# Talk:2019 24 Hours of Le Mans

@MWright96: the second paragraph of the post qualifying section needs clarification. It states that the Aston Martin received performance changes in the second sentence before contradicting itself in the thirf sentence. I also split the last sentence up, could you please check that it is still true? Thanks, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 11:28, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Reworded to state it was Aston Martin's LMGTE Am car that received no performance changes. MWright96 (talk) 11:51, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
Warm up section - I'm sure he didn't get a lap of 3 minutes. Did you forget the seconds? Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 11:32, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Yes, have now added the second part of Kobayashi's fastest warm-up time. MWright96 (talk) 11:51, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
@MWright96: The first quotation in the post race section has single brackets. Brackets adding information to a quote should be square (I believe), could you clarify and what's your opinion on this? Thanks, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 14:35, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

@Willbb234: Yes, per MOS:PMC, it should be in square brackets. I have no strong opinion on that particular subject. MWright96 (talk) 16:44, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

It is a crime that you've had to wait over six months for a review on this. I'll take this up. Should have comments up sometime this weekend. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 02:13, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

### Lead
"The round was the last in the 2018–19 FIA World Endurance Championship," is it worth mentioning in the lead that this was the second edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans to be run during that season?

"with 34 of the race's 60 entries contesting the series." I assume the rest are one-off entries or teams from a similar sports car series, but I think a bit more context here might help the reader. *As it is currently worded, it seems confusing; nearly half the field is taking part in the race, which is part of the series, so why are *they* not of the series?
Removed instead MWright96 (talk)


### Background
Link to Charles Faroux, who now has an article.

Also, "The race was proposed by the automotive journalist Charles Faroux" I'd suggest "The race was originally proposed in [year] by the automotive journalist Charles Faroux"

### Regulation changes
No issues, though I'd maybe consider an additional IC somewhere in the section (I know everything is referenced from the IC at the very end, but it might make it more clear).
Done MWright96 (talk) 18:45, 5 April 2020 (UTC)


### Entries
No issues


### Pre-race balance of performance changes
"to try and create parity within each category" -> "try to"
Done MWright96 (talk) 18:45, 5 April 2020 (UTC)


### Testing
"with a lap of 3 minutes and 21.875 seconds from Buemi late on" would prefer the sentence didn't end with a preposition
Removed MWright96 (talk) 18:45, 5 April 2020 (UTC)


### Practice
No issues
More to come later. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 16:54, 5 April 2020 (UTC)


### Qualifying
"Maldonado improved his best lap to a 3 minutes and 26.490 seconds" I don't think you need the "a" here.
Done MWright96 (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2020 (UTC)


#### Post-qualifying
"It reduced the Aston Martin's turbocharger boost across ever revolution per minute range" I'm not an expert in sports car technology but something doesn't seem right here...
Reworded the sentence MWright96 (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2020 (UTC)


#### Qualifying results
Is there a reason some teams are red linked while others have no links?
Not so sure, but Racing Team Nederland has an unpublished draft in the draftspace MWright96 (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2020 (UTC)


### Warm-up
"SMP's two cars of Vitaly Petrov and Stéphane Sarrazin were fourth and fifth." Not sure you need first names here since they've already been mentioned in the article per WP:SURNAME
Done MWright96 (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
Same with Estre.
Done MWright96 (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2020 (UTC)


### Race
#### Sunset to night
"Kobayashi increased the No. 7 Toyota's lead over Fernando Alonso to more than a minute due to minor underbody damage to the No. 8 entry" Do we know how the damage was sustained?
Unfortunately not. MWright96 (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2020 (UTC)


#### Morning to early afternoon
"After the safety cars were withdrawn, Ben Keating's Ford" link Ben Keating since it's the first mention of him after the lead
Done MWright96 (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
Roman Rusinov has already been mentioned so WP:SURNAME
Done MWright96 (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2020 (UTC)


#### Finish
A couple more WP:SURNAME instances here (Estre, Fraga, Keating)
Done MWright96 (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
"The Keating Ford of Jeroen Bleekemoen" -> Bleekemolen and WP:SURNAME
Done MWright96 (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
"The No. 7 Toyota's 339 laps lead was the most of any car." Should this be "were the most" since laps is plural?
Done MWright96 (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2020 (UTC)


### Post-race
"López said that he was emotional going to the pit lane to replace the Toyota's puncture" Perhaps "supposed" puncture (or a similar word) since it wasn't actually a puncture?
Added MWright96 (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
More WP:SURNAME throughout the section
Addressed when appropriate MWright96 (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
Images, external links, etc. all look good.
Only minor prose issues, will pass when these are fixed. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 21:40, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

@Bcschneider53: That should be everything that has been raised in this review addressed MWright96 (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
@MWright96: Nice work, Micheal, thank you for the quick responses. I'll go ahead and give this a pass. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:37, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
