Well that sucks. I'll remember that race for a long time though!

Ford did a good job for their current BOP.
Aston and Corvette had big advantage this year. |

If last year was crazy, then this year would be described as insane. Aston finally managed a win in Pro.
Congrats to #2, #38 and #84 for the really amazing drives (has Dries got a Le Mans class win before his big brother!?) Some universal truths, such as Toyota's inability to win Le Mans, no matter what they do, cannot be changed. I hope they will understand how it important it is to make their car more serviceable, they've lost quite a lot of races due to this Ferrari screwed again in Pro (sigh...) |

Well what an absolutely crazy Le Mans! I can't remember one being so unpredictable.
Porsche No. 2, what a recovery drive! Heartbreak for the #1 and especially Toyota, I really thought this could be their year. They can't seem to buy a break at this event!! GT's close as usual, those last laps were crazy! Not sure if I agree with RLM, I think the Corvettes issues weren't caused by contact, it wasn't in the right place. LMP2's great result for the #38! thought they could have won it at one point. So, here's to next year!? ![]() |

Agreed, earlier contact with P2 is where his problem started, the off just finished him. Jordan did a good job, that's just Lemans, congrats to Aston.

Ford still beating the BoP drum on RLM. If they don't finish 1-4 it clearly isn't fair.
Loving having LMP2s 2-3. |

So, ALL of Porsche LMP drivers have now won Le Mans at least once.

What a race. Le Mans never ceases to deliver.
Congrats to Porsche, on their 19th record win. Who would have thought #2 Porsche would be there after that pitstop? Congrats to Jackie Chan snd DC on a superb performance. Congrats to Aston. I'd love Corvette to have won it but this is the last time we will see the Vantage race so it was fitting. Congrats to JMW, who seemed to have a somewhat uneventful race. Obviously commiserations for Toyota, such bad luck. I hope they are back next year. The only downside was Eurosport's dire coverage. Anyway, looking forward to next year.

Fantastic edition with lots of drama, unpredictability and great racing. Does it get any better than this?
Soon the empty feeling that this great race is over will kick in again. Already so looking forward to next year. Cheers to everyone here, cheers to RLM, cheers to Le Mans! |

Ford forget that Le Mans is 24 hours flat out no holding back. That's what makes class wins so special. Had Ford pulled of a win this year, would have been more special considering how close everything was!! Le Mans is difficult to win, that's the point! not cruising around with a 2 sec pace advantage!! |

Not bad for a race that was declared over after 11 hours and a half.
