    First pit stops...the peugeot and cadillac almost crash at pit in....the peugeot over-slowed, it appears, the cadillac flat spotted tires.

    It looks like Ferrari took tires, most other teams didn't.

    The cadillac has to pit again... "The tires are fudged..."

    After the AF corse ferrari was in the lead, those Iron Dames are fast!!! GTE Am is a race!!

    The #7 Toyota might have an engine problem.

    Update:

    They have to change a driveshaft!! For the car to comply with the FIA, a certain amount of data has to be broadcast back to the FIA. A sensor or something has failed on the left rear that is preventing that transmission. The car is not in compliance...they're changing the whole rear corner.

    The two 499P's have now passed the Stuttgart piggie and one of the Toyotas is having a very long pitstop, it is now six laps behind! Our boys are thus 2nd and third and fastest of all ATM.

    If you don't have tv go to fiawec and follow live timing.

    They just showed some statistic that there have been 1389 overtakes already in the first 1.5 hours of the race...

    I've got to run an errand...long way to go still.

    #51 Ferrari seems to be out of front brakes, but will fall down the order.

    Happy for the second place and the finish in GTE.
    Gap is always important with Toyota but a pretty good start for the Ferrari hypercar era.
