Looks like the #2 Audi is back out! Dindo Capello already up to 3rd overall (rain helping them?)

Also, Flying Lizard up to 4th in GT

Toyota has a two lap fuel advantage (through bigger tank)? That with bigger fuel flow restrictor - which could still get increased by the ACO - and probably quick single lap pace isn't too bad

Is that iconic horn sounded when a car enters/exits the pit lane/pit stall?

Is that a tie for overall quickest lap?

Apparently the R18 is half a second faster through the 1st sector then the Toyota, then the Toyota is faster in sector 2, and then they have identical lap times.

Hehe, JMW Ferrari is showing as LMP2 on the timing screen...

I thought that the Pro IMSA was supposed to be running today? No laps at all for it... what about the LMPCs?

If the Toyota wasn't a hybrid I don't think they'd be as fast. So far the Ultras are faster. But I think the E-tron will catch up.

Yeah, same if Peugeot could have kept it up in 2007 and 2008.

Interesting to see 8 Nissan engined prototypes including 5 Oreca-Nissans 2-6 all behind the Status car in LMP2.
