Thanks to André Lotterer. Why on earth would such an experienced guy make such an idiotic move

Fun race so far, if you exclude the first two positions that is.

Awful race. No battle at all in any of the four classes. GTE Pro was fun, but not anymore (and the #81 losing ten minutes with a problem took out more of the fun).

Alonso got in the 8 now, let's see if he'll be just as aggressive between traffic in his first night stint as he was earlier in the race

Even Tracey Krohn didn't crash yet, come on.

I went ahead and recorded all 24 hours on my TV to watch tomorrow

He has brought the margin between the leading 7 and his 8 down from 2+ minutes to 56 seconds by now, epic stint so far for Alonso

Fantastic fight for 2nd in the GTE Pro, where a Porsche and Ford are fighting as if it's a sprint race.

This is absolutely incredible, Frederic Makowiecki in de #91 Porsche vs Sebastien Bourdais in the #68 Ford, passing each other again and again and Bourdais even going for a succesful highspeed pass on the outside
