    They're the top class, they're the big news, and they're putting on a great show.

    positions 4-8 glued together.

    they were listed 15 down, now 11.

    Peugeot's cars look too good to be in the back of the pack.

    will this gamble pay off???

    the safety car comes off only when the rain stops....do all the rain tire takers get hosed or do Ferrari get hosed?

    Porsche curves are wet, but sunny.

    looks like the rain is gone and with a long SC, I’d stay on dry tires

    Toyota 8th and 9th at this point.... wondering if they really are struggling with pace or if they're setup for a different condition.

    it's 7:30 local time...maybe it cools off after the rain.

    I think overnight and the cooling off will show some car differences.

    seems like Ferrari keeps using mediums so maybe Toyota is slower over a stint with the same tires.

    lots of dry track....Jota LMP2 was on slicks and just took more slicks...

    are they done fixing that barrier?

    lots of people switching back to slicks...track temp 12 degrees lower. 28-30 C instead of 40...

    I'm seeing softs come out.

    SPOTTER TIP: There's a little trapezoid on the sidewall. White with "S" for soft, Yellow with M for medium

    Ferrari going to softs!

    I wish they made it more obvious to see what tire they’re using, a la F1 or Indy

    sort of...losing a lap for just being in the gravel...that sucks for them.
