#6 Ginetta officially retired, garage doors now closed.

Edit: And now we reach the halfway stage, 12 hours done, 12 to go :).
 
There is very little going on right now, infact very little has been going on ever since I came back four hours ago. Even Maldonado is behaving himself!

3 car in the garage for some reason.
 
#3 on the dollies and into the garage.

Edit: Loose under-tray by the looks of things, plank under the car has partially come off it's mountings.
 
Too bad Rebellion is now 5 laps down and will only catch of Toyota runs into trouble. But good news is 8 is catching up to 7, could get interesting again.

*doh!
 
I don't see much in the way of making the race interesting unless something befalls a leading car in one of the classes.
 
Alonso is driving like a man on a mission, inside 50 seconds now, that could get really interesting.
 
#29 looking a little fiery, and not in a good way.

Jumbo LMP2 is on fire.

Damn, I feel sorry for our neighbours from the Netherlands since they really supported that car. Didn't saw the fire yet is it serious or rather a little fire?

Little fire but potentially big.
 
It's not massive, but not ideal. Hard to tell whether it was engine or brake related.
 
Is it just me or is the BMW M8 GTE program gonna go the way of the Nissan Nismo LM?

I doubt it, certainly not at this stage, since the M8 very clearly has pace, and has been improving ever since it's debut in IMSA and WEC.

The BMW Mate has been surprise of the race imo.
 
Also, unsurprisingly, the #29 is in the garage.
 
For a moment, I thought it was the LMP2 leading G-Drive.

#40 in the wall at the Porsche Curves.
 
Yup, #40 with the code brown at Porsche curves this time.

Edit: Now a slow zone.
 
Big big hit, SZ out, no surprise.
