridiculously long now. What's the issue?

[458 Italia]

Cars are coming back in for slicks.

[458 Italia]

The safety car is ridiculously long now. What's the issue?

Who knows! could be barrier repairs taking a long time but I haven't noticed anything out on track!

Really can't work out their strategy.

#50 back to 2nd.

Dont like this american wave round for safety car. Track is to long to do it, and takes up lot time.

Great to see you mate!

Me neither takes way too long!

[Cavallino]

even listening to the race engineer during the race in spa, he sounds cool, calm, collected, and knowledgeable. All things I don't hear coming from Xavi.

[Cavallino]

He's great even when James was shouting at him down the radio he stayed perfectly calm.

Went to spa for wec. Was great get up close to 499p, see old friends on the team.

I was saying lol... Ye makes a big mistake! We're in the lead! 1st and 2nd now!

Flying so fast that it lost all it's wings

Full course yellow and a pit stop coming up for both cars

19 hours to finish.
Ferrari 1-2

[Rob]

Does timing71 work on tablet?

[Rob]

So sad my friends on 83 are out. Really gutted for them, especially lilou. We met her at spa

[458 Italia]

Does timing71 work on tablet?

Try chrome, if that doesn't work try kiwi browser. Kiwi is how I've got it on my phone before.

It's playing up a little atm but I think that's due to FIA WEC.

[Rob]

Cannt get it to work. Downloaded the extension. And the run timing71 doesn't pop up

[Tifoso Svedese]

Really great to see fast Ferrari cars for a change. Not to mention that AF Corse are very experienced at endurance racing and have won the big race with GT Ferraris so many times before. It's quite smart to outsource the running of the cars to proper sportscar professionals. Hopefully one of the cars will make it all the way. Long way to go obviously :-)

Cars are running really well atm. Long way to go like you say and the field is still pretty close even after nearly 6 hours so any mistakes could put us down the field. We all hope both cars can make it through the night safely! :pray

[Rob]

The 499ps and made with Dallara

[Tifoso Svedese]

They should catchfence the straight between Mulsanne and Arnage/Indianapolis and extend the runoffs a bit, then apply for the French Grand Prix. Always thought that an outlier circuit on the Bastile Day weekend would be a great thing, even if it's just 23 laps. Enough of plastic car park circuits.

[458 Italia]

The rain is back and it's heavy!

[458 Italia]

Looks like only #50 came in this time for wets.

[Tifoso Svedese]

Watching the Youtube onboard of the #50, only the stadium section appears to be soaked, the rest is good for dries.

[458 Italia]

now #51 comes in.

[458 Italia]

Watching the Youtube onboard of the #50, only the stadium section appears to be soaked, the rest is good for dries.

That's how it was earlier only a small section getting a soaking the rest bone dry.

[458 Italia]

It's chaos again!

[Kyss4k]

What happened to #50??

[Tifoso Svedese]

What happened to #50??

Pushed too hard, almost crashed. Then went slow back to the pits. It was Nielsen, the least experienced of the six drivers who got overambitious. Perhaps Ferrari were a bit cheap with the purse there. With all the money available I had thought there would be a star name in both cars, rather than just one former Grand Prix driver headlining one of the entries in Giovinazzi. Considering the break in F1 this weekend and how bad the season is going anyway, it wouldn't have surprised me if Leclerc had said yes if asked.

[458 Italia]

Pier is really pushing in #51

[Tifoso Svedese]

Pier is really pushing in #51

He's straightlining every other chicane, don't tell the F1 race directors :-D

[458 Italia]

ooops! Eduardo will be on him if he keeps it up!

[Tifoso Svedese]

Considering how benign the radar looks, I'm a bit surprised at how wet the track is.

[458 Italia]

Slicks going back on #50

[Kyss4k]

Keep it on the track :pray

[458 Italia]

#51 is in now.

[Aviamata]

Time for slick

[458 Italia]

#51 lapping fastest of anyone atm.

[Aviamata]

Our pace ist amazing

[Aviamata]

#50 pitting

[458 Italia]

Noooooo #51 in the gravel!!!

[458 Italia]

Oh no this is gonna be costly.

[Aviamata]

Can we recover? the race is still more than half way though

[458 Italia]

Can we recover? the race is still more than half way though

The car has the pace and we're still on the lead lap thankfully and there's plenty of time left, can't be making mistakes like that though. Surprised at Guidi.

[RossTheBoss]

Can we recover? the race is still more than half way though
Of course, there's lots of racing left.


Toyota are not having the Le Mans they thought they would.

Regardless of what happens, Ferrari can be very happy with their pace and showing for the first time back in endurance racing, and taking the fight to Toyota and Porsche already. The F1 team can take serious lessons from them.

Better still, put these guys on the F1 team.

[458 Italia]

#7 has retired!

[458 Italia]

Of course, there's lots of racing left.

[458 Italia]

Safety Car.

SC... so no racing for another hour or so

[458 Italia]

Seb Bourdais on the radio :rotfl

We're green again.

