At Le Mans, the car looked very 'brittle', not sure how that word might translate for you, but lacking the ability to soak up bumps (or curbs), not at all forgiving, but yes, I've been unaware of those characteristics during this race.

They do seem to collect a bit of bad luck but not sure their "pro" drivers are quite on the same level as others.

@Bentley: Sautillante may be? We has this in our RS/RSR's several centuries ago. Now, can the #5 go till the end without pitting?

Nothing seems to change between #7 and #50 now. It goes up and down some tenths.

Now it has started to expand. I think Toyota got it.

Ferrari has lost it. Toyoya has used their experience and the #50 stuck behind #51 sealed it.

It will be a good result with three different makes in the top three. I think Ferrari could have won it, though.

No, lacking compliance, car looked as if it might snap/break rather than bend and smooth or soak up the bumps. But sautillante (hopping) the 963's certainly were, at Le Mans. The Cadillac's were the opposite, appeared very comfortable over the bumps.

Got it, thanks for your help. Surprisingly Peugeot use a lot of suspension travel. And the Toys are really hard on the tires.

Given the 50 had the Peugeot well covered behind - I'd like to have seen them keep all those tyres on and retain track position. Make the Toyota pass you for the win.
