So what was going on there with the cars crawling into T1?

Also, morning all. I sloped off to bed at 1:30am. I thought 12 hours was a decent innings. Those of you up all night, kudos.

Was there any rain overnight?

I always struggle to catch up in the morning, see the inevitable changes and wonder where the hell certain cars have gone.

Surely there is a 'what happened overnight' write up somewhere?

The Brundle car appears to have gone but a Twitter search didn't reveal anything.

Oil leak.

No rain.

Good battles in 3 of the classes with British teams leading in each

Anyone still drinking?

Only coffee

I have now found the ACO live stream which is free for members. Comes with an option for commentary in English. The commentary is excellent one of them being Allan McNish. ACO members can also access some recorded hourly updates which is handy for catching up.

Hopefully the ACO will keep this for next year when we are trackside

Tea - 4th cup.

Morning all, pleased to see the Aston leading GTP.

Presumably there wasn't much rain in the night - thought storms were expected, weather looks great over there this am.

Morning all, thanks for those that stayed up and gave us sleepyheads a catch up.

Missing that chilly sunny morning feel arriving back at the track after a hearty breakfast....

They might be leading but it’s still fairly close isn’t it? They were trading pit stops when I went to sleep last night..

Really miss sitting at Arnarge corner watching the sun come up. Surrounded by troopers in the grass in sleeping bags. Car brake discs glowing, BBQs smouldering smell. Coffee and another sausage baguette. Next year.

Defo.

I don't miss waking up with a hangover in a hot tent though.

I'd like to see Anthony Davidson win LMP2. His car was leading when I checked this morning.

About a minute - think Ferrari was narrowly leading when I got in last night.

Always beer and breakfast are required on such events

By my calculations, if the 7 can average 3s per lap over the rebellions then they can haul them back.

I’m surprised the 7 hasn’t been pushing for purple sectors, if the 8 hits big problems Toyota could lose it.

True - usually drive back on the sunday though.
