I'm so heartbroken for Toyota, but that's Le Mans. That's part of why this race is so legendary.

Guys, this is only the 2nd time I've watched Le Mans and the first time I've watched more than 30 minutes.

I don't know anything about anything but that was insane.

It's only happened to them once, Toyota went through this in 1999 too.

Apparently it had to finish the final lap within 6 minutes and they weren't even close.

Stopped after the line, took 11 minutes to do the final lap and you're not classified if it's over 6 minutes.

They were indeed not classified for failing to comply with regulation 10.15, "Taking the last lap in a time inferior to 6 minutes (start/finish line-start/finish line or pit exit loop-start/finish line), except in case of "force majeure" at Stewards’ discretion. "

I believe Audi is bringing a new car next year, and this was Toyota's car for next year. If they do continue I do not at all like their chances for the next few 24s.
