Porsche was gifted this victory, but that is the way it works, they were the first to cross the line. They were in position to take advantage of Toyota's misfortune.

How about Ford winning on the 50th anniversary of them winning in the GT40? Also great that Sebastion Bourdais finally won his hometown race driving for Ford. I was fortunate to have worked with him at a Daytona 24 hour race, and he was terrific to have on the team. Very nice, fun, and personable until he got into the car, then he was all business. And extremely quick!

That really sucks for Toyota. Congrats to the home team for being there to capitalize. That must be an amazing feeling to be part of a winning team.

Overnight and into the morning, I watched the Ford feed on YouTube. They switched back and forth between their cars. They had an audio feed from a British FM station (Radio LeMans?) that I thought did a great job. At the bottom of the hour, they always gave the weather and standings. I could wake up and listen to the computer for a while to hear what was going on. Then watched the finish on FS2 while still listening to the computer.

Excited that both Porsche and Ford won. A real bummer for Toyota. That racing. I'm a Porsche fan so I'm happy with the result
