#7 Audi in the garage again.
#2 Porsche overtook the #1 Porsche.
 
#7 Audi back in the garage
 
Damn #8 needs some repairs..
 
#7 Audi back on track.
Sounded like the #8 Audi has to go into the garage soon too.

Nice shot of the Audi front there as the car heads back out.
 
Yup. They were mentioning, do it first on the #7, so when you do it on the #8. It should be quicker.
 
Audi used the #7 as a guinea pig for a future repair job that going to happen to the #8.
 
#8 has problems, so they bring the #7 in to practice what they need to do. That's... oddly genius.

EDIT: Methinks I've been treed a bit.
 
Oh boy... This race has not been good to me. Audi's running into major issues and Corvette has been BoP'd to perform in the MX-5 Cup... Hope things change in the night but things are looking ominous...
 
This race hasn't been good to Audi so far. #8 into the garage.

I hope he gets to stay there this time after what happened last year.
 
Back from autocross, now to settle down for a few hours of watching before dinner. Toyota vs Porsche looks like it should be a good fight.
 
Audi saved an entire minute's worth of repairs on the #8 by bringing the #7 in first.
 
Well that was a nice little nap, I guess I missed the day/night change by about an hour :grumpy:

Porsche and Toyota managed to make both faster and better looking cars though.
 
I had to leave for a few hours. What did I miss?

I heard the same about the shark nose of an F1 BMW. There is always another way to do it right

Not much. Toyota have steadily built their advantage at the front, the #47 KCMG is out, that's about it.
 
16 hours remaining.

The WEC stream commentators talking about much better Le Mans is than F1....drink.

While I agree that the Audi is ugly, it's always a question of taste, but at the end of the day a race car has to be reliable and fast and not aesthetic.
