Lasse should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Anybody got any idea, where the #90 got the damage to the front?

Negative, it wasn't shown on screen. I imagine we'll get an interview that'll let us know later.

Something to note - G-Drive pitted early under the FCY to avoid the splash, but they're currently losing time to the leaders.

Remarkably little damage to the Algarve car. Tyre barrier needs a rebuild.

Safety Car failed to pick up the leader. It is in front of #11. First LMP2 (car in 2nd in the queue) is #40.
#23, #22 and #32 are 2'30 in front (so nearly at the back of the field). They almost gained a lap this way (right now)

I was about to ask if they were planning a wave by, but they just did it. So that should sort that.

Christian Ried knows how to drive a car back without tearing it completely to pieces.
(Maybe it helps that it is his own car)

The SC procedure is taking quite some time, and they still have to allow #29 and one or 2 others to unlap.

Tell you what, making notes on this one has been fun.

G-Drive is pulling away from Graff. Under yellow.

I wonder if the line that the driver takes makes a significant difference.

DragonSpeed pitting. Smart move. They might be able to make it to the end from here. Everyone else needs 2 stops. 22 only managed to spend half a pit stop under that yellow.

Lapierre is 3 seconds faster than the leader right now, and 5-7 faster (!!) than everyone else.

I've almost caught up by skipping the cautions, which only goes to show how bitty (for want of a better word) the race has been so far.

Sounds bad, but it's nice to see a bit of variety at the front of LMP3 and not a United Autosports run away. Not just chassis with the Norma, but having Ultimate back up there and AT Racing.

Having a little more separation between the LMP3 and GTE-AM cars wouldn't be a bad thing.
