Scorchess has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
If they could get the #9 back to pitlane and back out in 45 minutes they might still make the podium.

Interesting... running cars at 18 hours have to have finished 50% of the leaders laps, if they haven't they are excluded.

Battery seems to be drained now, the #9 might be stuck 200m from pit entry.

Lapierre exits the car.

Two retirements in a period of 20 some minutes. This is even more cruel than last year imo.

Well. I guess the overall win is now either a Rebellion or a Porsche. Anything can happen, but I think I lost a bit of something. Very Le Mans Le Mans, indeed.

Although I agree, I can't believe that with half the race to go, Toyota have found themselves in a situation where we can even begin to compare with last year.

Wonder if they've figure it out on Eurosport...

Manor on the left (damaged on right side), Toyota in the middle (damaged on the left) and Dallara coming out of the pits on the right.

But having the nearest LMP1 car still running (it's team mate) almost 20 laps down and several seconds a lap over LMP2s, they can stroke it, they don't have to take risks.

No but a stupid P2 driver or Tracy Krohn means risks don't matter. Driving slowly is no guarantee of no problems either.

Absolutely gutted for Toyota! The team deserves much more. They must be feeling cursed at Le Mans. I really hope they can get the 8 car to the finish.
