The Alonso influence at Toyota is real. What a shame for the other car.

Ford GT in GT Pro and GT AM dq’d for illegal fuel tank holding more fuel than allowed. So Porsche RSR in GT AM is now the winner

That amount of fuel over more than 20 stops over the course of the race could have saved them one additional stop (45-60 seconds?). Not sure what the interval was to the next car.

Some are saying BOP changes in close proximity to the race didn't allow the team to verify capacity but I don't understand how the BOP changes would have impacted total capacity.

The Wynn FGT (GTE AM) also got DQ'd for two infractions, one fuel capacity. ACO on a roll...

The capacity was greater than 96,1l, but the exact figure is unknown.

I believe it was 44.9s and the penalty was 55.2s.

BOP can change tank size to ensure that each car in a BOP class (e.g., GTE) can run the same number of laps a stint / per tank of gas.

They have different fuel capacities, gas mileage, etc.

If you would like to "feel" the LM experience, from a regular spectator point of view, here is a friend's small movie:
