Yeah the Ferrari lost it all on its own, and then recovered and drove off with no damage. Shame for the Porsche, maybe they can get it back to the pits and back on track.

Frits van Eerd says on RTL7 (Dutch) that the cooling system had leakage and the engine temperature reached up to 120°C/248°F. He hopes the engine is not damaged after this. The #29 is on track again, the temps of the engine are good now.

Great livestream of JPM in the Dragonspeed LMP2.

Not sure it's a good idea to embed a livestream or not, so clicky linky above!

Up from 21st to 17th overall even with a pitstop.

Can't believe the Dempsey Porsche is out after such a minimal hit. Very disappointing for an endurance car.

JPM out and Rojas in.

But are the LMP2 cars especially thirsty? 2 stops in the first hour and half?

The official race is on one of the cable channels, but this was more interesting to me. Great shot out the front of the car reminds me of Grand Turismo (I'm taking notes on braking points and gearing).

There are so few cars this year. They are spaced out and not a ton of action that I was able to catch on the official channel (but I was in and out).

59 started which is pretty much the norm I think.
