  • @HawkAussie: Almost three weeks since this review was initiated. What is the state of this nomination? MWright96 (talk) 17:08, 6 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Lead edit

  • Le Mans Prototype is a duplicated link in the third paragraph as there is already one in the first paragraph.
  • The second-placed car was Richard Lietz and Michael Christensen's Porsche Team Manthey 911 RSR - Noticed that compared to the rest of the lead, this has the drivers before the car and not the other way round.

Entry list edit

  • Their G-Drive Racing team, which won four races in 2014... - Why isn't G-Drive Racing team not linked here.
  • SMP Racing is a duplicate link with the one in the second paragraph. Also Porsche Team Manthey, Aston Martin Racing and Manthey Racing has duplicate links that was further up in that paragraph.

Preview edit

  • No issues here

Practice edit

  • ...before teammate Benoît Tréluyer's sister No. 7 entry ended as the... - Needs a little bit more clear cut there
  • ...off the slippery track and into Copse corner's gravel trap. - Is there meant to be a reference at the end of this sentence?

Qualifying edit

  • ...which his co-driver Hartley improved on in clear air, with a 1 minute,... - there needs to be a comma or something to split that.
  • in fifth were 3+1⁄2 seconds slower... - shouldn't be that something like 3.5 seconds or something like that.
  • ...gave Aston Martin first to third in class in the team's... - Probably something like they were top three in class instead of having it from first to third.

Race edit

  • Forty-one minutes in the first full course yellow... - That is missing either a comma or a couple of words to make this flow better. Maybe something like "Forty-one minutes in, the first full yellow..."
  • With that same sentence, maybe split that into two sentences instead of one long one.
  • Several drivers in the top categories... - It's not quite clear on what categories we are talking. I assume this is about LMP1 and LMP2 but it's not clear.
  • Racing resumed in the 46th minute with Webber... - Maybe change it to only have it as a time difference between when it was a yellow flag and when it restarted.
  • ...because it was on an... - Shouldn't this be "because they were on an..."
  • ...used his being delayed by Danny Watts... - Confused on where this section was going.
  • in avoidance hitting a thin plastic - Needs a comma between avoidance and hitting
  • corner to pass Lieb for third three - Add a comma after third.
  • at the front of the car and Jarvis overtook it. - Wouldn't it be easier to split the two so it ends at the front of the car and then say that Jarvis passed them.
  • ...and then took up fuel. - Remove the word up here.
  • ...is a six-our sprint race. - Missing the H

Final comments edit

Other than those minor things that need to be fixed, I reckon this would be good to go.
