vmax - 335kmh - superb driving - well done Toyota
Is it me, or does it seem like the Kobayshi's have a monopoly on world records?

First, it's hot dogs. Now LeMans. Sheesh.

Currently 12 lap lead for 919 and 20 sec for RSR. A lot of folks around with flags in hand. Too early, still 7 hours to go. Hopefully those cars keep on going.m

#1 leader lost oil pressure. Lingering back to pits on electric motors. Scheiße

Any solar panels on these cars? Might help get these LMP1 cars to the pits. I guess Aston has used it for a/c in the past.

This is cruel.

Is there enough time for the #2 car to catch up? And let's hope the same thing doesn't happen to it.

Still leading Pro class by close to a minute.

They just said here that #2 has quite a good chance for overall win. Their view is that it all depends on yellows and yellow/slow zones.

Car in third place just got assesed a stop go penalty so# 2 should be almost 3rd pretty soon.

This is Brutal - just watched the 2 car pit - camera on Brendon Hartley - he looks focussed. Number two car has done a great job.

Looking at the times it could come down to the last lap.......amazing

The atmosphere here is one of guarded optimism. They feel there should be enough time to catch up, barring a long yellow.
