I know it's not much, when you consider it's been over 22 hours, but I think it's over for Porsche. Unless something bad happens to Toyota of course

So far it's holding at that gap, maybe even getting bigger. I think Porsche will have to take full set of tires. Toyota may be able to make these last.

They have too, after all the year's of failure, they have to win.

I only ask out of morbid curiosity, but what could those dumb:censored:s be saying in defense of the BoP mess?

That's funny, I feel if it was solely Vette running and Ford wasn't there they wouldn't be saying that.

That playing the system well is okay, and that they were competing with Ferrari, and that it's just slightly unfortunate that Porsche, Corvette and Aston Martin were "left in the dust".I only ask out of morbid curiosity, but what could those dumb:censored:s be saying in defense of the BoP mess?
This has been a boring two horse race, the least entertaining GT class race...in history.
Two manufacturers who completely tooled the system so badly that they have pulled lap times 4 SECONDS FASTER, are being rewarded with this garbage of "a rivalry renewed after 50 years". 
There is no rivalry, none. The rivalry died in 1969, the world's moved on.Because if Ford weren't there, Ferrari might have been knocked back to the Aston/Porsche/Corvette becauss they'd be the only GTE trying to impersonate a GT1 car.

#2 changes tyres and driver. That's gives Toyota a choice. No tyres and take 20 seconds extra advantage (50 seconds) or match #2 with new tyres and except 30 second lead.
Edit. Stream quality makes me mistake an Audi for a Porsche. Man that's bad quality streaming!!!!

Plebs gonna pleb I suppose.
If Ford want an empty victory that much, they can have it. Maybe it'll move metal on the showrooms, which is what they're after obviously, but every race-fan will know and remember what happened here 👎. As far as history is concerned, this has been a pretty pathetic race with the artificial rivalry between Ford and Ferrari.

I think some of you need to learn that professional sport isn't about having a laugh. Loopholes exist. They get taken advantage of. If you don't play the game to bend the rules in your favour, you're not doing a good job as a team.
Ford and Ferrari have a job to do - that's win a race within the rules and generate brand exposure. The ACO have a job to do - to ensure the rules are fair and the racing is good. Ford and Ferrari did their job, the ACO didn't - you can't blame a manufacturer for doing their job.

Though what you say is quite reasonable, I'm a romantic. Sue me!
But yeah, basically the ACO is at fault here. Ford is taking advantage of it, obviously they only care about winning, but the ACO must assure that us fans get a good show, we don't care about who wins but rather HOW it wins.
They should really sit down with the teams and decide: "Ok, you wanna go all-out? Alright, let's go all out and only BoP GTE-AM. You wanna keep playing with BoP? Then don't try to fool the :censored:ing BoP!".

Fingers crossed that Toyota can win the race. Ever since Toyota has joined the WEC and I have started following Le Mans, I've been rooting for Toyota. Perhaps it's because Toyota has always been the underdog, or because I've grown tired of seeing Audi winning. Anyway, I want to see Toyota win Le Mans, and hopefully they won't run into any issues.
Also, I could be wrong, but does the Toyota driven by Anthony Davidson and Kazuki Nakajima always finish higher up than the other Toyota?

It might make sense to have all the cars together for an ACO organised test to balance their performances, like how V8 Supercars did it with the current cars.Though what you say is quite reasonable, I'm a romantic. Sue me!
