Big crash at 16 hours to go, Ferrari 51 spun on cold tyres avoiding another car, the crazy driving 66 Ferrari nearly overturned going OVER the 7 Toyota and another one hard.
Toyota 7 hypercar is OUT and is unsafe with electrocution risk..

Screwed By HULU Again! I took the day to do a BMW fun run looking forward to coming home to the first 8 hours of the 2023 Le Mans. Shows that is was recorded but unable to play it. They have screwed me out of so much F1 and now WEC. Think there will be a issue if I short pay this months bill?

After 50 years of no works LMP1 Le Mans entry for Ferrari it would be great if they can win at least to cover their struggle in F1 at this time.
As I speak the 51 Ferrari leads by a minute

At nearly two hours to go it's 51 Ferrari with driver Giovinazzi leading from the 8 Toyota with danger man Hartley driving and chipping away at the lead. The other 50 Ferrari may come into play with spoiling Hartleys haste though that's come in for a service now and the gap is just 9 seconds.

8 Toyota trip up! Hits barrier and spins! Returns to box with damage for panel changes and tyres..and it goes back out again. Hirakawa says sorry guys. Will the Caddy hunt him down...
Hartley warned Hirakawa about the rears locking and that's what happened.

One hour left and 51 Ferrari in for service and driver change for Fuoco who puts in FL of all to stamp Ferrari's authority on the 100th running of Le Mans.

Last stop for the 51 with 5% charge left.. oh oh the car is not moving... but then the lights come on and they're off..phew! Toyota were hoping...
as a Glickenhaus crashes and is beached.
8 Toyota is 50 seconds behind now but...it comes in for fuel.

What’s the DNA of the Cadi entry ? Made in the USA ? Customer chassis, engine ?

Was a great race by Ben Keating’s team.

Anyone running out to place a Z06 order tomorrow? I hear production beginning to ramp, and likely can fill all demand orders for 2024. Not me. But I do respect the accomplishment.
