It did.

That shouldn't be the difference, the driver change should be done before the fuel has finished going in. Seems like it was just a slow stop for the #7/quick stop for #8 (only 1s slower than #1).
Edit - #97 getting a door change for the dangling left hand side mirror. Fire at #67! Priaulx jumps out and looks ok thankfully... Last edited by J Jay; 24 Jul 2016 at 12:04. |

i think pace-wise, we're beginning to see what toyota meant when they said this year's car is all geared towards le mans. i thought they'd be closer in the race than they were in quali, but at the moment, their speed doesn't allow them to be a factor in the battle for the win. however, the race is long...

Quite a large fire for the #67 Ford during its pitstop.

Hartley reporting that he's beginning to lose the rear end on corner entry.
And the #1 took a brand new set of tyres... |

Jarvis passes Hartley into the chicane, Lotterer quickly catching the #1 as well.

Audi don't look particularly fast, just the Porsche currently looks slow. Very odd.

Lotterer passes Hartley by diving under the #1 while it was being cautious with the Gulf Porsche (...) into T1.
Good decision Brendon. |

the audi seems marginally faster on a clean track, but indeed hartley seems to have lost some pace in the latter laps.

I'd be a bit wary of continually telling Hartley to "Keep pushing"...
On the fuel front the #1 is well within range. But they will have to use their scrubbed set eventually so if an adjustment is needed it needs to be done soon. |

Webber has his helmet on, so they will probably switch drivers again at the next stop?

maybe too quick to say this, but audi seem to be on the right path towards finally sorting this car out. unfortunately, post-le mans...

Slow puncture reported on the #1. That wipes out it's stint advantage as well. Great drive from Hartley if he had to deal with that for a few laps.
Full service, Webber in. Edit - At this pace, the Toyotas will be almost a stop behind the leaders at the halfway mark. It's looking increasingly like a VAG-only affair. Last edited by J Jay; 24 Jul 2016 at 12:39. |

they said their car was almost purely le mans oriented, so it makes sense.

If that's correct, they'll have to make up a lot of fuel. Anyhow, it is now back in front of the 2 Audis. |

#2 pit stop under investigation. Those don't usually come out well for the car in question...
