Of course - it's less likely, but still possible. You can be minding your own business and an Oreca can come out of nowhere and take you out. You can be taking it as easy as you like and not see the bit of debris or gravel that causes a race-threatening puncture...

Tell you what, anyone mulling over purchasing a new LMP1 privateer chassis might have just had their arm twisted after watching these events unfold...

We've got a race with tracy krohn in it, and just 12 more than ago we witnessed the most dramatic le mans finish ever. Yet people claim the race is over.

Now pulling for a Rebellion, they deserve this as much as any prototype team running still.

No chance. There are some quitters here, like me who ***** and moan. Toyota don't quit. Look at ByKolles, they should also have quit. They keep fighting.

I'll sleep some, and then there's a race again.

SCs have to return to the start point (car 1 has to stop where car 1 started from), so probably just cycling around to the correct positions. 8 min lap times make it a long process.

LOL ... what makes you think the result can change in the final few minutes ....

it's not like we have seen In This Race, cars which were minding their own Risi business taken out Manor by apparently random Toyota #9 accidents.

Couldn't happen.

If a P2 car does finish third overall, I really hope the ACO don't do something dumb like putting the #8 crew on the podium instead because they finished third in LMP1.

Fact is that as of right now, Porsche have it in the bag if they don't make stupid mistakes or break anything. The #1 has been the only car without a major issue so far. And they have such a big lead right now they can stroke it. They can probably park their cars for 15 minutes each hour and still win this thing because the LMP2s don't have the lap time.

Scorchess, you must be a very unhappy person.

I hope you get your life and mind in order. It isn't healthy to be so full of anger and sorrow.

And the tyres stay up. And reliability is perfect. And no GT cars hit them. And no LMPs hit them. Etc.

Fact is it isn't won yet.
