What is the % of coverage/air time right now between LMP1, LMP2, and GT?

I'd still back Di Grassi to get past both Toyotas before he pits again.

Are both of the Manors dead last? Expected them to be at the top of the order

I'm thinking, if Toyota are in low downforce mode, and running the same pace as the Porsches at their quickest, is that good? Porsche are probably in their high downforce trim, right? So come Le Mans they will be faster, and the Toyota are already at their "fast" trim? Hmm.

Still, I'm beginning to think maybe Toyota will beat at least one Audi. They are not in top shape...

#8 is still slow - 1m47

EDIT
#1 Hartley pits, stays in.
#2 Jani too pits too
#5 and #6 both pit too

#2 took tires, I think #5 didn't. No idea about #6

I agree totally! Such a shame they are ruining LMP2. I wonder if the tub could be used for a LMP1-L car?

Lotterer says that the pace difference is "nothing to do with tyres" and denies that the rubbing bodywork has anything to do with the lack of pace.

Edit - Brake temperatures very high on the #8, implying a KERS issue (failing to regenerate).

Wasn't the BR01 the only car that was a "pure" LMP2 - meaning that it could not be 'transformed' to a LMP1?

And I agree ... the car has grown om me too.

They have aspirations of P1, but I don't know their timeframe.

Spin for #7

Are there any differences between the porsche and audi pit stops? It seems the Audis are losing roughly 10 seconds every pit stop.

Toyota could do 1.41s early on but, now they are lucky to get 1.42s....

Audi not very much like Audi today .... driver error and mechanical problems too. With half of Audi gone and Toyota never really there ... and pP1-L doing its normal thing .... this could end up as another ELMS race.
