Porsche is very confused about this penalty they've received. We watch (with two hours to go), as Audi pits for a routine stop for car #7. Marcel Fassler stays in the car, and Timo Bernhard, retakes the place. Great stop for Audi. #8 has made a pass. Loic Duval is slightly ahead of Marcel Fassler. Neel Jani has now taken the race lead back. KCMG have retakn the LMP2 lead. The #26 car had to pit. The #50 Corvette C-7-R- made contact with the GDrive LMP2 car. Luis Felipe Derani, was nudged by Kristian Poulsen. Check that. It could have been Gianluca Roda in the Corvette. The Strakka Gibson prototype pitted. Jonny Kane takes over from Nick Leventis.
Sam Bird leads LMP2 with Luis Felipe Derani nearly a lap behind. Sebastien Buemi pits the #1 Toyota TS040. Audi cannot get close enough to Porsche to apply the blowtorch and put pressure on them. The #7 Audi was not off sequence on pit stops. But, unless there is another full course yellow, they will be short on fuel. Will team orders come into play for Porsche and Audi? Mike Conway has Tweeted that he apologizes for his accident, to the team. The Dempsey Racing Porsche pits. We watch the fireworks over the track right now.
Sam Bird takes over the LMP2 lead. Matt Howson could have issues with the #47 KCMG automobile. Drivers are again warned about track limits. Krep it clean out there, boys. Aston Martin has not had the pace they wanted. Ferrari's and Porsche's are doing well. The factory Porsche's are running basically, what is an endurance test. They've been running in formation for most of the race. A good chunk of it. Richard Lietz is the leader in LM GTE Pro and in the driver's championship.
The last Austrian champion in racing of any kind, may have been Niki Lauda. Don't look it up. If you know it, put it in the comments section of this post, please. ESM is having trouble with having to get the gearbox coolers cleaned. There will be factory Porsche 911 RSR's in the FIA WEC next year. Porsche 919's continue to lead. It could be an omen if you are into numerology. It's the nineteenth day of the ninth month of the year.
Porsche team mates and G Drive team mates lead in LMP1 and LMP2. Ditto for Porsche in LM GTE Pro. Francois Perrodo currently leads LM GTE Am.
LMP1: #18 Porsche Team
LMP2: #26 G-Drive Racing
LM GTE Pro: #91 Porsche Team Manthey
LM GTE Am: #83 AF Corse
In the gasoline powered Prototypes, Rebellion is doing better than CLM at the moment. #28 is second in LMP2 and in the lane. Luis Felipe Derani is out of the car. Marcel Fassler has understeer issues with the Audi #7. We are going to step away, from the race, as there is a college football game going on. We'll be back, shortly. We have a top five of Porsche, Porsche, Audi, Audi, Toyota.
