Commentators are mentioning that they haven't seen LMP2s make a brake change yet.

The 13's race just seems to be unraveling now.

Imagine if the ByKolles didn't have its problems on lap 1...

At present if they could have fixed it and got it out, it'd be on the podium.

I can't imagine it was a 22hr rebuild...

But they should realistically finish in the top 6, correct?

I would have to check how far back they are, but like with Porsche, it takes like ~45 minutes to an hour to make a lap back on LMP2
 
So the Toyota dropped to 10th in the live timings but still says its on the run.

Did something happen?

We all got told to never give up when we were kids...

I think it's more about which parts they're allowed to replace, the engine had issues caused by the nose damage blocking air from going into the radiators. Really unfortunate sequence of events for that team.
 
There is no good place to find a PDF result from last year or an official WEC rule book, so I guess we're all guessing. My question is are there separate trophies for overall and LMP1 winners? Or was the P1 trophy presumed overall?

Is Jackie Chan even at the track? Surely he couldn't miss this spectacle! :p

It's something that not even Chuck Norris hasn't done.

In before Chuck Norris Rebellion Racing for 2018.
 
Toyota retiring hours ago was devastating, but Porsche on trouble is something out of prediction. I think this race has become classic Le Mans where everything matters to win the race, not a technological showcase anymore. Also, would love to see LMP2 leading the race, that would be interesting to see, because they are always under the shade of LMP1 fame, now it is time to shine! (Depends on how far the leading LMP2 can catch #1 Porsche gap)
 
As insane as the race has been, I wouldn't count out Toyota still getting the win with the 8. Yeah, I can dream.
 
The 2 is now within 2 laps. At the rate I calculated (3/4ths a lap per hour), he'll need about half a lap in the last 30-40 minutes or so... This is gonna be so close, slow zones could really effect this.

EDIT:. No wait, now it's saying he has over 2 laps in hand. I dont know that he can do this without help from the 38...
 
Live Timing keeps alternating between 2 Laps and 1 Lap apart from the Top 2.

Don't know why?
 
Wait wait wait, how many stops do both cars need and what is the pit delta?
 
This is deja vu with the Corvette and Aston Martin
 
Quick question to anyone streaming on Fox Sports Go, are you getting commercials now too? If so I'm just going to switch to FS1 on cable.

FIA WEC Live Timing keeps saying 1 Lap.

I'm on the Prosche Live Timing so perhaps there is difference on how the both tell the times.
 
My oh my...

This has just kicked off into one hell of a finish, to this already bonkers race, god knows what could happen to LMP1 right know, but this could be historic for LMP2.
