Especially if they want championship pointss

I could get behind that, 1 km seems like it needs it a track specific length or pit in to out.

Presumably the link you're watching isn't run by the terrible WEC site.

#13 - missing 1 rear light

[Akrapovic]

Riley, 9 Toyota, 2 Ford's have no number lights on according to Sam Smith. Position. Lights aren't required but number lights are.

13 rebellion missing a tail light as well.

[C6R Racing Fan]

#31 still holding 3rd after their penalty.

Rebellion running strong, glad to see. Good team.

Report from Porsche's ticker

A deer just crossed the track somewhere in the forests ! (and now they have changed the wording to fox - which is not quite as bad, but could still do some damage)

That was no deer. It looked like a fox or other small furry local animal

With Lapierre of all drivers. Lopez was in the 19's earlier. I think Lapierre is about to unlap himself
