Huge props to the WEC for restarting. We came for 6 hours, and they delivered with 6 hours. I hope to see more of this in the furture

Thank you, Freitas and WEC! Gave us the full race and full content we paid for. 🎉 What a rollercoaster!

Great decision, it meant we got 6 hours of racing. Great weather and the crowd clearly loved it. One of the few decisions thinking of the fans above everyone else. How does this work going forward? If we have a 2 hour stoppage in Le Mans, are they going to extend it to get the full 24hrs? With the commercial side, plus the ceremonies at the end, I’d be surprised. I’d love if this was the standard going forward. It’s a huge improvement on the 2021 F1 race, which shafted the fans.

@Robintalesfighter Ай бұрын

Le mans never has these type of long stopages. They've had these type of barrier repairs there many times in the past, usually using slow zones for part of the track, you'd probably need several of these crashes at several places around the track, at the exact same time, for it to be even considered

Fan boy painful, (silly).. This is an endurance race. This is not an F1 race. The endurance race lasts 6 hrs. Not 1-2 hrs, Because anything can happen. This race will include additional time. or continue from the original time. Porsche still wins. Because of the restart after the red flag. All cars in front of Porsche 12,6. must enter the pit even though there were only 20 minutes left in the match. So the endurance race. Competition therefore changes all the time. If you can't accept the results, then you don't have to watch.

SUSPENSION OF THE RACE Should it become necessary to suspend the race because the circuit is blocked by an accident or because weather or other conditions make it dangerous to continue, the Race Director will order red flags to be shown at all marshal posts and the abort lights to be shown at the start line. When the signal to suspend the race is given, overtaking is prohibited, the pit entry and exit will be closed, and all drivers must drive their cars slowly to the red flag line, where they will be lined up in single file. The safety car will be placed in front of the cars lined up behind the red flag line. While the race is suspended, neither the race nor the timekeeping will be halted. Driving time during a red flag period will not be counted and the stewards will confirm updated driving times before the restart of the race. If the circumstances so require, the Stewards may take the decision to stop and/or modify the race time. Only officials are allowed on the grid. The drivers may leave their cars (but must not move away from them) and remove their helmets and gloves. Driver changes are prohibited. As Parc Fermé rules apply to all the cars, no repairs are authorised in the pits. unless if you want to speak the moment when they change the positions of the drivers , that's not great , it's from the rules and need to change honestly

@sergiogiacomosammartano7623 Ай бұрын

Overall, I'm happy that they restarted the race for the fans. Though I didn't quite understand the tyres change thing before restart, without allowing refueling (was it parc fermé or not?). It felt a tiny bit like Abu Dhabi 2021... maybe some future tweaks in the rulebook are needed for such cases. Ferrari weren't the only team who got a disadvantage from this restart, some teams in the GT3 class got screwed as well. But overall an interesting race. Shame it took so long to fix a damaged wall, I think they could have done a lot better there.

@alexstrange5707 Ай бұрын

@@fayyadguissida lmp1 had a lack of cars because it had no bop?! REALLY?! I thought it's because lmp cars were very expensive not many manufacturers wanted to spend so much money. And you favour that bop so much, explain what's the point of this shit if it DOESN'T WORK. Ferrari had on of the heaviest and least powerful car and still 2 out of 3 cars are in top 5. Porsche also hadn't lot if power and wasn't lightest, but all the cars that finished the race finished in top 5. And they were able to fight caddilac who had the best bop in this race. This bop only works when maFIA tries to slow down weak teams such as peugeot. Porsche and ferrari, as i said, don't give a shit to bop, they always have s chance to win/get podium just because they have more cars than others. Porsche has 5 cars out of 19. 25% of the field are porsches. So Porsche has 80% chance to win the race, ferrari 19% and 1% for other teams just because there is so many porsche and ferrari. And your "bop" can't do a shit to it. Only can slow down teams with lack of cars. Imsa is much more interesting even if it has 10 cars against 19 in wec. But in imsa every team has 2-3 cars so every team has equal chances to win. And... in lmp1 era all the teams had 2-3 cars. No one had an advantage because of amount of cars and still there was a great battles despite lack of cars!
