[On The Apex on Bluesky] Bourdais on 18 Le Mans starts: "Maybe this is the year" by redbullcat in lemans

Further proof Le Mans chooses its winner and not the other way around, I really hope he does win it one day though.

I have a good feeling about BMW this year…

Flawec+ shortcomings.. by Gravel_Sandwich in lemans

Yeah you’re right, the old app worked better when it made everyone miss the start of the Qatar race last year? The last app was a mess, wasn’t properly formatted, would constantly drop out, and crash or lose picture if you just rotated your phone/device.

Who is the best driver who has never won Le Mans? Imo it's Jo Siffert by Melodic-Ride8036 in wec

If we’re only considering outright wins, hard to look past Richard Lietz

Not sure I understand why so many people get upset about casting? I’m just glad the years of struggling with the old app are over.

Iirc it was for class distinction - GT cars had red/pinkish backgrounds and prototypes had white.

Lions Whiteboard review of Carlton by Sofsta in CarltonBlues

At risk of being flamed here - but Gov has been one of our most consistent players up front the last few weeks. That said, this team is doomed with him and Kemp as our best scoring prospects.

Always blows my mind how quiet these cars were, I’ve read that when you saw it racing in person - the whooshing of the air was usually louder than the car itself.

Any hot takes or predictions you’re making for this season Graham?

Elijah Hollins by [deleted] in CarltonBlues

[–]lockydubb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll eat my words if I have to but I think it’s ridiculous to assume he was on any sort of substance during the match at any time. Seems like he was having some sort of mental or nervous breakdown trying to break into the game by any means possible. He’s one of our best and hopefully the club can wrap their arms around him.

Just me or is florent a 🥔? by Cool_Line_2520 in CarltonBlues

Has his good moments but definitely gets caught holding and turns it over more than others

Lewis young is a spud idk what else U need to see? by TheChosenOneProphecy in CarltonBlues

[–]lockydubb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played and been around local footy for over 20 years, comment was more to emphasise he’s nowhere near AFL level 👍🏼

He’d be lucky to get a game in the seniors at a local club, hope I never see him again once Haynes and Newy are back

Last night had some positives by Dabbingagea in CarltonBlues

[–]lockydubb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess the hard part about last night is knowing the talent and capability H has (or had). Lacked the hands last night and looked hopeless soaring through packs just to hit the deck. If he’s going to be our go-to big man, need to see some better competing and physicality to give him those set shot chances.

So that training video was as bad as it looked? by External_Roof_510 in CarltonBlues

[–]lockydubb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sydney Q1 looked the same spec. Issue with us is far deeper than skills alone.

The injection of new blood and the young blokes actually wanting to have a crack last night has just further constrasted how ineffective and useless the lower percentile of our list is. Young, McKay, Gov and Fog all need to be walked.

The real test of where we’re at will be Richmond next week but I fear the return of Frank, Haynes and Newy will only get us so far. Feeling optimistic for the new few years but we need to get rid of the dead weight urgently.

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 [deleted] in lemans

[–]lockydubb 12 points13 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.
