FULL RACE | 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps 2015

5:00:41 reaction of the girl who wears blue jacket is priceless. Don't get me wrong but this was the best overtaking manouver EVER in the racing history. If you have ever driven in Spa sim or IRL, you know outside is always dirty and when you stay away from the apex into that corner, it's impossible to make next corner properly. Pinnacle of endurance racing. Simply amazing.

Super cool to post an instant classic from the past. LMP1's at this time were SOOO good. Hopefully the FIA add some pace to hypercar because they are kind of lacking.

[@jansonb482]

They need to reduce weight and let the teams add some downforce and weaken the impact of Bop. If Toyota sinply built the faster car then let them win instead having them to compete against a grandfathered lmp1 car.

Only because every loser manufacturer can enter and be lifted into competitive performance level by BoP. Technical challenge basically zero, general public interest accordingly.

@@coyy9106 Well, viewership numbers will prove you wrong. Apart from NASCAR where fans don't care if current tech or dinosaur tech crashes into something. The series with the most technological level have always been the most watched. Also technical challenge is why motorsports was invented in the first place and development costs are ok if the development means that something for research and production is learned.

[@slicktires2011]

@@armorgeddon Agreed, this is supposed to be the top prototype class in the world. And it worked well for many years. Also, LMP1 has only 2 car makers, Toyota and Glickenhaus. Alpine uses a modified LMP1 and the others are just promises for now.

@@slicktires2011 LMP1H worked for 3-4 years before costs and other factors killed the class. Hypercar will be an era with over half a dozen major manufacturers, customer cars, and sustainable costs.

yellow flags but cars can still go 200kmh through the corner?! I'm glad that we have FCY nowadays because that's really dangerous. also very unlucky for any prototypes getting stuck behind a GTE in that zone because the GTE would be allowed to go full speed but the prototype can not overtake and will be losing a lot of time compared to cars without traffic in that specific corner
