Porsche is not looking too good as of now. Toyota dominated the first two races including test days this past weekend. I do know Porsche have been focusing on Lemans preparation but they are admitting they can't match the pace of Toyota.

I did see that, not looking too good. Going to make for a bit of a boring race as well if they just disappear into the distance.

Could be interesting

I dunno, I think this year's race could be pretty interesting. I think the decision to cut back to only two cars on Porsche's part has everything to do with keeping Toyota in the game...because if Toyota pulls out of LMP1 like Audi did, and Nissan, and Peugeot did, then...who are Porsche going to race against? LMP1 will cease to exist.

So we've got three Toyotas with less than Porsche-level tech and engineering vs two Porsches. I call that a fair fight.
