Bit of a hiccup for the #7 Toyota.... given a meatballffor a sensor problem. Problem turnred out to be a sensor on a driveshaft on a compulsory torque dat transmission the FIA require and they lost someething like 7 or 8 laps replacing it.

So Toyota #8 leads by a lap from 2 Ferraris, a Porsche, Peugeot, Cadillac, so 5 different makes in the top 6.

LMP2 is more of a battle at the front with United and Prema split by seconds.

But I am following on live timing and updates whilst I watch Goodwood. With Goodwood some stunning racing. Who needs F1.

I guess this is the first of those special centenary LM24 liveries we will start to see now.

I rather like it. Its certainly an improvement over the rather bland current livery.
