    Le Mans anyone?

    I know one member here is there. I'm watching on FS2. Porsche running 2 and 4 with the 919.

    I have two customers as drivers, which is kinda neat (not that any of my parts are on any cars)

    Edit:
    Now streaming (on Fox) as Fox Sports has gone to something else.
    Porsche now 2 and 3.

    What an unbelievable finish. Happy that Porsche won but I really feel for the Toyota team. However to me the fight back of the #1 car after its troubles was amazing and the thing to watch over the last few hours. Lapping at the times of the leaders, or better, for most of that time a magnificent fight back from position 48 to position 13 at the end

    No kidding! The last several laps, I was thinking a Toyota win would be really good for the sport. But actually, Toyota grinding to a stop with 1 lap to go was probably even better. Just underscores how difficult it is to win Le Mans.

    Also, cheers for Ford. Big effort!

    I'm glad I got up to watch it live because Fox sports sucks. My DVR settings got all screwed up by their channel changing.

    I was watching the Porsche guys looking a little resigned but before seeing the leader stop I was still holding out hope that something would happen to allow Porsche to win. Last year Toyota was leading and had a sudden catastrophic electrical failure, but that was only about halfway through the race. I could hardly believe that something like this could actually happen literally on the last lap!

    I enjoyed seeing the celebration in the Porsche pits when that shot came up on the screen of the leader stopped just past the finish line.

    Just goes to show- never give up! Porsche reliability wins another Le Mans!
