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

No breakdowns and at that pace... unbelievable.

Obviously, they broke the qualyfying record and the fastest lap has been improve by 2 second since the second lap; the race distance is the next

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.

Has been a great race this.
WEC =D>

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

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

I assume because of the tyre limit?

Nico to finish the race in the car? Got everything crossed now.

There's been a couple long safety car periods.

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!!!

I would love to see some rain

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

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