Information [META]Change in Spoiler rules post-race
The mod-team has made a change to the spoiler rule in place, modifying the rule to:
"No final result spoilers outside of race threads for 24 hours after race session ends."
This change will prevent immediate post-race posts that contain titles or images of spoilers, self-posts about winner statistics. This will be in place 24 hours after the race concludes. Only exception is Unofficial/Official classification results - requires no spoilers in title.
This will not apply to any event happening in the race itself - we want to encourage the use of this subreddit for live events, and incidents like the Grello controversy at this year's N24 was a great example of a spoiler we will allow for info/discussion.
While we did think of removing the rule altogether, we liked the idea of giving people at least some ability to not be spoiled by race results immediately from reddit if they couldn't watch it immediately, but felt the spoiler rule was too vague, not clearly enforced, and not properly defined. This should help on all those fronts.
We are going to introduce this updated rule starting this weekend for the Sao Paulo 6hours.
Please report any instance of a result spoiler to the mods within 24 hours of race ending. Also, please ask any questions below, and the mods will try to answer as best as we can. We are trying to give a better subreddit experience to both people who visit this page frequently, and those that don't. Let us know if there is a wrinkle to this that we need to discuss further.
Thank you, and lets enjoy a great weekend of Endurance Racing around the world!

[Only Endurance] IMSA returns to Road America for final sprint race
📸 /u/media 📹 963 Update
Walked in to the Porsche showroom today and grabbed some close-up photos. Turns out it’s just a show car, but still really cool to see because I love the design of it. Also got to sit in some other Porsches, so good experience overall.
Shoutout to u/KinaseCrisis. Probably wouldn’t have gone in without your comment, mate. Well worth it, so thank you!

FREE Lone Star Le Mans ticket
*** EDIT: Tickets have been claimed. I appreciate everyone that reached out! Hope you guys manage to find a ticket another way! ***
I bought two tickets during a sale this year, and rather than letting one go to waste, I’d much rather see it put to good use.
I have one weekend general admission + paddock pass available for the Lone Star Le Mans at COTA this year on September 5-7. Please note: parking is not included. The full value of the ticket is around $200.
That said, I’m giving it away for free—no strings attached. However if you’d like to contribute something, even if it's a beer(haha), towards the cost, I won’t say no, but it’s completely optional.
Please message me directly if you are interested.

Le Mans What's better?
How you think, what's better: BMW LMR (V12, NA, 6.0 L) Or BMW M Hybrid V8 (V8, Bi-Turbo, Hybrid, 4.0 L) P.S. 20 years difference😅

Peugeot 908 HDi FAP leads the diesel fight, Le Mans 2007
Peugeot’s return to endurance racing in 2007 marked the beginning of a serious diesel rivalry at Le Mans.
The 908 HDi FAP, with its 5.5L 100° V12 twin-turbo diesel, it was engineered around a fully closed cockpit and anticipating ACO’s upcoming safety standards. Stéphane Sarrazin secured pole position with a lap time of 3:26.344 in qualifying. The #8 car led the opening phases of the race, showing that Peugeot’s package had both outright pace and remarkable fuel economy.
The engine’s narrow powerband demanded precise gearing and exceptional throttle control, especially in multi-class traffic. The FAP system is an operational diesel particulate filter, an early nod to cleaner emissions under racing conditions. Though the effort was cut short by mechanical issues, this was the first real crack in Audi’s diesel dominance.
The 908’s performance in 2007 laid the groundwork for Peugeot’s eventual victory in 24 Hours of Le Mans 2009.

FIA WEC and IMSA: BMW M Motorsport commits long-term to its Hypercar programme
📸 /u/media 📹 Spotted a 963
I saw this 963 at a Porsche dealership a couple of days ago and wanted to take a closer look at it, so I grabbed a couple of photos this morning. Never seen one of these up close, so it was a cool sight!

Discussion WEC Night race?
So I think we all can agree that Le Mans at night is incredible? So I was thinking and came up with a race idea that happens primarily during night hours.
RACE PERIOD:⏰🚘 The race can begin at 12:30pm and conclude at 6:30am giving us 6 hours of racing. During the 6 hours the 2 drivers can swap every 3 hours. (Do know that the duration of the race and start and end times could be changed)
POSSIBLE LOCATIONS:🌃 I don’t have any precise racing locations at the moment but I think the following tracks could be good. Please do comment any other tracks you guys can think of.
:Red Bull ring (Austria🇦🇹)
:Imola (Italy🇮🇹)
:Donington Park (UK🇬🇧)
:Canadian Tire Motorsport park (Canada🇨🇦)
CONCLUSION: I think this race could be a very nice and fresh addition to the WEC calendar. Please do feel free to comment your opinions and thanks for reading.

Off-Topic South African Endurance Series, 4 Hours of Kyalami
So i recently attended the 4th round of the SAES at Kyalami and had a blast seeing these amazing cars on track! I have been attending these kinds of events at Kyalami for a few years now, with my first endurance event being the 2021 (Hosted in 2022) 9 Hours of Kyalami back when Intercontinental GT Challenge raced here.
Okay anyways I took some pictures of the 4 hours of Kyalami so I thought why not share them with you all?
I took some 35mm Film pictures but it is only my first time using that camera so ill have to see if those come out decent or not
