My suggestion of the 787B on today’s QOTD has turned into a shitshow between random people regarding the fact that I intially posted a picture of the wrong car. And then it turned into a typical internet comment section.
*WARNING: Mom jokes inside*
Go ahead and visit the thread. It’s worth the read.

Is that 787B as in the Boeing airliner, or something else?

21 races, 1 win. I’d say that’s a failure.

Without Vlan1 you wouldn’t have much going on here. I think you might have gotten trolled while trolling.

That’s a 4.7% success rate.

I’ll take everything but 4.7% of your salary and you let me know how successful you are.

Grammar nitpick:
Someone said it won Le Mans, then you responded it won one time out of 21 attempts.
It did not run Le Mans 21 times.

It won once out of 21 races.

I wasn’t trolling, the 787B wasn’t very successful.

“It won Le Mans, though.”
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
“One time, out of 21 attempts.”
The way this is written, “attempts” refers to “Le Mans,” not all races.
A more accurate response would be, “That was the one race it won out of the 21 it ran.”
Like I said, I’m nitpicking.

meh, with all due respect, you’re still an idiot. especially if youre trolling.
claiming it
only
has a 4.7% ‘success rate’ kind of ignores all the endurance cars that have never won.

If my race car only had a 4.7% success rate, I’d call it a failure, because why the fuck would I spend more money on a car that only wins 4.7% of the time?
![]() 06/09/2015 at 16:19 |

k. If my race car won the 24 hours of LeMans I’d call it the biggest fucking success of my life and drop it in every conversation until my dying breath.

If you got 4.7% on a test, did you pass?

The McLaren MP4/5 only won 50% of it’s races.
FAIL.

32 races, 16 wins, 27 poles.
VS the 787B:
21 races, 1 win, 0 poles.

Dude calls you an idiot for making a simple and common mistake (hell, I can’t tell the difference at first either) but has a typo when ripping you a new one. Fixes typo and acts like it’s no big deal and continues to insult you.
Yup, FP

Le Mans 24h is the race. Those other not-Le-Mans-24h races are just practice for Le Mans.
Making a win that is followed by outlawing with a rule change make it the ultimate win.

No, but it make a notable position most of the time, where the 787B only did it once.

Right, which is one more time than 99% of endurance racers.

I agree with you, it wasn’t really a good race car. It has a fairly dismal record. The funny thing is, it won it’s only race because it was reliable, mazda de-tuned the hell out of the engine, and all the other C2 class cars almost all had engine problems thanks to the new 3.5 L regs
