I don't think we seen that incident. I thought (but could be wrong) it was a BW flag for the 66 for an incident involving the 91. Might've heard wrong though.

No you are right. B/W flag for the #66 for aggressive driving against #91

I assume the 31 took the 5 second penalty that time. Gap is 27 seconds and growing. Going to need one of those mad Senna stints at the end of this one. Looking very good for the 38!

I think GTE Pro will be quite interesting next years with new cars from BMW and Aston Martin. IMHO the auto balancing this year has been pretty good bar the old Vantages, which really should be retired by now.

#38 pits slightly early for the FCY, but it's cancelled.

Lopez is really slow, he's lost 17 secs to Nakajima and the Porsche #1 is gaining on him rapidly.

I think Lopez used up the tyres quite quickly. His first stint was very fast.

91 Porsche is absolutely no where, handing the title to Ferrari right now. The Ford challenge is also fading.

LMP2 title fight:

JCDC now leads Rebellion by 55 seconds. Rebellion has burned all of the silver driver time, whilst JCDC is just beginning doing the same.

Contact between #7 and #92. I think the Porsche GT is at fault there. Also FCY out to get the #92 out of the gravel

I just don't know what to say about the 92 Porsche and Porsche team this year in WEC.

It was a little bit of an unusual place to nip through, but it wasn't unsafe by Kobayashi. All Porsche fault.

Lopez is not driving with his head, he's not a good endurance driver.

Ford waited longer than everyone else to pit under FCY and left it too late.

Christensen doesn't seem to agree and points to the fact that Kobayashi overtook in his blind spot

Well if I drive a GT car and see a LMP1 loom in my mirrors, and he suddenly is gone, he is probably beside me. If I can not see him to the right, he is on my left. Is it that hard?

Potentially important - if the 13 passes the 38, it'll hold it up for the 31.

13 and 31 both owe pit stops, but currently faster than the 38.

Edit: I post that just in time for the 13 to pit.

Ridiculous move by Tandy. He came from so far back. He braked so late that he didn't even make it to the apex.

I'm not sure about that one. Wasn't the #1 too late to dive in?

Edit: yeah that's an easy call. Fault of the #1.

BTW isn't this the second time these two cars have had contact? (recall Hartley at Silverstone last year)
