  • @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.
