Toyota will finally win in a year in which there was no competition. P1 class was a complete joke. Hope they enjoy their hollow victory.
Happy to see the 32 in the top ten. Was hoping for podium in P2 though. :(

Toyota wanted to make sure Alonso won. they forgot to pit the car. on the 11 max thing. don't know what's worse. forgetting to pit or the 11 lap thing.

Doesn't seem like much happened overnight. The people in front are still in front.

There was indeed some drama at night. Buemi got himself penalized twice for overspeeding and the car #8 was 2 minutes behind at one point. Alonso put a monster stint and cut the gap to 30 seconds (qualy laps on the dark). Then it was back and forward until #8 took the lead.
Lesson to F1. You can have very good racing when you put 6 drivers on identical cars
It is not over until the fat lady sings and still one hour to go...

Radio LeMans using Lena Garde (the engineer that was fired for Hinchcliffe's failure to qualify at Indy) as a commentator.

Various cars (the #7 among them) for exceeding stint length! What BS in a ENDURANCE race.

Kobayashi is a beast. It is a shame he is not in F1. Unfortunate like many talented people who just did not had the proper backing to stay at the top.

Well done Toyota. Who cares if others did not compete, not their fault. Besides, it is freaking 24 hours at redline. Finishing the race is easier said than done. Besides, this year race at the top was a drivers race rather than constructors.
I am exhausted, and I was sitting at home in front of a screen. Cant imagine what it is to be on the track lap after lap day and night
