Toyota is legit not allowed to win this race. They are plagued with such terrible luck at Le Mans recently its insane.

Dang, wanted Jackie Chan's team to win this race overall, but oh well. GG Porsche, your crew was top. Also sad Corvette didn't win in GTE Pro, since all the Euros in the paddock talk crap about the American drivers.

Pretty interesting race. The LMP2 run in the lead was really fun and the LMP1 breakdown fest was crazy.

Good stuff.
