Le Mans..........

At 16 hrs 18 mins, Porsche 919s are in 4th and 6th place. Toyota hybrid is 1st and the 2 Audi hybrids are 2nd and 3rd. The sun has set and cars are racing under/with lights. More to come!

Audi Welcomes Porsche to LeMans

#14 & #20 for 919 Porsche's at Le Mans...any significance in these numbers?

Toyota can't be feeling warm and fuzzy right now...

The time is time left in the race, not time completed! My bad! Porsche 919 in #4 position is a couple of minutes behind the leader and the #6 position Porsche is down 5 laps.

I found that link before I came here, but wanted to thank you for sharing, too!

Definitely bucket list worthy! The commentators were talking about ticket prices earlier, and it's unbelievable how afforadable this would be! So next year, It'll be:
Isle of Man,
Le Mans,
Tour de France,
ICU.

Why is Patrick Long not racing in LMP1? I like seeing him in the Dempsey car (and I hope they do well) but wondering what Porsche's reasoning is.

Pros: ONLY if you want to watch just the Audi, but more telemetry
Cons: more ads, smaller aspect ratio

Thank you for posting the link! I see the full Strawberry Moon on the In-Car shots!

I haven't seen any ads.
I do notice that the Audi's are able to short shift coming out of the slow corners. Must have awesome torque as they go 2-5 and 3-6 without missing a beat when accelerating.

Could Porsche make a more complicated race car?

The late night commentary is quite interesting... "your wrist tan line because you don't wear a Rolex?"
That, and everyone gets "are you staying up all night?"

Update....14 Porsche just lost power. Long way to pit lane. Looks like limp mode, or stuck gear box. Ugly ugly ugly.
