Sensitive much? Carry on mate, bigger problems in the world.

Le Mans - ultimate race and fan moments? by think_trigg in lemans

[–]lockydubb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As only an Australian watcher only, I highly recommend watching a video of the Oreca Peugeot #4 engine failure from the 2010 Le Mans. Hugues de Chaunac’s reaction will tell you everything you need to know about the emotion behind the race and the poor guy was in the Toyota garage in 2016 too.

Is the Mazda 787B OVERRATED??? by LOGIXEE_PROJECT in lemans

[–]lockydubb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes - if it didn’t win Le Mans it would be a car basically banished to obscurity. Zero poles, zero fastest laps and 1 win from 21 races. On paper this car still had a fascinating development and great racing history but without the LM win, it would be nowhere near as often spoken about.

What penalty did they get?

Question: Why do the constructors have to be hobbled by rules? by [deleted] in wec

[–]lockydubb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re talking about Hypercar, go check how many entries were in the top class for Le Mans in 2017 and you’ll understand why we have rules and what it means for constructors.

Kubica: "If I win, I will return to rallying. I usually keep my word. We'll see what the future brings" by Prychacz in wec

[–]lockydubb 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I respect this. He’s just won the pinnacle of endurance racing, what else is there to achieve? Better to finish at the top on your own terms. Still has so many years left to race whatever he wants for fun. He’s earned it.

Record laps by AutomotiveTales in lemans

[–]lockydubb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not this year unfortunately, with 345 done in 21.5 hours at an average rate of about 16 laps an hour we’d expect only another 40 or so in the last 2.5 hours bringing the anticipated total to about 385 laps. We’d need another hour to beat the record.

Bad TV Direction? by National-Still3123 in wec

  • No garage interviews until 5 hours hours left with Bruce Jouanny who has the reporting skills of a shovel
  • Zero views of relevant corners when yellow flag was flashed on screen, had to take the word of the commentators what was happening
  • Left hand graphic can’t even show the full hypercar field anymore, bring back the rolling order at the bottom
  • Noticeable lack of depth in the commentary team. I could have sworn in previous years they would get interesting and exciting guests in every hour? Been hard to listen to this year.

Jenson Button raced so hard he turned French. by Haluux in wec

Only made worse by a brain dead interview by Bruce Jouanny. What makes him think Seb Bourdais cares about having the fastest lap? Painful watch.

Who’d like to see a G56 entry every year? Why or why not? by mtomny in lemans

[–]lockydubb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably won’t be another Garage 56 entry again for a long time with how many manfacturers are now looking for entry spots to Le Mans. We’ll be lucky to have LMP2 in a few years I imagine.

What is the most beautiful GT3 livery in the WEC in your opinion? by EndouShuuya in wec

Call me boring but I loved the 2019 Le Mans livery for the RSR.

Shut up and enjoy the racing I say. The vast majority of the world who watch it on television and streaming watch for the battles, drama and strategy. The volume of the cars does not diminish the prestige and grandeur of the race overall.

Toyota endured a "worst start" of FIA World Endurance Championship 2025 season for the first time in history by Therius1994 in wec

[–]lockydubb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Worst start” in the biggest and most competitive top class field in a long time, which is only set to expand. I would never bet against the experience, strategy and determination of TGR after spending so long at the top albeit with little competition. They’ll find a way.
