An accidental "double exposure." As Fox Sports GO was switching from Neel pumping his fist to the Porsche Team celebrating, I pressed Print Screen, and this happened:

Cool! Thanks for all your pics, John!

The #5 car ran out of fuel? Is that what happened?

Congrats to all the teams who competed....quite an accomplishment if you were able to finish regardless of order.

I know John, but was it a fuel issue or something else?

Toyota is like the Buffalo Bills of Le Mans.

And now, is it true that the 5 car is not even going to be classified because it took too long to complete its last lap?!

Not sure if Toyota has made that known yet and I don't think the announcers knew based on what they said in the closing moments of the race.

Great race! I stayed awake all night watching it from my phone via the WEC app. I heard that it's mandatory to complete a cool down lap, and that's why they were not classified.

Will also be curious to see what happens with the 2nd place Ferrari (number 82 Fisichella) which got a black/orange flag for faulty leader lights. Race control told them to come in for a penalty, which would have cost them 2nd...the team told him to stay out.

It will probably be awhile before there's a final ruling on the #82 Ferrari... but listen to Radio LeMans for more here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq8Slcs84Ic

I'm gonna crash.

Radio Le Mans' announcers just said it's confirmed the #82 will get to keep it's 2nd place in GTE Pro.

And an American driver won his class. Gustavo Menezes from LA was victorious in the LMP2 class.
