I think Kobayashi's lid is rad as gently caress too. Looks like it was based off of Tomoyasu Hotei's guitar design.

GTPro has consistently produced the best racing the last few years.

The two euro porsche's have a 1 lap lead on the rest, but its close after that. Porsche played the BoP game.

Based on the last 13.5 hours, if they keep going at the same pace it will be 393 laps, 4 laps short of the 2010 record.

So things I never heard that WEC did this season:

1. Moved to IMSA style pit stops, with refueling and tire changes allowed at the same time.
2. Stopped the practice of yellow lights for GT cars.

It looked like brakes to me, maybe they are just being proactive and doing a full bleed on them since they have a 13 lap lead over the Dragonspeed car anyway. Normally you can do that without taking the nose off though.

Go have a sleep man, the toyotas won't break down until the final hour, so may as well get 8 or so hours sleep.

I know but its about to be happy hour. I need to see that at least. when the track temps are low and the light is coming up, allowing more chances to push. it's my favourite part of the race.

Sleeping mechanics and the ones still up loving with the sleepers are the best parts of 24h races.

#82 BMW has had the right-rear tire go pop -- just spun it coming into the Porsche Curves and the bodywork has cut the tire down.

Not a great race for BMW on its first year in GTE.
