Too much work today, already contemplating that sleep thing to be up for the last couple hours. But staying up for the sunrise is always nice too

Floor problems would seem correct, and why throwing different bodywork settings on isn't pleasing the drivers.

On pace for about 380 laps at this rate. Things could always pick up though so lets see the total after another couple of hours.

I usually nap at Petit mid afternoon and that's at about 50' from the track. And not overnight

50 seconds covers the top 6 in GTE, 14 hours in.

51 Ferrari have done the brake change so gap came down from over a minute to around 40 seconds, but I think they got caught out by the slow zone and it cost them something like 20 seconds. Gap is now only 15 seconds to second place in GTE.

It's game on. Ferrari(x1), Porsche (x2), Ford (x2), Corvette (x1)

There is certainly an advantage bringing 4 cars to Le Mans. Porsche and Ford still have 2 bullets in the gun.

I've moved from one room to another, from recliner to couch. Also just poured another bourbon. I'm hoping to make it till 8 hours left and then take a snooze for a few hours.

Just thinking about the #7 lineup, and with Lopez in there, if they keep this up, wouldn't that be the first Argentine winner since Gonzalez in 1954?

Coffee is on, scotch in hand.

I have just cheated by nipping off for a quick shower, but feeling I can make morning (French time).

I'm glad we are all on the same page with Bourbon being the drink of choice. I haven't started in on that yet. I usually wait for the last 4-5 hours, otherwise I would not make it...

I stopped staying up for the whole race once i had more than one kid and fathers day falls on Sunday of the race. So i can have bourbon then take a nap and get up for the final 3-4 hours.

And what is your bourbon of choice for the morning? I am on 1792 right now.
