Meanwhile Audi seems to have sorted the issues with their car. In the last three races, at least one of their cars had already made a trip to the garage at this point. |

Unexpected FCY gives a huge advantage to the 2 Porsche!

FCY incoming? I know there was some fluid down on the track somewhere.
#2 gets in the pits just before the FCY, so it helps them a lot. |

The #2 have a had a lot of luck this year. Inherited the Silverstone win, came second at Spa despite a malfuctioning hybrid, the last lap win at LM and now this.

That's racing. If the FCY was for an accident then I'd understand it but a debris FCY that changes the lead is a bit poor. But that's racing, there's 3 hours to go.

Not much else that could be done in that situation, no other race neutralisation would have prevented the #2 from taking advantage seeing as it was on pit road just before the FCY was called.
Back to a 2-on-2 for the lead, but from here the Porsches definitely have the edge. |

They're calling FCY for almost every little incident that happens.

Unpopular as it may be, I'm going to trust Freitas et al on this one and assume they dealt with the debris as quickly as they could have. |

This is why they usually give a countdown to the FCY and announce it a minute early. They didn't do that for this one which was odd. That's why the placement and implementation seems weird.

Tor Graves just got very lucky in the esses, that could have ended with a hard shunt into the tyres! |

I'm a bit curious about Strakka. They have never impressed me that much, but today they have looked real good. But, how come they slide down so low in between the highs?

Conway is having by far the quickest stint from a Toyota so far.
