Last years race was a little better up until that point. We are just missing a clear on track scrap between the P1s, now they are all staggered.

First Ford (Franchitti) flummoxed.

#67 carries straight on into the tyres at Mulsanne.

Well, the differences in fuel consumption make a close race rather impossible right now.

I'm still stunned how well this is all playing out for Toyota so far, I don't think anybody expected this.

That was either a broken car or he missed his braking point by a silly amount. Not even close to making the corner.

At least from Fords point of view, all the problems have been for one car.

Because what you're watching on Eurosport 1 now is the 24 Minutes magazine, live race coverage is on ES2.

The Porsche/Toyota battle early on was really good though, and Toyota's pace and fuel economy are really impressive.

GTE was really good early on too.

That Alpine driver was really annoyed! Who was that, and what riled him up that much?
