A great figure. Thank you.

The #7 car really had the edge on the 8 car. Something else I noticed is that while the #8 car was at the top of the "speed trap", the #7 was mid pack on the speed trap averages.

It seems like the #7 was setup in a different way, which explains the pace difference. However, we haven't really gotten to the bottom of the accuracy of the speed trap numbers. The Alpines showing the same speed traps as LMGT3 still doesn't pass my sanity test. I know they had issues at Le Mans, but if they only had the speed of LMGT3 on the straights, they should have been much slower.

It was a great race.
