I'm sure I've seen one of the 991s driving the Mulsanne straight offline to cool the tires.

Maybe a bit too much, #2 is steadily losing time to the Toyotas.

Not too much yet but the gap is shrinking...and they have to stop more often.

I don't know how drivers sleep after getting out of the car. I would be so hyped up that I wouldn't be able to.

Fisichella has just got to drive faster despite the conditions. Easy to say but it seems like the only way they are gonna catchup.

If someone had told me beforehand that Toyota would be in (sort of) striking distance to the leaders and running 2nd & 3rd after 14 hours, I wouldn't have believed it.

Great race so far. All it needs is for the #2 to have something go wrong now...

The Speed announcers are definitely resorting to their Grand Am instincts when it comes to cautions.

#39 should probably be dq for that, been woefully slow all race and then does something dangerous like that.
