Rubens looks like he is about to fall over and just sleep in the pitbox. :lol:
 
This sort of reminds me of the Audi vs Penske battle in ALMS.
 
If we account the pit stops, only perfectly times Safety Car cautions can make DC Racing pull the upset.
 
Lead gap down to 2 minutes 20. I'm terrified.
 
Do the #2 or #38 need anymore pit stops?

They probably do, just likely for fuel and tires, but the #38 will need to stop more times.

Looking past LMP2 vs LMP1, I don't see it, back then LMP2 had the weight advantage that ALMS courses sometimes benefited that advantage leaving them quick cornering the Audi which was going through Diesal nerfs thanks to the 24 hours of Le Mans.

Here its a guy who is weaker than his rival but is pushing ahead to try to reach the end before he does.
 
Porsche problems...

PLENTY of time left, anything can happen, this race proved it. That being said GO CORVETTE!!! :p

Exactly, as this race has proved, anything can happen, but the #67 is chasing the #91, and there's still a chance for a podium at least. Not sure where the Pro cars all sit, with their stints, since they're all stagnated. Come on Ford boys! keep at it #67.
 
Man, those LMP2's sure have problems driving away from the pits.
 
A lot of "could have been" moments this LeMans...so far, most entertaining in a long while.

GT or LMP?

Looks like the #2 couldn't hit their marks in the pits properly, and were on an angle. Took a few seconds to straighten it out to be able to refuel it.
 
Watch it rain torrentially in the last ten minutes.

Well, I'm up and here to see the rest. What kind of stuff did I miss?
 
The timing of Jota's stop could be a bit of a problem, it might mean they need a splash and dash in the final 10 minutes.
 
#8 Toyota had the fast lap of the race 3:18.604
 
Faastest lap by Toyota - the charge to victory is on...

#1 Porsche broke down on the track due to a loss in oil pressure. An LMP2 is leading the race and the #2 Porsche is hunting him down, currently being 1:26 minutes behind the #38 LMP2 in P2.

Toyota sets new fastest race lap, 3:18.604.
 
This is what I called fascination over Le Mans. Unpredictability, pressure, emotions, mistakes and glory is every aspects to make this race is truly a test between man and machine. Other motorsports do the same, but when it comes to drama, Le Mans is definitely one of those story to tell every precious moments of racing in just a single weekend.
 
Barrichello looks spent after that run. :eek:

If only it were Mario Kart and 8 Blue Shells appeared.

I'm guessing both #38 and #2 have 1 pit stop left with the #2 might be a light hearted splash and dash to finish due to their timing on this one.
