Tire and fuel strategy. Campbell had 3 new tires against used tires for the others that he passed. They also showed that the 5 Porsche had used a good bit more energy (~5%) than the rest around him during that stint. I think Porsche just wants to get in front of the Toyotas so they can play blockers towards the end rather than having to overtake for the championship.

Big discrepancy in pace between manufacturer cars as well. 5 Porsche looks quick. The other Porsches look average to bad. 51 Ferrari looks quick. 83 and 50 look rubbish.
