But yeah I agree it's quite a bit, 10 hour 45 min + 8 hour = 18 hours 45 mins, less than standard 6 hour WEC race away from race length. Maxi Endurance Portimao 32 Hours last November had 5½ hours of pre-race track time...

In any case, if we're trackside you're not going to catch us complaining about MORE track time for the WEC cars.
