That's too bad for Oak. No need for that, really.

OAK twins nearly total each other. #24 seems OK, #35 suspension damage after curb-hopping.

Remember that Toyota must also finally do a proper pitstop.

Toyota are sort of screwed in a way--double stinting tires and drivers is their only option to try and win. If they have to single stint tires, they're done, but they are losing a lot of time on their second stint on tires.

Idiotic driving from #35, nearly wrecked both cars!

Regarding the OAK incident. Not the same when it's Brundle and Plowman as when it's Ricardo Gonzalez and DHH. Shame for the 35 car they had a good shot at the win.

#2 Audi had nearly a 10 second lead when it pitted. Biggest lead since the first stint of the race.
Sarrazin runs the #8's fastest lap, but still about 1.5 slower than the #2's best, and nearly 2 slower than the #1's best. Audi speed might be too much to overcome because the Toyota fades so badly on it's second stint. And if Toyota have to single stint tires, they'll give up what advantage it's gaining. |

I always like hearing Eduardo Freitas on the WEC broadcasts. I can only imagine what insanity we would hear if Paul Walter was mic'd up.

Davidson now trials by over 30 seconds. It seems that Ant's having a time coming to terms with the Toyota, this being his first time out today. However, he wasn't very fast compared to Steph or Seb in testing.
Very unusual, since Ant has really been the star in that car most of the year. |

Audi need big gap because Toyota will have 1 less pitstop.

Engine sounds seems to be toned down lately on the stream? Is it just me or were the much more hearable and therefor nicer to listen to earlier on?

I think it's over now, gap over 30 seconds and increasing.
Still, Toyota is going in the right direction, they were pretty competitive today. Regarding Davidson, is it me or has he not been as quick in the Toyota as he was in the Peugeot? He really was the standout driver in the Peugeot squad but he hasn't really got there in the Toyota camp yet. |

Ben triple stinting as a driver, #1 Audi double stinting tires.

Also, Truswell says that #2 Audi and #8 Toyota, if it goes green, will each need 3 more stops. Davidson losing massive amounts of time now. Duval is hammering him. Issue with Ant or the car, or is Toyota trying to save fuel. |

Disappointing stint from Davidson...1:53s are way too slow.
