Cameras need to stay with the action nobody wants to watch the wining car going slow at the end when others are still racing, show that after everyones done.
What a 24 hour journey. Watch it during late night workouts and pulling all nighters for school. Loved every minute (not including the safety cars and slow zones)
agreed - it drives me so nuts how much racing coverage shows the pits in general, pit stops are cool and the occasional shot def is good for emotional context but for god's sake show the RACE!
@@judahsoremy9857 Give props to Jordan Taylor. His Corvette racing creds are impeccable, and he's a massively talented driver, like Magnussen. I suspect it came down to Magnussen's workload. He'd just done a very long (and amazing) stint that morning, and all teams were rotating their drivers out rapidly in that heat.
@@beenaplumber8379 Magnussen is an incredibly talented driver, I just saw the way, Antonio Garcia had been driving at this point and thee only person that could beat, Antonio Garcia at this stage was, Antonio Garcia.
The 24 hours of Le Mans....24 hours of people staring at tv screens people sleeping in the pits and Pitstops....But dont show the race, that would be doing what the audience wants
Race after race, that Michelin Man creeps me out! Go away! Get out of my nightmares! 0:48 You can't pass in a pit lane, can you? A pit lane that's under yellow flag? Where there are marshals and mechanics in the traffic lanes?
@@Ewane Wow, I'm surprised by that. Thanks for the clarification. I only know the rule on the track in F1 (which I think is the same in WEC) that says you can pass on the track under caution if the car is "obviously" struggling at a slow speed (which this car was), but it's not specific about how slow that is, and I don't remember reading how they handle such things in the pit lane. It surprises me that they didn't require a marshal's wave-by in this case, as it happened right at the incident location. (Well, it was the incident.) I'm glad I'm not the one who has to know all these rules and tell my driver what's ok. I have so much respect for drivers and their engineers. I know that's part of racing, and teams make mistakes with the rules, especially if they've moved from one series to another, like an IMSA team racing at Le Mans.
Yeah the Aston Martin touched the Corvette on the left rear. Puncture was at the front. Seems legit that Corvette was robbed... Stupid. Corvette lost the race from a puncture. Not from an Aston Martin move.
@@honda900000 The impact with the Aston at Arnage was side-to-side, and it was on the Corvette's left. That might have started a slow leak. Technically, I think that was the Aston's fault for an unsafe re-entry to the track. JT kept 2 wheels on the track, but the Aston was completely off, and he crashed his way back on. Not unreasonable in those circumstances, but I think technically that impact can be ascribed to the Aston. Whether it caused the puncture, I dunno. JT abused his tires pretty badly during that stint. He munched a lot of kerb.
@@beenaplumber8379 No. Only a little touch at the left rear even when its look sight to sight... The tyres were just gone at the end of the race. The Aston Martin dive was a pretty hard move which could end in the gravel for the Aston Martin aswell.
What a race! P1 was a race of attrition, P2 had its moments of excitement but GTE Pro was just a phenomenal race from start to finish!
GTE Pro is the reason I watch. All other categories just kind of fuse into one.

I was there that year, and I tell you, the excitement of the Corvette/Aston battle was real. Everyone was going crazy!
so were we. still watch this bit of the race
I was just in front of the finish line when the Aston martin passed the corvette, the crowd was going crazy in fact
Great race! Thank you WEC for posting this on UA-cam! Watched all 24h :)
All 24 for me as well. Thank you WEC for publishing all this content for free online!
RIP #63 Corvette...
Thank you so much, FIA WEC..
Epic race, thanks FIA WEC. Criminal video footage cutting all the battles.
Thanks to WEC and to Nicki Thiim for making me a huge fan of Endurance racing"
hell yeah Nicki Thiim!!
10:56 greatest slow mo ever!!!!
Yep
ditto. all 24+ Thank you FIAWEC.
I remember this race. This was the first Le Mans I’ve watched on live tv
finally finished watching this superb Le Mans!!
GTE Pro battle for the lead was monumental
Epic Race!
Took 3 months to watch this but boy was this a banger of a race. Race hour 11 and 12 were crazy!
All 24H !
What a 24 hour journey. Watch it during late night workouts and pulling all nighters for school. Loved every minute (not including the safety cars and slow zones)
Watching the race is more important than watching the celebrations... Ending footage was terrible!
agreed - it drives me so nuts how much racing coverage shows the pits in general, pit stops are cool and the occasional shot def is good for emotional context but for god's sake show the RACE!
Could not agree more can we wait!!!! until the race is over????
thanks
¡Grande Timo, aguante Porsche! Never give up!
Some sad Corvette fan disliked this
59:38 I think shes happy
The vettes sounded like thunder ⛈...the aston got lucky the 63 vette had a puncture
me gusta el oreca 07 gibson dragonspeed numero 21
anyone else think someone was hiding in the forest with something to puncture the corvette tire?
Why would they take magnussen out?!
Puffstuff23 I don't know, but truthfully I'd rather have Antonio Garcia finishing.

Beena Plumber you can if a car is below the pit speed limit

This is how Toyota does when they have real competition
Terrible end of race coverage... pathetic announcing also.
Chevy got robbed
Moflyboy Blanquito his own fall watch carefully he gets the damaged by running wide into the Aston when the Aston dives him
Anthony Hague Watch it again. The Aston Martin knew he went wide and cut back inside knowing the Corvette had the right line.
