It's a great race. Until now the top hybrids are insanely reliable. I wonder if we'll see a new overall distance record.

I think Nissan can take this home, just 80 laps behind the current leader..

How are they gonna find 20 seconds per lap.

Possibly a switch to electric drive instead? I imagine experienced engineers would be easier to find.

Porsche seems to have sealed it, Audi totally resignated at this point.

Toyota looking sad out there, they need to regroup in a big way, quite lucky that Nissan is "overshadowing" their failure.

And to think Mclaren blocked Alonso from being in that 19.

At this rate, they're not going to break the distance record.

Hats off to the corvette guys in GTE Pro. Quite impressive. I'm more of a Porsche guy so it's a bit disappointing to see them down on the leader boards in both GTE classes. Looks like we might get some rain before this thing is over!!!

Hulk will have to deal with the slow zone and possible rain :twisted:

Edit: Congratulations Hulk, great drive. Who cares whatever happens next week in Austria, he won Le Mans.
Awesome, awesome performance by Porsche.
