Well, quite surprised they were in the top 30 because of two disqualifications ahead of them...who were they?

EDIT: I found one:

Now don't tell me the #11 car has been DQ-ed? It's no longer in the timing screen and has promoted #29 BMW up to 4th place.

Owkey, has been DQ-ed.

So Porshe should be out - he didn't stop before the line, he passed it 18s before the race finish... did SLS finish the one additional lap ? the one that he started just before the race finish ?

Officially it's a DQ, yes. He couldn't finished the lap he started 10 Seconds before the end.

^You were from when to when?
Make a thread and post pics, Vince and Marco

Nice race guys, second one was really good. First one was a question of car setup (rain friendly)

 

[terminator363]

Damn, I missed the end, but still managed to catch a lot of the race, what exactly happened in the end?

Edit:


Thumbs up if you remember this from Radio Le Mans in the morning!

[Roger the Horse]

I hope that's non-alcoholic beer

 

[poolhaas]

Here's a few of mine, first two are fellow GTP user Chris in action.

And the winner, tried a donut, stalled and had to be towed off

So how did Chris do? when I left last night he was top 30, how did he finished?

Was awesome racing you guys who joined in, 1st Race was good fun, Changing from tyres in the rain was a laugh

 

[GTPorsche]

The car didn't finish due to mechanical problems after 129 laps.

Not classified, got stuck on track at 14.00 ish CET

 

[turini]

I was up all the way until about 7 hours to go before I fell asleep...

Stingray lol - John Hindhaugh is amazing.. "Anything can happen in the next half hour"

Congrats to the #123 team, and to all the finishers of the race. Like all Endurance races, even finishing is a victory for many teams.

Nice work that guy made. 👍

Oh man! What a shame, that must be a real heartbrake for the whole team.
Chris it doesn't matter we are all proud of you and the great effort you put into this race! We will be here for you next year!

 

[Mac K]

On Radio Le Mans right now, is this a repeat?

 

[paskowitz]

I think the LFA team should be really happy. They dominated their class and placed really well overall. Last couple years they really struggled.

 

[poolhaas]

It is a real downer not to have seen Chris finish, he's a really nice guy who took the time to chatter a while after he woke up before his stint was coming up. I do still applaud his and the whole team's efforts these last few days 👍

Some more photos ready.
