Default Porsche Wins Lemans!

Well, actually Toyota lost it. Their car crapped out on the LAST LAP after dominating for the first 23h 58 minutes. Unreal. I'm listening to the broadcast, still haven't figured out exactly what happened. Bizarre. Nice win for Porsche!

Worst part was, not only did Toyota #5 cross the finish line second, they did not go to the podium because new rule requires that all cars complete a victory lap.

My fault you go on a Porsche forum after the biggest race of the year and hope to NOT see a spoiler. Give your head a shake DUDE.

Why do you feel the need to announce the results? This isn't Facebook.

Wow, tough crowd. Just trying to share my excitement and engage in some discussion post race. It was an exciting morning and I wanted to share with some like minded enthusiasts. Thought my local Porsche forum would be a good place for it. My bad.

Don't sweat it. I am with you on this. Its not Facebook. That is correct. Its a Porsche site so entirely appropriate and expected in my book.

If I was pvr'ing the race and didn't want to know the outcome I certainly wouldn't come to a Porsche forum!

Cheers

I wouldn't worry about it. It's your forum as much as anyone else's.
It was great Porsche news!
Maybe next time put spoiler alert in the heading and who won in the message.

I don't think you should worry. The world can't stop because people didn't watch a race live. When I don't watch an F1 race live I make sure to be careful of where I go on the internet and also turn off the news whenever a sportscast is about to start.
