Eurosport night commentators were on some drugs, I'm positive about that. Among many "brilliant" things they said I especially love how one of them was not persistent that Bratislava is in Slovenia instead of Slovakia, even after he was corrected (via Twitter) multiple times 😅 That was after ARC Bratislava's crash.

Another thing was all that giggling and later full-blown laughing for every single crash out there! It was, apparently, hilariously funny that Peugeot had many problems with overheating after reaching 400 kph back in 1988, but that's nowhere near all that laughter for each crash out there yesterday. LOL!

LMP is supposed to be getting 50 more HP for 2019-20... which means they will be breaking the 3:30 a lap times as well...

I felt really bad for Nicki Thiim and the rest of the Aston Martin team. The last minute BoP adjustments sucked and then the crashes were really heartbreaking. Ah yes, you are right. I watched the official video right now and the commentator said how minimum target time is 3:30 average per lap. My previous info was from Reddit where I read that 3:30 is their limit.

AMR and Nicki... I feel bad about 'em 😔 Excellent qualifications, great start and at the time of my yesterday's post here, about how they're doing fine, they were around P5 to P7. Then it all went downhill. Same as both Corvettes and also the leading #92 Porsche. Even my favourite Dempsey-Proton #77 had some massive problems after leading the whole race, meh.

It could also be that the dynamic range of the on board cameras make the externals look darker because either they would need to make the background correct and blow out the bright reflected light, or lose the background and make the lit objects visible.

How is it on iRacing when they do the 24 Hour race? Hm, it makes sense. But even if it can't go full dark it can be quite darker (for example, Nurburgring in RR3 is pretty dark, same with Hockenheim).

In iRacing it's very dark 😊
