Good job by Af Corse #51 as much as i dislike the Ferrari GTE cars, cant deny how much hardwork they've put in over the week and how perfect their race has been.

Very pleased with the pace and reliability of the Aston Martin GTE and the Toyota.

Next Year will be an incredible race.

Any sign of Strakka struggling back out for the finish? Or anyone else?

Why is the last lap always processional? What would happen if say the Porsche and Corvette was racing right up to the chequered flag and the processioning Audi's held them up and ruined the race?

Surely it makes more sense to let them do a processional lap after the chequered flag has fallen rather than straight into the pits?

Agree with that. And what if the marshals actually need to wave a yellow on the last lap but they are already waving everything else? Seems risky to me.

Good race, hopefully everything works out for Toyota next year.

Well done to Audi, Starworks, Labre and Af Corse!

I tell you what, Larbre are the perfect GTE AM team, they never have accidents, get in the way, drive like idiots. They just lap solidly and always end up there or there abouts at the end.

Some of the Ferrari teams can learn from them.

If the race would still be close they would run it flat out and run a cool-down lap, like last year.

Maybe P&M and Chevy could do a deal with them? A works backed Chevrolet Europe team?

Starworks has won Sebring and Le Mans in their debut year, incredible.

Good race by Audi, but congrats to Rebellion, really wish they had gotten on the podium. Congrats to AF and Labre as well.

Next year should be epic.

Rebellion had a great race. They are much more worthy of a factory backing than Pescarolo imo. Sadly i don't se that happening.

A very good job for Audi clinching the overall victory, especially the No. 1 car. If only McNish, Capello, and Kristensen clinch first place...

Also congratulations to Starworks Motorsport, AF Corse, Larbre for winning their respective classes!

Congrats to Audi on a 1, 2, 3 and congrats to Starworks. Nice to see Rebellion get the 4th place in LMP1, denying Audi complete domination.
