That reminded me of my days working at a call center for an american cable company
. "Ok ma'am, I want you to unplug your modem from the power cord, leave it unplugged for at least 30 seconds and plug it back in when I tell you" .#1 going into pitlane, most likely to the garage.

So the #20 Porsche is a lap or two behind the #1 Audi...the battle for the final podium place just got interesting again!

And the #20 Porsche is up to 3rd! Depending on how long the #1 Audi is in the pits, will be fascinating to see if they can rejoin, catch up and re-pass the Porsche.

Le Mans Hour Twelve:
Andre Loterrer was experiencing some more issues in what could be described as an “interesting” stint in the #2 Audi. This time, the driver was reporting issues with the door. When he pitted, the mechanics made some slight changes to the front aero on the R18.
The Alpine of Paul Loup Chatin was up to second, around a minute off the pace-setters in the #35 Ligier. Elsewhere, the LMP2 Morgan-OAK-Pescarolo of Pla, Rusinov and Canal had been listed as a retirement after stopping out on track earlier in the race.
GTE PRO was, as ever, producing brilliant battles as we approached the halfway point of the race. Toni Vilander was right behind Tommy Milner in the Corvette. He was close at the Porsche Curves, and even close on the approach to Indianapolis on the following lap. However, it looked as if he was not able to make his way past the American driver no matter what he did. Vilander was having a go at various points all over the track, including the Ford Chicane. Unfortunately for the battling pair, the battling was doing little more than allowing Senna to run off into the distance. Eventually, Vilander pitted and handed the Ferrari over to Giancarlo Fisichella.
Fisi managed to get through after the #74 made its stop, using the undercut well. Will he now be able to chase down Senna in the Aston to challenge for the lead?
In a dramatic twist, Tom Kristensen is currently slowing massively, trying to reset the car desperately to no avail. Could this be a blow to the Audi campaign? It certainly looks as if it could be, as the Danish maestro brings the car to the garage, and work begins.
So halfway through the race, and it seems Toyota are in the money seat, with Sarrazin lapping faster than Lotterer and the ailing Kristensen. The #7 is almost two minutes clear of Lotterer in the #2 Audi. However, if the Toyota has an issue, the Audi of Lotterer can capitalise. If the #7 has an issue there’s no teammate to pick up the pieces or provide any real back-up, since the #8 is a dozen laps back. Audi could well have a second car in a competitive position, depending on how long this current issue goes on for the #1. Porsche are now the outsiders in my book, with their cars relatively far back. But, there’s a long way to go, and they could still capitalise on the misfortune of others. LMP1, to a heavy degree, depends on what goes on here with the #1.
Even though the OAK Racing team have been dominating LMP2 in the Ligier. However, I’m not sure the brand new car can go 24 hours without some ‘teething issues’. If they can make it to the end, they are favourites.
GTE PRO is wide open, and it’d be very stupid for me to even try and predict the result. However, iin GTE AM it looks like the #95 Aston Martin team are in control.

What's interesting now is that the Audi has generally been faster than the Porsche...but with the #1 Audi now a lap behind the #20 Porsche, how long will it take to regain the lost time?

Say wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut??????
They located the problem and changed an injector in 5 minutes???
Those guys and those cars are on a completely different level, they're supra-human. I'd take an hour to replace an injector on my Mazda and a month saving for the money to replace it
