Whatever happened to the Audis as it's a Porsche 1-2 atm? :hmmm:

 

And #51 omg yes! :msuh:

[RobikV3]

Porsche has been leading for most of the time i feel like

 

And for #51 dont worry #64 Vette will catch up eventually :nuts:

[superhyper]

Audi #9 in big trouble, pretty much seals the Porsche 1-2 now unless something happens to them :hmmm:

Ferrari #51 in the pits, Corvette #64 has retaken the GTE-Pro class lead. Looks like this will put the GTE-Pro class win out of reach of the #51 car.

Nissan #23 decided it wanted to be a Ferrari

 

 

...and caught fire.

Last year the winning car completed 379 laps. At the moment, #19 is doing its 374th lap an hour and something before the race finishes. :eek:

[Guest MrLolololXD]

1 hour left!

Great race! Congrats to Porsche on the 1-2 finish and for knocking Audi from their win streak. Sad to see the Toyota's finish 8 and 9 laps down, but they definitely had a great run, not a single problem for the whole race. If they can make up the pace again for next year they'll be real contenders for the win with how reliable their cars proved to be this year.

 

 

Glad Corvette #64 snagged a first place in GTE-Pro for Corvette Racing. Shame #63 never got to start the race.

 

 

Horrible luck for Aston Martin #98 in the GTE-Am class, they were leading their class for the most of the race then crashed out with only 45 minutes left, but they did manage to last 23+ hours, anything can happen in a race this long.

 

 

More bad luck for Nissan with the LMP1 class cars, but considering this was their first year back in so long and that they're trying something so different, I'm impressed they had one car (#22) finish and another (#23) lasting as long as it did before having fire/gearbox issues.

 

 

As usual, can't wait for next year now! Thanks for the company everyone :D

[RobikV3]

What a race definitely one of the most entertaining ive seen so far!

 

As always it was a lot of fun with you guys here, it wouldnt be the same without you so thanks for company and, well cant wait for next year bring on 2016!!!

[The Compensator]

Pretty enjoyed the race, wouldn't enjoy it as much as if I were watching it alone so thanks for the company too, tduck, and yeah, start counting the days to next year's Le Mans race. :D Should be more fun with Ford coming back!

Good race this year and congrats to Porsche on Win #17. Was also happy to see the Vette win over the Aston as not a fan much of them anymore. :cheeky: Well done the winning Ferrari in not crossing the line on fire and to the others who completed the full length of the race, it's no mean feat after all and deserves a lot of respect.

 

Now if Nissan and Toyota can bring great cars next year it will be a real hell of a battle!

[The Compensator]

Just realized that it would be very symbolic if #17 Porsche won the race, youknowuddamean.

[Ryzza5]

Shame they had that incident which resulted in a penalty, would have kept the race much more hot.

They should have a joker entry where some random dude turns up in his completely normal non-sporty car and see how many non-finishing teams he can beat (while hopefully not being rear ended by a 300kph LMP1).
