It was a crazy race and many " experts " handed Toyota the checkered flag before the race started I have watched enough of these 24 hour events and it ain't over till the fat lady sings . Way too much can go wrong that isn't under anyone's control .
And it looked like Corvette had it wrapped up but they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory . Congratulations to Porsche for their 19th LeMans overall victory and 3rd in a row !

Thanks for sharing the link - watching now. Formula 1, please step aside. 24 hrs of Le Mans is the best racing event of the year!

pleasure Sir!

Some of those cars goes really fast. This is no-no video games. Preetee insane stuff. Mosports to a whole new level indeed

It would be cool to see some night race time, that got to be incredible to watch. If anyone got links, please share (I'd find them but I'm on my mobby working all night here).

I listened to at least 12hrs of the race, and watched a good amount from the #1 919... then switched to the #2 of course.

Watching them hammer corners at night is incredible.
