Just got RLM back, was fearing I'd have to rely on Eurosport commentary at the finish!

"Neel Jani has almost run his maximum legal number of laps, and will have to switch with Prost or Heidfeld before the end"

"Jani pits and stays in the #12 car. That will be the penultimate stop. Prost will have to get in with approx 15mins of race to go!"

Via twitter...
What is the situation at Audi #3? Can be very close at the end...

Edit: okay, Duval replaced Gené in the #3, but seems they go now till the end, while the Rebellion will have one more pit. Go-go-go Jani and Prost!

I wonder whether Gene will become a permanent fixture at Audi with Dumas & Bernhard gone.

One less Porsche in race at the moment.

5th gear has exploded in the #55 Porsche.

Pons is in the #67 and Lamy in the #50 maybe the GTE AM race isnt over.

Looks like Pescarolo Dome will come out for the finish.

Was Armindo at the end of his driving time? Because Pons is slower than Armindo..

I think the No. 67 made a mistake by putting Pons in and none the less back out on old tires. This will more than likely hand the win to Labre.

Cant understand why they put Pons in the car, surely they knew Lamy would pass them.

This international feed sucks, director is just showing meaningless stuff while Lamy catches Pons... not that there was much of a battle.

Really cant understand Imsas decision. Armindo only did 1/2 stints since takeing the car from Narac so surely he wasn't going to be over driving time. I understand Pons likely pays alot of money to be in the team but really? 30 mins of extra driving time or a class win, i know what id take.

The ultra motion camera appears to be his wet dream. Nothing like seeing grid girls in super slow motion.

Honestly, some of the slo-mo shots have been stunning. It's not like important stuff is happening on the track anyways.

I agree, some of the shots have been stunning, however while Lamy was catching Pons I was seeing crowd members doing "wacky things," kids eating ice cream and grid girls (not looking especially interested) in slow motion.

Not compelling viewing IMHO. Demonstrated a complete lack of situational awareness for a live director.
