I started rewatching at one point saw a mechanic fall off a skateboard after holding onto the back of a dodge viper coming into pits. Still have no idea why or how it happened

[@doubleT84]

That wasn't a mechanic, that was Titus "father of the German skateboarding scene" Dittman, one of the drivers in said Dodge Viper (his) and head of the team.

It really was amazing

[@Gamer_Live_Studio]

He just pulled the initial D if he wasn't paying attention you have to realize this what he did was legendary but there was so many factors that led him to be able to pass for one there was another driver on the right side of the track so he knew in front of him his opponent will be blocking from the left so what he did was before that will happen he was trying to close in the gap just enough time to swerve out and put his two wheels on the grass knowing that is going to be a long straight away so he basically locking in the steering wheel tight with very little movement and he made sure that not all of his car weight is on the grass if he did he would have crashed for sure so what he did was he just put two tires on there just enough to squeeze on by and accelerate but he didn't stepped on it for sure he did a gradual step there was he sees his opponent slides out the way he went in full throttle and put his two wheels back on the pavement and took flight leaving him not to crash without that straight away it would not be possible it'll be very difficult but he knew that it was going to be a long straight away with very little movement he just took the opportunity and closing the gap that's the reason why he passed without slipping out of control if he were to put his whole car mostly on the grass then he will most likely crash and slip out of control that's why he kept those two tires on that track pavement and most of the car body weight on there so he's able to just bring back the car right back on the road is an amazing move don't get me wrong a pro driver can do it even I know them and I can do it you just got to wait for the right place at the right time.

[@devontoms7936]

If I’m not mistaken the defending was illegal as soon as he moved over the second time. He moved left, showed sign of leveling off, then moved left as soon as the 911 made a move. I thought you were only allowed to make one defensive move (move left or right) then its all up to the cars and drivers.

[@gaetmin6539]

It's GT racing x) And the Mercedes lets a place to the Porsche, not like Piana with Rast. So for me it's hard racing, but it's racing

[@EugVR6]

I Managed about 6 to 8 hours on and off, of the N24 on live stream this year, there is no better endurance race in the world than the N24 and yet Le Mans gets the hype and Glamour for some reason. The N24 has a far superior circuit, 160 cars on the grid and tge range of cars are from the 1970s to 2019 GT3 and has far far less room on track for lesser drivers. Dare I say it but its a real Man's race with little interference from the rules and its all the better for it and before anyone moans about my man's race comment, I know there were women racing as well.

[@doubleT84]

It simply is the best track for endurance racing. The one and only purpose build endurance racing track. Even one lap is worth the word "endurance".

[@mesterorange8181]

The mercs werent with such a good top speed even though they were tuff to overtake cause even being 'old' gt3s they still pretty competitive... so it's a great overtake from Porsche guy

Agree 100%. Making that block (exaggerating his own overtaking manouver "as an excuse") at 276 km/h, Müller takes the whole situation beyond "rules of the sport". BTW if that move is allowed, then the rules should be changed in my opinion. Estre got the pass and the glory. Amazing move!

It takes some serious stones to put two wheels off to make the pass, but in most cases when you are committed you execute the move.
