There have been a number of bumps and scrapes in LMP2. At a more closed-in track, any one of them could have been race-ending.

Peugeot have taken a massive leap forward.

It really goes to show too, that right now you have to be pretty much faultless to stay on the top step. Competition is there or thereabouts.

Agree, it was great!

Peugeot has to be happy to get both cars to the finish with little drama after the 93 started on pit lane.

Glick turned it around this round after a tough Sebring.

1st podium for a lmdh too!

I'm only an hour in.

30 odd minutes in. Toyota 7 told to avoid kerb turn 9 pretty early on. Did they say "we have a problem".

This was funny. "The sister car is faster!" LOL. "No it's not" - hmmmm. As the commentators said, it is another things where Toyota have the experience and have learnt to deal with this.

And now they swap (45 odd minutes in). In a racy way.

Bovy getting past Keating. Go get the Ferrari...
EDIT: Keating had used up all his track limits, made a mistake and had to play it safe. Under pressure!

I’m even less of a fan of the new safety car procedure if they’re going to do the wave by while the recovery operation is still going on like they did today, so we had numerous cars travelling at speed to catch onto the back while marshals were at the side of the track, bloody stupid

Thanks Adam.... I was trying to find the answer today. I ended up settling for Goodwood members meeting free stream on the TV, and live timing for Portimao on my laptop.

No. I expected exactly what we got today.


And I expect the same at Spa.

And another Toyota victory at Le Mans.


Then maybe after that they will finally adjust BoP.
Otherwise I expect Toyota victory until they finally do it.


If they don't then Toyota will win all of them.

I'm not half way through and I've been servicing a car too so have missed the odd ten minutes as I let the oil out, refilled, etc..., so might have missed a bit.

When did this happen, I'll look out for it.

Round the 3hr mark when Bamber was battling Menezes that the Caddy was very raceable. It did look it - lots of steering corrections without losing too much speed.

I suspect that they've managed this on both cars as best they can. I'd be interested to understand more. Especially before thinking the sensor was on the grassy knoll.

I liked this quote though:

Tried to do the same myself, figured rear brake change (slightly longer than a GT swap) and RLM would be good. Nope, brakes that came were open and rewrapped.

Listened a bit after the market but nap took over. Think I'll have to try to catch up this week in the car between stops
