I note that the "6 Hours" actually ran for 5hrs and 11 minutes as far as the winners were concerned.

Presumably a delayed start for some reason or were there problems with track conditions at the end?

Now I know that the race usually ends up being less than 6 hours but mostly they seem to make around 5 1/2 hours. Just over 5 seems a little short.

One wonders if knowing that would significantly change a race strategy for individual driver time and refueling stops.

Following on from that, if a team could influence the start time of the race somehow they might gain competitive advantage ....
