Safety car took forever to come back in at the end of the race, resulting in 2 crazy last laps  

 

All in all it was quite a good race, but only 10 of 22 drivers reached the finish

Over to Le Mans now for the LMP3/GT3 Road to Le Mans race

Unfortunately we have a start behind the safety car

 

By the way, if you're gonna watch you should download this free Spotters Guide, it's really useful

Little fact: the #84 Morgan is driven by of course three drivers, one of them being Frenchman Frederic Sausset:

After almost an hour the race has finally started for real, and only 20 minutes later the leader in the race (Audi #7) came in the pits with serious problems.

7,5 hours into the race and we've got the #6 Toyota in the lead. They still have to pit and after that will be quite closely followed by Porsches #2 and #1, with the #5 Toyota and #8 Audi in the lead lap as well  

[heywoodu 15,354]

Both Audi's had to pit because of some problem, now the #1 Porsche has to come in from 4th position as well, driver out of the car and they're having some work to do

Endless slow zones...come on..

 

Ah, right when I'm writing that, green flag 

 

Also, Red Bull sugar rush kicking in
