If Ferrari pull this off when does AF Corsa lose their strategy guys to the F1 team.... 50 car in the garage trying to find a leak at about 16:7 min the leading car, a red one left the pits with new tires and immediately put it into the gravel. had the race stayed green he woulda lost a lap. But it didn't, as for another local yellow a car, maybe #66 took out the 7 toyota and at least 2 others. Because of all that, the ferrari in the gravel didn't go a lap down. If ya can't be good, be lucky. And the announcers never talked about it. :-) I think I got that fiasco right.

With the car that went off ahead did they confirm if there was fluid on the track?

A Porsche is running out of parts. They're using parts from a retired car. :-) Wonder what the captain thinks about that.

The Sky Sports guys could learn a lot from this announcing crew, most importantly stop the damn shouting!

Watching the night time pit stops - I can now see why LeMans mandate that fueling and tire changes be performed separately - occasionally saw a lot of spark coming wheel nut/impact driver interface - only takes a spark to light a gasoline fire. Noticed with the Cadillacs the some body plugged in a small bottle of 'something' adjacent to the fuel fill, after the fueler completed his duties. WTF?

Multiple Parts Impounded from Hypercar Entries, LMP2 WinnerParts from six cars, including Hypercar and LMP2 class-winners, impounded by FIA, ACO…Multiple parts have been confiscated from five Hypercar class entries as well as the LMP2 class-winning No. 34 Inter Europol Competition Oreca 07 Gibson following post-race scrutineering at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Confirmed in a technical delegates report issued on Monday evening, the final results of the centenary edition of the French endurance classic is subject to “final checks of parts collected at the event” from the six cars. Per the report, parts were taken from the No. 2 Chip Ganassi Racing Cadillac V-Series.R, No. 5 Penske Porsche 963, No. 8 Toyota GR010 Hybrid, No. 51 AF Corse Ferrari 499P, No. 93 Peugeot 9X8 and the No. 34 Inter Europol Competition Oreca. The Inter Europol Competition car, which crossed the line first in class in the hands of Albert Costa, Fabio Scherer and Jakub Smiechowski, was the only LMP2 car to have had parts impounded. No parts were taken from any of the GTE-Am entries. Eyewitness reports at Le Mans on Monday indicated that the Polish-flagged team’s car remained in the scrutineering bay for hours, with a large amount of the car torn apart. The FIA has yet to announce the findings, if any, of its investigation. “As a part of the technical scrutineering process, parts from a number of cars have indeed been collected and sealed for further checks of their compliance with technical regulations in the most optimal conditions and using the best available tools,” a FIA spokesperson told Sportscar365. “As part of the process, the results of the investigations will be presented to the Stewards in the final report prepared by the FIA’s and the ACO’s Technical Delegates. “Sporting equity and technical compliance are in the center of attention of the FIA and the ACO as the regulatory bodies of FIA World Endurance Championship.” An Inter Europol Competition spokesperson has yet to return Sportscar365’s inquiry on the matter. sportscar365.com/lemans/wec/multiple-parts-confiscated-from-hypercar-entries-lmp2-class-winner/?fbclid=IwAR2OaiQFrCBHTFmV_R1GO-E7bD2DaWpINhqAm9GJ_dvj9viob_RcyKy8I9g
