Oh well... must be the BMS or ConBox that screwed us

...there's always next year.

But Ferrari winning twice in a row after so many years... they must be getting the hang of it.

PS Loved the pit boss on the Mustang crew. Great to see and more needed!

Jim Farley owned and raced my 1974 3.0 RSR for a few years, partnered with Bobby Rahal, before selling it to Eric Douglas in Sweden, where it now sits in his Porsche museum.

In many ways it was a great race. Congratulations to Ferrari for a second consecutive win. Nice for Porsche/Manthey to do well in GT.

For sure I was hopeful for Porsche to win overall. They were solidly there or there-abouts, but I think Thomas Laudenbach stated it correctly that in the end, Porsche was missing just a little bit to Ferrari and Toyota. I think they (Porsche-Penske) did well in that they showed up and did the maximum in every session and did not hold back. In the end it was not enough, but it was close.
