Toyota finally do it and Alonso is only one race away from the Triple Crown.

Great to see the Pink Pig win the GTE PRO class.

Great finish to the race! The same cars may have been leading the classes for a good portion of the race, but every once in a while it is good to have a race like this!

Really pleased for Toyota, I don't care what anyone says they deserved this after 2016 and it isn't their fault Porsche and Audi dropped them in it this year

Porsche win both GT classes too! Good work! Awesome the pink pig managed it

Wouldn't you be more confident in a good finish in the current crop of P2s? I'd stick with my Oreca!

There was also no competition for them in LMP1, there is never any guarantee any team can finish this race, regardless of how much faster you are.

I agree, they had no competition in 2006, but I was trying to say it would still be different if their car was a few years old, raced 3 full seasons and well developed through the years.
Also, the R10 did manage wins against the competition, though not always because of superior pace.

Is he even there? I haven't seen him on any of the streams.

I know racing drivers aren't exactly portly, but it still surprises me to see three of them stood on the pontoon and it barely moves.
