A little more than aggressive driving on the Porsche side against Sebastian and he’s Pissed!

I still don’t understand the bop for Porsche, happy 60th indeed...

Well...... it is their 70th year anniversary this year. [emoji106][emoji12]

Without some help, it looks like 3rd will be our best finish. 1-2-3 at Le Mans in years 1 through 3 of the GT program is impressive. Hopefully next year we will be at the top of the rotation again.

Well, it doesn't look like Team Ford was keeping anything in their back pocket earlier in the race. The Porsches just have too much advantage. I'm tired of racing where you can't win on the track if you don't win in the race rules meetings.

Things can break--ask Toyota--but the Porsches have been running strong and it looks like they have a little in their back pocket.

Yeah, I'm very happy for him. Congratulations also to Toyota for coming in 1-2 in a class of 2. :lol After the 2016 heartbreak that me and my family witnessed in person, they deserve the win.

Very proud of a top 3 finish! I watched the last 2 Le Mans races in their entirety, without sleep. Just to finish the race is testament enough to the toughness and durability of the cars and crews. Great effort guys!!

Also, thanks to Velocity Channel for broadcasting the whole race, and to Ford for the in-car video broadcast. Much of the time I had both the Velocity Channel and the Ford Performance TV going at the same time!

We invaded their booth and they were kind enough to spend some time with us chatting after the race.

My opinion only, Porsche’s #91 was very lucky he didn’t draw a penalty for his over aggressive driving against Ford #68 Sebastian Bourdais early this morning as he cut him off and attempted to run him off the track. A little French Home Cooking for their 70th Anniversary present! The Pig car was very fast and took advantage of many Yellow flag areas during the race to extend his distance plus a definite BOP adjustments. We’ll see next race and next year!

3rd pretty good all things considered, how’s the team feel about the finish? 2nd was so close as well!
