Its pretty easy to find the way out on a video knowing what is going to happen. Completely different in real life. I’ve missed some stuff, and managed to ride over other. But yeah, I’d like to think I’d fare better, but, who knows. ..and frankly if people don’t think they could get caught by surprise and wreck from it…

“ I can’t second guess what it looked like from his perspective.” Exactly, thanks for that. Its easy to make the “right” choice watching a video when you know what is about to happen.

I think LeBlanc is just flat. Even pre top gear, in interviews and stuff he is just a complete void of medicated tranquillity.

“sabine looks interesting and capable” ?! Turn in your jalopnik card. Unless you meant, Sabine is awesome and top gear would be fine if it were just Sabine Gear.

Grant uses a digital tire gauge, not an imprecise analog one, before each performance to ensure no tire is off by 1.5psi. So there is no risk of loosing control of the car.

because 3 wasn't bad enough, now it's just a mockery

Really, you are surprised by this?

Yeah, if only their car had broken down a few hundred feet sooner, or if he had just driven a bit slower. Come on. Ridiculous. I have no problem with them not having won, but the not being classified is complete bullshit.

I know you find that line to be clever, but the Toyota did cross the finish line. So it did do 24 hours.

No, it wouldn’t be like jalopnik doing that. And why would you buying an ak47 assault machine gun piss me off?

I was cool with Porsche winning. It devastatingly sucked for Toyota, but stuff happens, and Porsche had been running right there with them. It was placing them 45th which was just awful, sad, and infuriating.

Yes but it should have been, Porsche, Toyota, Toyota. That cool down lap thing was bs.

Not sure its my best memory but one from when I was really little...there was a moment when my dad was changing the oil and lubing the car and I was wondering why cars weren’t made like boats. My “reasoning” being water doesn’t get into boats, but oil and lube gets out of cars. Make cars like reverse boats and the oil…

Thats an interesting interpretation. (really) But, I don’t think its applied in a way that suggests one should wreck the car.

Blah blah blah, common parlance.

I don’t know...track limits isn’t imposed, that I know of, if its out of the drivers control. And it has to give an advantage. He ran off through the gap to avoid hitting the barriers, and got no advantage from it. And when he rejoined, he basically rejoined at the same place. (So it wasn’t a case of running off and…

I love you “it’s not an assault rifle!” guys. I really do. In fact I now refer to them as assault rifles and machine guns just to piss you all off.

Yeah but cruel beauty of racing didnt rob them of a second place finish. A bullshit cool down lap decision did.

The FIA WEC app was $9.99 for me, I’m pretty sure. And its just worth it. You can pull it up on up to five devices. The coverage is great, the commentary good enough, lots of little bonus tidbits and its no fuss. I just buy it every year now even if I have another source I think to watch it from, it’s just too handy.
