Maybe Toyota should run Mazda badging and see what happens...
 
Tired Tyres
They are a lap down, have La Pierre, who has a history of crashing Toyota's, Lopez, who has a history of crashing Toyota's and a Japanese driver who has never driven here before. What could possibly go wrong? Answer. Oh dear.

So what happened with the LMP2 crash?

I don't think they know yet? The Toyota issue took all the attention.

I thought the #9 was hit in the rear by the LMP2, but the broadcaster said the rear tire blow, so it wasn't the LMP2.
 
Holy crap, I leave for 2 hours and come back to this! Please tell me I haven't lost any of my Fords.
 
To all those bashing LMP1, this is like any Le Mans race pre mid 00's. Survival of the fittest. It's old fashioned endurance suddenly.

Also Rebellion to win LM?

When he was a kid, Nicolas Prost understood who was is father after he see him in the (semi)fictional comic Michel Vaillant. Today he's driving a once fictional branded "Vaillante" car at Le Mans, sharing seat with Senna's neveu. A victory - they currently lead LMP2 - would complete the picture :D

So can Porsche just cruise around? Or is the LMP2 close?
 
If Le Mans would be an animal, it definitely would be the most jerkish cat ever known to mankind.

Pla spun into the wall and dumped a load of gravel on the track, that caused the safety car which killed the Toyota.
 
The past 20 minutes... I think I need a nap.

When I come back, I expect a P2 car to be leading, at this rate.
 
I will not be surprised if LMP 1 is killed after this year.

Well, it's a mixed bag for the Ford's, what with the #66 multiple laps down in GTE-Pro after suspension failure, and the #67 had a drive through, but the #68 and #69 are still going.
