Hybrid boost and better acceleration in traffic will make toyotas unreachable anyway after 20 minutes.
Aside that, what time AER engines will blow during the race?

Unreachable 20 minutes? More like the second lap I reckon
Anyway the first AER will gloriously explode 4AM sunday morning at Mulsanne, with safety car required in moving the car. The second car won't burst any flames but will get stuck in the garage throughout the second part of the race because of continuing "engine warning signals", ultimately leading to retirement at 11AM
In all seriousness, I would like to say that as much as we make fun of the likes of AER, and say ByKolles, these are the _colors_ of the race. The absolute spirits of Le Mans. When you have a field of clone spec cars (LMP2) or performance balanced show machinery (GTE), there isn't really going to be much of "what's going to happen to them" factor... because they're all the same conveyor belt material.
