Morning everybody,
Resumed a short while ago after longer break than anticipated, how good are the LMP2/ GTE battles

[Lazy B'stard]

Always nice to hear Hugh Chamberlain on RLM. Love to see him back with a team one day.

Can Porsche hold on? Is it time for another beer? Nice not to be thinking of the dash back to the ferry!

Plus an ad break every five minutes. However, have listened (and watched) the RLM commentary since the warm up on sat morning. Much better.

Just wondering who decided to put Webber in the Porsche when there is a race to win? Hartley would have been my choice. Driven brilliantly again.

As opposed to absolute wibble

They're more interested in themselves than the race

Constantly talking over the team radios  I've gotten too used to reasonable commentary on the Beeb

Never thought I'd ever say that

Shame about the 20 porker but a decent run for the return to la Sarthe

Oh well must be time for a cuppa

We it's better than nothing problem lies in the fact that the French management do not really care about the UK audience. I got the impression that there was a delay with the UK commentary hence the talk over. Best thing to do is to record it and fast forwarding through the adverts:)

Anyway you will be at the race next year so you will not have to worry about Eurosport!

Well - another year over. Have unplugged the laptop from the telly and about to cancel my eurosport player subscription.

Highlights for me were the LMP2 win for Jota, Brendon Hartley leading for while in the Porsche and last evening, being brought a small pot of Rillette for starter by a friend at their house for dinner. The beer was ice cold - if it had been slightly warmer could have perhaps imagined being in a field in France, (or maybe not).

It was the girl and the Irish fella that really peed me off, though they were changed out for the last couple of hours which was avast improement, very infantile and that I presume is without drink, not like us lot, well me anyway.

With regard to putting Webber in instead of Harrtley, I am sure that is purely for the PR angle just in case he did something useful. I think that Porsche should be prtty pleased with their outing also nice to see the Audi garage clapping the 14 car when it went out for the last couple of laps, and I do not think that was a PR stunt.