[458 Italia]

#50 up to 3rd after the restart, #51 in 4th after passing #2 cadi

[Kyss4k]

We're green again.

Exactly an hour :D

[458 Italia]

Exactly an hour :D

so it was! :rotfl

[458 Italia]

#50 should let #51 go.

[458 Italia]

Love the racing engineer I forget his name!

Rob would know.

[458 Italia]

Guidi passes Fuoco

[458 Italia]

Big shunt for Kvyat.

[Kyss4k]

Oh dear

[458 Italia]

#50 has pitted and in the garage... :-s

[458 Italia]

Green now as well :-s

[458 Italia]

#51 takes the lead but pits.

[458 Italia]

The repair on #50 is taking a while :-(

[458 Italia]

#50 about to come back out.

[Kyss4k]

The refueling was sooooo much faster at Toyota what the hell? We lost like 4 seconds.

[Rob]

The repair on #50 is taking a while :-(

Broken radiator.

[Aviamata]

AF Corse are a fantastic team, the WEC race at Monza will truly be a special race.

Scuderia could have just get member from AFCorse to operate on track .

[Rob]

Scuderia could have just get member from AFCorse to operate on track .

No, the scuderia has no imput and af corse have no interest on f1. Thats an insult. The only input f1 guys helped with was the ers system. All the guys in this team, 85% are all af corse. The rest, drivetrain, engine, electronics are ferrari employed and not x f1 guys.

Estre driving like a madman.

[458 Italia]

#51 pits

#50 set the fastest lap of the lapped

[458 Italia]

Please don't have a problem!

The top 10 now is so far between each other , except the fight for top 1 between #51 AFCorse and #8 Porsche as they keeping the gap around 18 seconds

[SFTifoso]

Let’s go 51!!!! 6 more hours. :pray

[Aviamata]

Yellow flag , #51 pitted . Gap to #8 Toyota behind is 50 seconds

[wisepie]

Been a bit of a nail-biting weather-hit event so far and still hours to go, praying that the team can hold it together. Good to see some true tifosi following the WEC after such a disappointing F1 performance this year.

[Aviamata]

#51 extending the gap from #8 Toyota behind to 62 seconds
#50 running at P7 is still trying to appoarching #5 Porsche

Track temperature is rising up

[Kyss4k]

I don't wanna jinx it, but this looks good

[Aviamata]

I don't wanna jinx it, but this looks good

YES!!!!!

[458 Italia]

Pier does personal best in #51 32:28.243

[RossTheBoss]

No matter how this ends it's a fantastic first showing by Ferrari back at Le Mans. There's no question this team is going to win races and championships, it's just a matter of when.

They can hold their heads high today. Truly the only team worthy of the Ferrari flag right now.

[Cavallino]

that was a heck of a move, the raw pace continues

[458 Italia]

Please no problems this time!

[458 Italia]

Phew!!!

[Cavallino]

clean stop!

[nuni]

eurosport uk commentators seems so sad everytime Ferrari is in the lead. Unbelievable.

[Kyss4k]

Saving fuel now? As we have 30% more fuel than Toyota who needed to pit already

[458 Italia]

Got to cover the Toyota pitstop.

[458 Italia]

Saving fuel now? As we have 30% more fuel than Toyota who needed to pit already

They stopped now to take advantage of the slow zone I guess.

[458 Italia]

#51 pits as well.

[Rob]

Better coms at radiolemans.com and click live audio

[Rob]

Saving fuel now? As we have 30% more fuel than Toyota who needed to pit already

Less to put in, and be quicker.

[458 Italia]

They've mentioned the possibility of rain before the end of the race on Eurosport.

#8 and #51 being pinged for track limits.

Is it just me or does Elkann look like he doesn't have a clue about what's going on? :-D

[458 Italia]

Another pitstop without incident for #51

[458 Italia]

The Toyota is lapping faster atm gap is 11.9

[458 Italia]

#50 is still going well, such a shame they had the radiator leak.

[458 Italia]

#8 did a 3:27.5 #51 doing 3:29

[Aviamata]

Come on , try to get P1 - P3 today !

[458 Italia]

Come on , try to get P1 - P3 today !

P3 not possible sadly too many laps back.

[Kyss4k]

Is it just me or does Elkann look like he doesn't have a clue about what's going on? :-D

I don't like him. He looks like an entitled **** who looks on people as like they are inferior by default

[Aviamata]

Without mistakes , #51 pace is still better than #8

[458 Italia]

#51 on a great in lap, pray for a clean stop.

[458 Italia]

Great stop!

[458 Italia]

50 does a 3:26.984 the fastest of the race.

[Aviamata]

Please no mistake , just be careful and we will defenitely win this race

[458 Italia]

#51 about 5 seconds back from putting a lap on #8!

[Cavallino]

i thought for sure the reason for leaving Hartley in so long was to go straight to Buemi

[Aviamata]

#5 Porsche pitted !

[458 Italia]

i thought for sure the reason for leaving Hartley in so long was to go straight to Buemi

Yeah! That would've made the most sense for them.
