What the hell happened? Just woke up to catch the flag drop. How did Porsche win GT2? And also how did the 908's fail with four of them?

Just looked at the last of the live timing chronos and see that most of the mighty have fallen. Anyone have details on how/why the Corvettes.
Congrats to Leh for a great finish in two of the worlds toughest races in a months span.

Wow that was a crazy race. I dont know if anyone caught it but on the official ACO page someone hacked in and wrote Peugot sucked on top. Pretty funny.
Congrats to all that finished, great job by Audi (now give Porsche back their drivers) and nice job on the GT2 win for Porsche!

The various Corvette cars mainly had mechanical problems. They did have one incident while leading the GT2 class somewhere around hour 18 where they were run off the road by an LMP1 Peugeot trying to make up lost ground. The Corvette spun and slammed hard into the wall at the Porsche curves and the Corvette team then had to rebuild the back end of their car in the garage. But soon after returning to the race, this Vette car suffered catastrophic engine failure.
Not a good year for Peugeot in LMP1 and Corvette in GT2 (both were fast but neither were reliable). But a good year for Audi in LPM1 and Porsche in GT2 (both were obviously fast enough, reliable and somewhat lucky).
