Can the 7 be pushed back by the 9? Or if it stops can the crew bring a battery to the driver to boost it back? I know only the driver can touch it.

Totally ruined. Only 1 lap between the 2 lead cars and we know they're absolutely bullet proof, as we've proven!

That's only for the last lap to prevent chronically sick cars being wheeled out at the end just to say they finished the race.

To do that would throw away the #9 cars race.

But the #8 car....

I admit I really don't want to see Porsche win this easily ... but A.) it is far from over and B.) there has been plenty of drama so far ... and probably will be lots more.

This race isn't even half over yet folks. Maybe a Little soon to give up?

9 can't push it, but I don't know about a battery pack.

#7 DNF.

One car each at the front. And a horde of LMP2s with a chance of a lifetime defining result.

Okay .... he's walked away. The #7 is done.

Still, two Porsches and two Toyotas in the race.

The 9 car can catch the Porsche. We know Toyota have up to 2 seconds pace in hand.

Simply don't understand how anyone who has ever watched Le Mans before could possibly say it's over. It's not.

In fact, I don't understand how anyone who's watched this race could say it's over. Serious issues have hit 3 of the 5 factory cars before half distance. We're not even at the part of the race where cars are most likely to fail mechanically.

Feels a bit like 2014, only more so.

If you were watching on Fox Sports Racing, you'd have ads for shows that are at least two years old, and have had no new episodes in that time. High quality shows like "RU Faster Than A Redneck", and "Rate My Ride". No, I am not kidding.

Then obviously you don't get LM or endurance racing at all, or you're clueless. EVERYONE I've ever heard involved in sportscar racing references it's the race against yourself and the car, not the other cars.

And only one from each in serious contention. But with about a lap lead, I have to say that the #1 has it in the bag if they don't have issues and the #9 doesn't pick up speed.
